WARNING
Accessories:
› Protect the device and accessories from bumping and impacting.
› Check the device and accessories beforehand for damage each time when you use
them. Do not use damaged components.
› Safe operation is only guaranteed with the accessories described in the ”Accesso-
ries” section.
› Disconnect the power plug before attaching or changing any accessories.
Working with coolants:
CAUTION
CAUTION
NOTICE
› The device is designed for short term operation. The maximum operating time is
1 minutes. After that, it should be switched off for 10 minutes to cool down.
› Please note that wear debris from the device or rotating accessories can end up
in the medium to be processed. Please contact
IKA
should you have any ques-
tions in this respect.
› Please pay attention to avoiding hand injury when operate the device.
› Please ensure that there are no parts of the body between the casing parts that
move together.
› Because of a temperature and surface increase during the crushing process, a certain
overpressure may arise in the grinding chamber. Let the sample cool down and open
the grinding chamber carefully.
› Always open the chamber carefully after use, as the material in the chamber may
heat up due to transfer of energy during operation. Wear gloves if necessary or wait
for material to cool down.
› The device must be operated on flat surface and must not be moved during operation.
› Please make certain that the mill is not tilted when it is in operation and hold it
in place with both hands.
› Only process samples 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.
› Beware of the risk of flammable materials.
Working with the device:
DANGER
› Do not use the device in explosive atmospheres, it is not EX-protected.
› With substances capable of forming an explosive mixture, appropriate safety mea-
sures must be applied, e.g. working under a fume hood.
› To avoid body injury and property damage, observe the relevant safety and accident
prevention measures when processing hazardous materials.
› Please observe the relevant safety instructions and guidelines regarding dust
explosions.
› Please follow the relevant safety instructions and guidelines, and occupational
health and safety regulations for use in the laboratory. When working with the
mill, the user must wear his personal protective equipment. Defective or inappro-
priate protective equipment can expose the user to the risk of spurting substances.
› Ensure that pressure does not build up in the grinding chamber (particularly when
using coolants).
› When using liquid nitrogen, you must only screw on the grinding beaker and begin
the grinding process when the liquid nitrogen is completely vaporized.
› Always wear suitable protective equipment when embrittling the mill feed with cool-
ants (liquid nitrogen or dry ice), (see laboratory guidelines and accident prevention
regulations applicable to the laboratory).
› Device parts may still be extremely cold for some time after cooling with liquid nitro-
gen and should only be handled whilst wearing protective equipment.
