These tools require a safety checkout

Ask before attempting to operate!
Max temp: 2300F (do not operate at this temperature or higher. it is an old kiln and high heat will wear it out faster)
The garage door should be partially open to ventilate any fumes
The EconoKiln can be operated in the Auto Shop using an extension cable

Safe Location - is the kiln at least 30 feet from any combustible items? Is it in a safe location where it will be undistrubed?
Inspect the kiln controls - do the switches turn on and off normally?
Inspect the heater coils and bricks - is everything intact?
When turning on - check the heat of the plug and cable. Is it too hot to touch?
