2 Safety
Purpose of This
Chapter
This chapter specifies the intended use of the Balance Kit and points out the
safety concept. It contains general rules of behavior and warnings from hazards
pertaining to the use of the kit.
Significance of
These Safety

Please note that the Balance Kit itself does not contain any hazardous parts.
However, it is installed on instruments where it is necessary to perform the
Gravimetric Test. Such instruments are equipped with parts that can move with
great force and at considerable speed. Moreover, these instruments often handle
toxic or other chemically and biologically hazardous substances which require
adequate safety measures.
As a consequence, the safety of users and personnel can only be ensured if the
safety instructions in this manual and the relevant hardware and software
manuals of the instruments on which the Gravimetric Test is run, are strictly
observed and followed.
Therefore, the relevant manuals must always be available to all persons
performing the tasks described herein.
