Basic information on the instrument design
•
The instrument is designed according to state-of-the-art technology and recognized safety standards.
•
However, inappropriate use may endanger the health and safety of the user or third parties and lead to a risk of damage to
the instrument and other material property.
Unauthorized modes of operation
•
Do not operate the control unit with sharp-edged or hot objects. This causes damage to the touch screen.
•
The operation of the instrument with power sources, products, etc., which are subject to hazardous materials regulations or
could have any negative impact on the health of the operating personnel when using equipment modified by the user, are not
permitted.
•
The unit may not be used without the sintering stand. The sintering stand must always be inserted in its designated recess
on the bottom of the sintering unit. The unit may not be used with a flammable narcotic agent with air or nitrous oxide.
•
The device is equipped with a fan. The fan is temperature-controlled. Activation, deactivation and speed of the fan are
controlled automatically. The fan prevents excessive heating of the unit and contributes to the overall operational safety. The
openings in the top cover of the sintering chamber, as well as the opening in the back cover, must not be covered or closed.
The unit may not be used without the fan.
Authorized modes of operation
•
The insulation of the sintering chamber contains ceramic mineral fibers (Index No. 650-017-00-08), which are classified as a
Cat. 2 carcinogen (Annex VI, EC 1272/2008). When working with the sintering chamber or exchanging the heating element,
fiber dust may be discharged.
•
Dust may be harmful if inhaled and cause irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory system. When replacing parts of the
sintering chamber, please observe the following instructions:
Wear long-sleeved protective clothing.
Wear safety goggles, as well as protective gloves.
Use a dust vacuum system or wear an FFP-2 respirator.
Once work has been completed, rinse the dust from unprotected skin using cold water.
Wash workwear separately from everyday clothing.
•
The operation of the device is only permitted if this operating manual has been completely read and understood and the
procedures described in it have been observed. Any other or additional use, e.g., processing of products other than those
intended is considered misuse, as is the handling of hazardous materials or substances that are dangerous to personal
health.
•
Repairs and servicing of any kind may only be carried out by specially trained personnel.
Please note:
•
The manufacturer/supplier will not be liable for any damage resulting from such unauthorized use. The risk of such use is borne
exclusively by the user.
