Safety instructions
Pay attention when setting the speed to any imbalance of the
stirrer tools and possible spraying of the medium to be stirred.
Please follow the relevant safety instructions and guidelines,
and occupational health and safety regulations for use in the
laboratory.
Avoid blows or impacts on the plug-in coupling of the stirrer
tool receptacle. Even minor, invisible damage can lead to im-
balance and uneven shaft action. Careful handling guarantees
safe working and the long life of the equipment.
If vibration of the equipment is noticed, the speed must be
reduced immediately in all cases until no more vibration
occurs. In this case exchange the stirring tool for one without
imbalance or remedy the cause of the imbalance.

Additional dangers for the user may occur if flammable materi-
als are in use during the stirring process or, if glass devices are
used, the transferred mechanical energy of the stirring ele-
Page
ment causes the breakage of the glass. The stirring containers
2
utilised for the stirring process must be securely fastened as
7
required.

The protection of the device is no longer warranted for the user
if the device is operated with accessories which are not provi-
ded or recommended by the manufacturer or if the device is
operated in a manner opposed to the instructions of the manu-
facturer for proper use.
