1.1 

Importance of the operating manual 

A fundamental requirement for the safe and trouble-free operation of the 
centrifuge is to be familiar with the fundamental safety instructions and all 
possible hazards. 

The operating manual includes important information concerning the safe 
operation of the centrifuge. 

This operating manual and, in particular, the notes on safety and hazards 
must be observed by all persons operating the centrifuge. 

In addition, the local rules and regulations for the prevention of accidents 
must be complied with.

1.2 

Intended use 

Centrifuges are power-driven machines that separate liquids from solid 
matter, liquid mixtures, or solid mixtures by centrifugal force. They are 
solely intended for this purpose. Any other use beyond this area of 
application is regarded as improper use. Sigma Laborzentrifugen GmbH 
cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from such improper use. 

The intended use also includes 
•  observation of all the notes and instructions included in the operating 

manual and 

•  compliance with the care, cleaning, and maintenance instructions.

Warranty and liability claims are excluded if they are due to: 
•  improper use. 
•  non-compliance with the safety instructions and hazard warnings in the 

operating manual. 

•  improper installation, start-up, operation, or maintenance of the 

centrifuge.
