SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
READ ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING
TO OPERATE.
Because of the design requirements, there are
potential hazards that an operator should be aware
of:
WARNING:
The rotating motion of the specimen
holder creates an entanglement hazard. Do not
place body parts or objects in the area surrounding
the specimen holder and wheels as this may cause
injury and / or damage the equipment.
WARNING:
To minimize airborne particulate
generated during testing, the Taber Abraser Vacuum
must be used unless performing wet tests.
WARNING:
Lithium metal batteries may get hot,
explode or ignite and cause serious injury if exposed
to abusive conditions.
Below are general precautions that one should take
when operating the equipment:
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they
can become entangled in the moving parts.
Do not attempt to handle or adjust the test
specimen while the instrument is being
operated.
While mounting / removing test specimens, the
instrument should be stopped and the abrading
arms and vacuum nozzle should be in the rest
position.
Fine particulate may become airborne during
this test. To prevent inhalation, a paper mask
should be worn.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise generated by
the vacuum can cause impairment or loss of
hearing. Wear a suitable protection device such
as earplugs to protect against damaging loud
noises.
Lithium metal battery safety precautions:
o
Do not place the battery in fire or heat the
battery.
o
Do not install the battery backwards so the
polarity is reversed.
o
Do not connect the positive terminal and
negative terminal of the battery to each
other with any metal object (such as wire).
o
Do not expose battery to water or salt
water, or allow the battery to get wet.
o
