The following hazards are associated with the Model 1010 Ion Mill.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD.
High voltages can cause severe injury or death. Do not
connect the power cord until after the initial inspection and after making gas connections.
Do not attempt to operate the instrument with the cover removed.
Before disconnecting the power cord from the instrument, wait one minute to ensure that
any charged electronic component will discharge.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.
Toxic, reactive, or radioactive materials can cause
severe injury or death. If hazardous materials will be inserted into the Model 1010 for
processing, the ion mill must be connected directly to an exhaust system capable of
accommodating the hazardous material. If radioactive materials will be milled, the
instrument must be enclosed in protective shielding.
LASER HAZARD.
Laser beams can cause severe eye damage. Do not point the laser
beam into your eye or into any other person’s eye. The ion mill contains a 670 nm red
(visible) Class II laser.
COMPRESSED GAS.
High-pressure gas stream can injure exposed skin or eyes. Point
tubing away from personnel while connecting or disconnecting gas cylinders.
MECHANICAL HAZARD.
Moving parts can injure fingers and hands. Do not attempt
to operate the instrument with the cover open.
