For your safety
These centrifuges are manufactured according to
current technical standards and regulations. Nonethe-
less, centrifuges may pose danger to individuals and
surrounding if
they are not used as designed ,
they are operated by untrained personnel
,
their design is improperly changed
,
the safety instructions are not followed
.
Therefore, personnel involved with operation and
maintenance of the centrifuge must read and follow
the safety instructions.
In addition, the pertinent regulations for prevention of
accidents must be strictly followed.
This manual is an integral part of the centri-
fuge assembly and must be kept close at
hand at all times.
Proper use
The centrifuge is designed to separate liquid-
suspended materials having different densities and
particle size, respectively (maximum sample density is
1.2 g/cm³ {ml} at maximum speed).
Improper use
During a run, a safety zone of 30 cm around the centri-
fuge must be maintained where neither persons nor
hazardous materials may be present.
The centrifuge may cause harm to its user or other
persons or may damage goods if safety measures are
not followed
:
Centrifuging hazardous materials
The centrifuge is neither made inert, nor is it
explosion-proof. Therefore, never use the centrifuge
in an explosion-prone environment.
Do not centrifuge explosive or flammable sub-
stances. The same holds for substances prone to
react violently with each other.
When damages to the power cord or at
casing are noticed the centrifuge must
to be set out of operation!
