6.5 Removing the grinding elements
WARNING!
Wear safety gloves!
The collecting vessel and the grinding elements can become
very hot after grinding. Grinding elements such as rotors,
sieves and the collecting vessel can have sharp edges. For
cleaning wear gloves that are safe and without defect.
To avoid cutting hazards from sieve rings, use sieves with
reinforced edges as standard. These do not have any sharp
metal edges.
1.
Lift off the lid of the collecting vessel (1) and, moving outwards
with a brush, clean the grinding stock from the outer surface of
the sieve ring (4) and from the inner edge of the collecting vessel
(6). If source material falls downward, it does not directly enter
the device; however, this should immediately be vacuumed away
with a vacuum cleaner (
Ä
‘Cleaning’ on page 36) after removing
the sample.
2.
Remove collecting vessel (6) with the sample.
3.
Use a vacuum cleaner to vacuum away the residual source mate-
rial.
4.
Remove sieve ring (4) and rotor (5).
It is important to remove the sieve ring (4) and rotor
(5) only after removing the sample, because incom‐
pletely milled sample material could be on either
part. There is a chance that this could find its way
into the milled sample and falsify the milling results.
5.
Use a vacuum cleaner once again to vacuum away any residual
source material on the labyrinth disk.
6.
Remove labyrinth disk (9).
7.
Clean parts before the next grinding (
Ä
‘Cleaning’ on page 36).
