Safety
Electrical Hazards 7
WEEE Directive 12
The Rotating Bottle Apparatus has been carefully designed so that when
used properly you have an accurate, fast, flexible, and safe instrument.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Operation of a Rotating Bottle Apparatus involves the use of solid
dosage forms and aqueous liquids. Unskilled, improper, or careless use
of this instrument can create shock hazards, fire hazards, or other
hazards which can cause death, serious injury to personnel, or severe
damage to equipment and property.
Information on safety practices is provided with your instrument and
operation manuals. Before using your instrument or accessories, you
must thoroughly read these safety practices.
Electrical Hazards
Observe all relevant safety practices at all times.
The Rotating Bottle Apparatus contains electrical circuits, devices, and
components operating at dangerous voltages. Contact with these
circuits, devices, and components can cause death, serious injury, or
painful electric shock.
Panels or covers that are retained by fasteners which require the use of a
tool for removal may be opened only by Agilent-trained,
Agilent-qualified, or Agilent-authorized service engineers. Consult the
manuals or product labels supplied with the 8020 to determine which
parts are operator-accessible.

1Safety
Application of the wrong supply voltage, connection of the instrument
to an incorrectly wired supply outlet, or lack of proper electrical
grounding can create a fire hazard or a potentially serious shock hazard
and could seriously damage the instrument and any attached ancillary
equipment.
Always use a three-wire outlet with ground connection which is
adequately rated for the load. The installation must comply with local,
state, and federal safety regulations.
Do not connect the instrument to the main power supply until you have
made sure that the operating voltage is correctly set for the main power
supply in the specific outlet in your laboratory to which the equipment
will be connected.
