Safety instructions
•
Read the operating instructions in full before
starting up and follow the safety instructions.
• Keep the operating instructions in a place where
it can be accessed by everyone.
• Ensure that only trained staff work with the instrument.
•
Follow the safety instructions, guidelines, occupational health and safety and accident prevention regulations.
• Because the options for combining products,
tools, stirring vessel, experiment and medium
are nearly endless, user safety cannot be ensured simply with design requirements on the
part of the product. For this reason, it may
become necessary for users to take other precautionary safety measures. For example, glass
device or other stirring vessels that are sensitive
to mechanical stress can be damaged or shattered by an imbalance, increasing the speed too
quickly or too little distance between the stirring
element and the stirring vessel. Users can suffer
serious injury from glass breakage or from the
freely rotating stirring element.
• Uncontrolled reactions can be triggered by mixing the heated material insuciently or by the
energy generated by selecting a speed that is
too high. In case of these and other increased
operational hazards, users must take additional
appropriate safety precautions (e.g. shatter
protection). In any case, when using critical or
hazardous materials in your processes, IKA®
recommends to use additional appropriate
measures to ensure safety in the experiment.
For example, users can implement measures
that inhibit fire or explosions or comprehensive monitoring equipment.
ers must make sure that the OFF switch of the
®
IKA
product can be accessed immediately, di-
rectly and without risk at any time.
DANGER
If installation or positioning
cannot ensure this access at
all times, an additional EMER-
GENCY STOP switch that can
be easily accessed must be installed in the work area.
• Only process media that will not react dangerously to the extra energy produced through
processing. This also applies to any extra energy
produced in other ways, e.g. through light irradiation.
•
Do not operate the instrument in explosive atmospheres, with hazardous substances or under
water.
Furthermore, us-
•
Process pathogenic materials only in closed vessels
under a suitable fume hood. Please contact IKA®
application support if you have any question.
• The instrument is not suitable for hand-held operation.
• The high torque developed by the EUROSTAR
requires particular care in the choice of stand,
cross sleeve and anti-rotation element for the
agitating vessel.
• Set up the stand in a spacious area on an even,
stable, clean, non-slip, dry and fireproof surface.
• You must ensure that the stirring element is securely clamped in the chuck!
•
Use stirring shaft protective equipment!
• The agitated vessels used for stirring have to be
secured. Consider on a good stability of the entire structure.
DANGER
Please pay attention to
the dangerous parts of the
equipment in Fig. 8.
•
Protect the instrument and accessories from
bumping and impacting.
•
Check the instrument and accessories beforehand for damage each time when you use
them. Do not use damaged components.
•
Safe operation is only guaranteed with the acces-
sories described in the ”Accessories” section.
• Always switch the main switch in the OFF posi-
tion or disconnect the power before changing
stirring element and fitting allowed accessories.
• The instrument can only be disconnected from
the mains supply by pulling out the mains plug
or the connector plug.
• The socket for the mains cord must be easily
accessible.
•
Socket must be earthed (protective ground contact).
•
The voltage stated on the type plate must cor-
respond to the mains voltage.
• Please observe the permitted speed for the stirring element. Never set higher speed.
• Make certain that the unit is set at the lowest
speed before commissioning; otherwise, the
unit will begin running at the speed set in last
operation. Gradually increase the speed.
• Pay attention when setting the speed to any
imbalance of the stirrer tools and possible
spraying of the medium to be stirred.
DANGER
Never operate the instrument
with the stirrer tools rotating freely. Ensure that parts
of the body, hair, jewelry or
items of clothing cannot be
trapped by the rotating parts.
