1.6 Mechanical Hazards
WARNING Moving parts
[W12]
Avoid contact with moving parts during operation of the
QIAgility. Under no circumstances should you place your
hands under the pipetting arm when it is lowering. Do not
attempt to move any plates or tubes whilst the instrument is
operating.
CAUTION Damage to the instrument
[C3]
Do not apply any manual force to the Y-arm (i.e. the
pipetting head).
We strongly recommend restarting the system if the Y-arm
was accidentally manually moved.
To ensure satisfactory and safe operation of the QIAgility:

Only use recommended tips and tip racks.

Keep the instrument lid closed whenever possible.

Do not disable the lid interlock.

When calibrating plates with the lid open, always stand
clear of the instrument when making adjustments.
The lid interlock is disabled during calibration mode.
Therefore, do not click with the mouse or press any of
the keys on the keyboard when looking closely at plate
calibrations. Wait until the robotic arm has completed its
movements before moving any plates or tubes.

Do not place any items on the robotic arm.

Click on the icon, located on the software toolbar, to
pause the instrument before removing plates or tubes
from the worktable. Wait until the robotic arm has
completed the current movement. This may take up to 10
seconds.
