in addition to the main warning labels affixed to the product and the key points outlined in the section of this User Manual titled ‘Operator

Safety Recommendations 

 

The following safety recommendations must be followed to prevent damage or injury. In addition to these safety recommendations, it is assumed 
that the user and operator have had experience in a commercial environment, and had appropriate training in how to perform their work safely 
in accordance with any local operational health and safety regulations. The operator and all users should be well versed in local emergency 
procedures as per the workplace safety regulations in effect. 

 
 

 

CAUTION 

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be 
impaired. 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION

 

A surge protected power outlet is strongly recommended as it provides some protection for the equipment in areas of poor 
electrical quality as well as providing some protection against lightning strikes. The equipment should be operated on a good, 
reliable supply of power at all times. 

 

Note: The Tube Roller Mixer should not be operated on the same electrical circuit as other high voltage household appliances 
such as fridges, clothes dryers, washing machines or other continuous operation high voltage devices. These types of devices 
can create power fluctuations that are undesirable for electrically sensitive equipment. Consult your workplace administrator or 
electrical maintenance staff if you are unsure.
