ENSURE THAT THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE MATCHES THAT SHOWN ON THE RATING PLATE
Models 50, 50-E, 50-220 & 50-220-S portable Electrode Stabilizing Ovens are capable of maintaining
electrodes in a dry state once removed from their storage site. They are intended for use by the welder while
at the site and not for permanent storage of rods. The temperature is regulated by a thermostat to maintain
constant internal temperature, whether rods are regularly removed or not. The temperature control is located
on the bottom of the oven for protection from physical damage. A pilot light is included to indicate oven
operation.
Care must be taken when loading and unloading electrodes from the oven. The electrodes and the rod lifter
handle may be hot and it is essential that any user of this equipment wear protective gloves and protective
eye wear.
To minimize the risk of electrical shock the ovens should not be exposed to rain or placed in water. Do not
touch an oven that has been exposed to rain or fallen into water until the power cord has been disconnected
from the power supply. Do not use the oven if the power cord or plug is damaged. This equipment must be
connected to a suitable power supply using a recognized connector or fused switch. This equipment must be
properly earth grounded. Before any attempt is made to remove the bottom cover, the power supply must be
isolated and precautions taken to ensure that it cannot be restored while the unit is being worked on.
USING THE OVEN
The oven is loaded and unloaded from the top using the rod lifter. The rod lifter handle may be hot
and gloves should be worn to prevent burns. The rod lifter should be pulled up and secured in the
raised position using one of the two rests on the rod lifter. Electrodes may then be loaded or
unloaded. When finished, the rod lifter should immediately be returned to the closed position.
To adjust the temperature setting of the oven, place the oven on its side on a bench or other raised
surface. Rotate the thermostat shaft (located on the bottom of the oven) using a slot screw driver,
clockwise to increase the temperature.
