Lyman Lead Pot

Product detailed description

LYMAN LEAD POT for lead melting. Allows the use of any heat source for lead melting. The flat bottom reduces the risk of tipping the container over.

WARNING: The pot is not designed for melting zinc, if it is damaged in this way the warranty will not be applied. Lead and its fumes are toxic. Molten lead can cause burns. Wear appropriate protective equipment.

TECHNICAL PARAMETERS

• container contents approx. 4.5kg of lead
• pouring spout
• flat bottom

CAUTION: Be very careful not to get any water into the molten lead. Even a small drop of liquid will explode and spray hot lead violently, which can fly several metres. Wear safety glasses whenever using. Use the furnace only in areas where adequate ventilation is provided. Keep food and beverages away from the work area. Wash your hands before eating or smoking. If the furnace is cold, lead will probably drip briefly from the outlet as it heats up. Make sure you have a catch basin under the outlet to catch these drips. Never beat on the valve rod to stop the leak.

WARNING: Lead smelting and lead casting cause birth defects, other reproductive problems, and cancer. Use protective clothing to try to reduce the risk of exposure to contamination from lead that is in the air, in dust and on the skin and is invisible. Keep children and pregnant women away from the area while the furnace is operating. Risks can be reduced but will not be completely eliminated: with strong ventilation, washing hands immediately after using products, before eating or smoking, and cleaning surfaces and floors with disposable wipes after dust has settled. Use strong ventilation.
