3.4 General Hazards
3.5 Servicing
Before installing or operating the Spin Coater, there are several health and safety precautions which must be
followed and executed to ensure safe installation and operation.
WARNING: Improper handling when operating or servicing this equipment can result in serious
injury. Read this manual before operating or servicing this equipment.
I. DANGER: DO NOT use the Spin Coater in the presence of an explosive atmosphere.
II.
WARNING: Emergency Power Disconnect options: Use the power cord as a
disconnect method. Ensure that the power outlet for this cord is easily accessible by
the user.
III. CAUTION: Opening the lid will cause the rotating chuck to stop. However, due to
inertia it will take a few seconds for the rotating chuck to come to a complete stop at
the highest speeds.
IV. CAUTION: Ensure the substrate is placed into a chuck with an adequate-sized recess
as it holds it in place and stops it flying around the bowl or even out of the bowl if the
lid was opened at the highest speed (see caution III).
V. CAUTION: Use under an exhaust hood when used with flammable or harmful
solvents.
