the manufacturer.
•
Do not modify the equipment, the safety shields, the components, nor any accessory, nor use,
store, ship, or otherwise handle or cause to be handled this equipment in any manner other
than that which is expressly offered for sale. Inappropriate use of this equipment, and
unauthorized modifications of the equipment and any action of use of the equipment, storage
of the equipment, shipping, or other handling of the equipment, in a manner not expressly
authorized by Thermo Scientific will void any and all warranties and liabilities of the
manufacturer, whether expressed or implied.
•
Ensure that the power plug is connected to a power receptacle that provides voltage and
current specified for the device. Use of incompatible line power can cause shock and fire
hazard.
•
Never use a two-prong adapter or connect the device into a two-prong receptacle. Use of a
two-prong receptacle disables the electrical grounding and creates a severe shock hazard.
Always plug the device directly into a three-prong receptacle with a functional ground.
•
Do not use a power cord that is frayed or cut. Do not kink or strain the power cord. Use of a
damaged power cord can cause shock and fire hazard.
•
Never plug, unplug, or otherwise touch the power cord when your hands are wet. Contact with
the cord can cause severe shock hazard.
•
If you notice smoke or unusual odor or noise coming from the instrument, turn it off
immediately, then unplug the power cord. Do not use the instrument until it has been serviced
and inspected by Thermo Fisher Scientific or an authorized service representative.
•
Always turn off the power switch and unplug the power cord when servicing the device.
Contact with internal components or other components connected to the line power can cause
severe shock hazard. Perform only service procedures that are described in the manual or
authorized by Thermo Fisher Scientific service personnel.
•
Do not allow tools, objects or liquids to enter the instrument through ventilation slots or other
openings. Contact with electrical or other internal components can cause a severe shock, fire
hazard, or instrument malfunction. If a hazardous condition occurs, disconnect the instrument
from the line power immediately.
•
Keep hands away from moving parts (e.g., tips magazine mechanism, moving stages, and
any peristaltic pump). Personal injury may result. Warning symbols on the device indicate
areas of potential personal injury.
•
Always ensure that the local supply voltage in the laboratory conforms to that specified on the
rating label on the instrument’s power-connector.
•
Use protective gloves and eyewear and always wash your hands thoroughly after handling
test fluids and/or touching potentially soiled areas/components.
•
Observe normal laboratory procedures for handling potentially dangerous samples.
•
Wear proper protection clothing, such as protective gloves, eyewear, and laboratory coats
and/or other personal protection equipment, according to good laboratory practice and your
facility requirements.
•
Ensure that the working area is properly ventilated.
