and follow the safety instructions when in use.
•
Ensure that only trained staff works with the device.
•
Socket must be earthed (protective ground contact).
•
Caution-Magnetism!
Effects of the magnetic field have to be
taken in to account (e.g. data storage media, cardiac
pacemakers…).
•
The heating plate can reach temperatures of 310°C and pay
attention to the residual heat after switching off.
•
The main power supply cable should not touch the heating
plate.
•
Wear your personal protective equipment in accordance with
the hazard category of the media to be processed.
Otherwise there is a risk from:
-
Splashing and evaporation of liquids
-
Ejection of parts
-
Release of toxic or combustible gases
•
Set up the device in a spacious area on an even, stable, clean,
nonslip, dry and fireproof surface.
•
Don’t use damaged components.
•
Gradually increase the speed and reduce the speed if
-
the medium splashes out of the container because the
speed is too high
-
the machine is not running smoothly
-
the container moves on the heating plate
•
Caution!
Only process and heat up any media that has a flash
point higher than the adjusted safe temperature limit that has
been set.
•
The safe temperature limit must always be set to at least 50°C
lower than the fire point of the media used.
•
Beware of hazards due to:
-
flammable materials
-
combustible media with a low boiling temperature
-
glass breakage
-
incorrect container use
-
overfilling of media
-
unsafe condition of container
•
The machine may heat up when in use. Don’t use the machine
in explosive atmospheres with hazardous substances.
•
Process pathogenic materials only in closed containers under
a suitable extractor hood.
•
Only process media that will not react dangerously to the extra
energy produced in other ways, e.g. through light irradiation.
•
Accessories must be securely attached to the machine and
can’t come off by themselves.
•
Always disconnect the plug before fitting accessories.
•
The machine can only be disconnected from the mains supply
