Table 1
• When using the equipment, wear personal protective equipment to avoid the risks from:
- Splashing and evaporation of liquids
- Release of toxic or combustible gases.
•
Set up the instrument on a spacious, stable, clean, non-slip, dry, and fireproof surface. Do not operate the equipment
in explosive atmospheres, with hazardous substances or under water.
•
Gradually increase the speed. Reduce the speed if:
- The stirring bar breaks due to high speed
- The equipment is not running smoothly or the container moves on the base plate.
•
Temperature must always be set at least 25ºC below the flash point of the media used.
•
Beware of hazards due to:
- Flammable material or media with a low boiling temperature
- Overfilling of the container
- Unsafe container
•
Pathogenic materials must always be processed in close vessels.
Connect the device to a grounded power supply to ensure the
safety of the machine and the experiment. Connect the power
as the machine requires it.
The use of this equipment in inflammable and explosive,
poisonous, or highly corrosive experiments is forbidden.
Put the magnetic stirrer on a horizontal, flat, stable table.
This equipment must only be used by previously qualified staff.
When heating flammable substances, the hot plate temperature
must be lower than the substance's flash point.
Act with the utmost care when working with liquids that reach
temperatures higher than 100ºC (for example, oil).
If the vessel is overfilled, it may cause overheating of some
working parts, which will dissolve the flammable liquids.
While the machine is working, do not touch the hot plate, nor the
vessel or the solution in order to prevent high-temperature
burns.
Read the instruction book before operating the equipment.
