Safety Reminder

Common safety precautions

Carefully read the following safety precautions for a thorough understanding.

 Follow the instructions and procedures described in this manual to operate this centrifuge safely.
 Carefully read all safety messages in this manual and the safety instructions on the instrument.
 Safety messages are labeled as indicated below. They are in combination with signal words of

“WARNING” and “CAUTION” with the safety alert symbol to call your attention to items or
operations that could be dangerous to you or other persons using this instrument. The definitions of
signal words are as follows:

WARNING：Personal Danger

Warning notes indicate any condition or practice, which if not strictly observed, could result in personal
injury or possible death.

CAUTION：Possible damage to instrument

Caution notes indicate any condition or practice, which if not strictly observed or remedied, could result in
damage or destruction of the instrument.

NOTE：Notes indicate an area or subject of special merit, emphasizing either the product‟s capability or
common errors in operation or maintenance.

 Do not operate this centrifuge in any manner not described in this User manual. When in doubt or have

any troubles with this centrifuge, ASK FOR HELP.

 The precautions described in this User manual are carefully developed in an attempt to cover all the

possible risks. However, it is also important that you are alert for unexpected incidents. Be carefully
operating this centrifuge.

WARNING：

 This centrifuge is not explosion-proof. Never use explosive or flammable samples.
 Do not install the centrifuge in or near places where inflammable gases are generated or chemicals are

stored.

 Do not place dangerous material within 30cm around the centrifuge.

 Make sure to prepare necessary safety measures before using samples that are toxic, radioactive or

contaminated with pathogenic micro-organisms at your own responsibility.

 If the instrument, rotor and/or accessories that has been contaminated by solutions with toxic, radioactive

or pathogenic materials, clean it according to the decontamination procedure that you are specified.

 If you require services at site, please sterilize and decontaminate it in advance, and then notice the service

center involved in the details of the particular materials.

 Do not handle the power cord or turn on or off the POWER switch with wet hands to void electrical

shocks.

 For safety purposes, do not enter within 30cm around this centrifuge while it is in operation.
 While the rotor is rotating, never forcedly release the door lock.
 Unauthorized repairs, disassembly, and other services to the centrifuge except by our service center are

strictly prohibited.

CAUTION

 This centrifuge must be located on one firm and level table.
 Make sure the centrifuge is horizontal before running.
 Make sure the angle between the door and cover is greater than 70 degrees when open the door.
 Be careful not put your fingers or hands between the door and cover when the door off.
 Do not move or relocate this centrifuge while it is running.
 If fluid spills in the rotor chamber, please promptly clean and dry with a dry cloth to avoid sample

contamination.

 Ensure to remove any objects and fragments of the tubes dropped inside the rotor chamber before running

this centrifuge.

 Cautions on rotors
(1) Always check for corrosion and damages on the rotor surface before using it. Do not use the rotor if an
abnormality is found.
(2) Do not set the centrifuge speed beyond the allowable minimum speed of the rotor kits (rotor or adapters).
Make sure to run it below the allowable minimum speed.
(3) Do not exceed the allowable imbalance.
(4) Use the rotor and tubes within their actual capacities.
(5) If the rotor is attached with a lid, ensure it is tightened before operation.
 If any abnormal condition occurs during operation, please stop it immediately and contact our service

center. Notify the service center is a warning code if displayed.

 Vibrations are likely to damage the centrifuge, contact our service center if abnormality observed.

NOTE: This centrifuge has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the centrifuge is operated in a commercial environment. The centrifuge generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the user
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of centrifuge in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference.
