IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:

Crucibles, melting dishes and molten metals can reach extremely high temperatures and cause severe burns or fire. Always wear appropriate heat-resistant gloves, eye and face protection, protective clothing and closed-toe footwear when melting or pouring metal. Confirm that the crucible is properly secured in the holder before lifting or pouring, and never exceed the compatible diameter range of the tool.

Use only in a stable, well-ventilated, fire-resistant work area and keep combustible materials away from the casting zone. Crucibles, molds, tools and metals should be completely dry before use, as moisture can cause dangerous splattering when exposed to molten metal. Allow the holder and all casting equipment to cool fully before handling without protective equipment.
