Risk of explosion or fire
Changing sample properties
– Consider that the properties and therefore also the hazardousness of your
sample can change during the grinding process.
• Do not use any substances in this device which carry the risk of
explosion or fire.
NOTICE
Area of use of the machine
– This machine is a laboratory machine designed for 8-hour single-shift
operation.
• This machine may not be used as a production machine nor is it
intended for continuous operation.
5 Operating the machine
5.1 Use of the machine for the intended purpose
This Retsch ball mill is a laboratory device. It grinds and mixes soft, medium-hard
through to extremely hard, brittle and fibrous materials.
Dry and wet grinding may be conducted.
Minerals, ores, alloys, chemicals, glass, ceramics, plant parts, soil, sewage sludge
and many other substances can be ground easily, quickly and without loss. The
ball mills are successfully deployed in almost all areas of industry and research,
especially where there are high demands regarding cleanliness, speed, fineness
and reproducibility.
Only grinding jars from Retsch GmbH may be used.
Grinding with solvents is permitted. In this case the additional comments in the
“Wet grinding with highly flammable materials” chapter should be taken into
consideration, however.

• Pull out the locking pin (D) to release from the groove (DN).
• Twist the locking pin 90 degrees to release it permanently.
• Turn the twist grip (C) to open the grinding jar support.
• Only remove the grinding jar with closed lid.
• Only open the grinding jar in a safe position (e.g. extraction device).
• Only open the grinding jar once it has cooled down.
5.5.2 Closing
Fig. 20: Removing the grinding jar
With this grinding device, a very large amount of energy enters the sample
material.
• Therefore make sure that the grinding jar support has been closed properly.
• Before grinding check the lock on the grinding jar support (V).
Fig. 21: Locking the grinding jar support

• Turn the twist grip (C) anticlockwise and tighten the twist grip (C) only hand-
tight when closing.
No greater force than “hand-tight” is required because the twist grip is secured by
the locking pin.
NOTICE
As a check that the lock has been activated, when the lock (D) has been closed
correctly a rattling sound can be heard when turning the twist grip (C).

To avoid operating errors, the correct position of the grinding jar support is queried
using a magnet (MG) via extension (MV) and the corresponding sensor before
each start of the machine and during grinding.
5.6 Closing the grinding jar
Fig. 25: Closing the grinding jar
With this grinding device, a very large amount of energy enters the sample
material.
• Therefore ensure careful closing of the grinding jar.
• When closing the grinding jar, ensure the seal (DM) is firmly in place.
• Tighten the clamping screws (SP) of the locking device so they are hand-
tight.
• Check the tension on the 4 clamping screws (SP) after closing the grinding
jar support (G) with the twist grip (C).
• Please note that the grinding jar can heat up to over 100°C depending on
the grinding jar size, the ball filling, the speed and the grinding duration.
5.6.1 Grinding jar and lid identification
All grinding jars must be identified by the labelling area which shows the grinding
jar material.
Grinding jars, also those with glued ceramic inserts, can be cleaned with alcohol,
petrol or normal household washing-up liquid.
NOTICE
– Ceramic inserts can crack as a result of sudden temperature differences.
• Do not expose grinding jars with ceramic inserts to sudden temperature
differences.
5.6.2 Drying the grinding jars
The grinding jars may be dried in the drying cabinet at the following specified
temperature at any time after cleaning.

Strong vibrations and noises
Uneven loading
– In the event of uneven loading the device can generate especially strong
vibrations and noises.
• Always use 2 grinding jars.
• Switch the device off immediately in the event of strong vibrations
and noises and check the number and gross weight of the jars.
5.7 Ball sizes and speeds
With this grinding device, a very large amount of energy enters the sample
material. This high amount of energy also acts on the grinding jar and the grinding
balls.
– The following recommendations for the ball sizes used therefore apply
depending on the grinding jar size.
– Likewise note the recommended speeds depending on the grinding jar
material.
5.7.1 Recommended ball sizes
5.7.2 Recommended speeds
The following speed restrictions apply to balls larger than 10mm:

5.9 Wet grinding with highly flammable materials
Wet grinding using highly flammable materials is permissible in this device when
complying with specific precautionary measures.
When using highly flammable materials as grinding aid, such as hexane,
isopropanol, ethanol, petrol or similar, it is to be assumed that the inside of the
grinding jars should be classed as Zone 0 – constantly present explosive mix.
Therefore it is necessary to prevent potentially explosive vapours during the
grinding process - and in particular also from the heating which takes place - from
escaping from the clamped grinding jars and from entering areas in which the
requisite ignition energy is present.
We therefore urgently recommend that the operating company (employer) using
the device assesses the dangers that exist before using corresponding solvents,
taking local conditions into account, as part of a coherent explosion protection
37
Operating the machine
concept. Where necessary, supplementary organisational measures should be
recorded in writing in an explosion protection document.
This procedure is regulated in the EU under Articles 118 and 118a of Directive
89/391/EEC.
Please observe comparable provisions in other countries outside the EU.
The following requirements should be assumed here with respect to the device.
• It is necessary to consider the durability of the O-rings (FPM Viton) when
selecting the solvent and the durability of the adhesive used when using
ceramic material inserts.
• Tighten the clamping screws of the locking device so they are hand-tight.
• Please note that the grinding jars can heat up considerably depending on the
grinding jar size, the ball filling, the speed and the grinding duration.
• Check that the lock is firmly in place before removing the grinding jars.

6.2 Functional principle (resistive) of the touchscreen
With this resistive touchscreen two electrically conductive layers are connected in
places as a result of pressure in order to determine the position of the pressure
point.
For this reason the operation takes place exclusively using single touch entries.
The advantage of this is that you can also operate the touchscreen when wearing
gloves or using a stylus.
6.3 Operating modes and navigation
The device can be operated entirely using the touchscreen.
The operating software can be divided into three operating modes:
– Manual
– Program
– Sequences

Please observe the respective statutory requirements with respect to disposal.
Information on disposal of electrical and electronic machines in the European
Community.
Within the European Community the disposal of electrically operated devices is
regulated by national provisions that are based on the EU Directive 2002/96/EC on
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
Accordingly, all machines supplied after 13.08.2005 in the business-to-business
area to which this product is classified, may no longer be disposed of with
municipal or household waste. To document this they have the following label:
