More safety-relevant information is listed below:

flammability: Organic solvents are highly flammable. Since capillaries
can detach from their screw fittings and allow solvent to escape, it is
prohibited to have any open flames near the analytical system.

solvent tray: Risk of electrical shock or short circuit if liquids get into the
device's interior. For this reason, place all bottles in a solvent tray.

solvent lines: Install capillaries and tubing in such a way that liquids
cannot get into the interior in case of a leak.

leaks: Regularly check if any system components are leaking.

power cable: Defective power cables are not to be used to connect the
device and the power supply system.

self-ignition point: Only use eluents that have a self-ignition point
higher than 150 °C under normal ambient conditions.
