Work safety
➜
Always use the prescribed personal protective equipment (PPE) such as protective
clothing, safety goggles, protective gloves, safety shoes, etc.
➜
Persons with pacemakers must maintain a minimum distance of 10 cm from the
device to prevent possible interference.
➜
Depending on the effort and duration, holding the sample in automatic mode can
lead to overloads in the hand and arm area. When using the device, observe the
specifications of the EC directive 2002-44 on the permissible vibration load.
➜
Do not operate any other devices in the immediate vicinity of the device,
–
which can generate electromagnetic fields in the frequency range between
9 × 10
3
Hz and 3 × 10
11
Hz,
–
which generate emission or radiation sources in the frequency range
3 × 10
11
Hz to 3 × 10
15
Hz (in the optical spectral range wavelengths from
1,000 μm to 0.1 μm),
–
which generate ultrasonic or ionizing waves.
➜
Do not process substances that could release energy in an uncontrolled manner
(e.g. self-ignition).
➜
Do not process substances in which the energy input through mixing poses a
danger.
➜
Do not work with an open flame in the immediate vicinity of the device (risk of
explosion).
➜
Wipe off any fluid that may have spilled on the device immediately.
➜
Always switch off the device when it is not in use.
Rectify disturbances or faults on the device immediately.
Shut down the device and disconnect it from the power supply if it
is not possible to eliminate the disturbance or rectify the fault.
In such a case, contact the responsible technical service
department.
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
The operator must determine and provide the necessary PPE, depending on the respec-
tive application and the media and chemicals used.
The corresponding instruction of the personnel is solely within the operator’s
responsibility.
Environmental protection
When processing environmentally hazardous substances, take appropriate measures to
avoid risks to the environment.
The evaluation of corresponding measures such as the marking of a hazardous area,
their implementation, and the training of the responsible personnel is the sole responsi-
bility of the operator!
