NOTES ON INSTRUMENT SAFETY
Particular attention must be paid to the following warnings:
DANGER
Risk of electric shock
−
The power plug is equipped with an protective earth conductor, therefore, it has to be
used with an appropriately equipped socket.
−
The protective capacity must not be rendered ineffective by the use of extension cables
with no earth conductor.
−
In case of error there is a risk of contact with life-threatening mains voltage.
DANGER
Risk of damage to the device from penetrating moisture
−
Devices with a mains connection and their accessories (particularly external table power
pack) must not come into contact with moisture or liquids.
−
If the housing of devices or accessories that conduct mains voltage (e.g. table power pack)
is damaged, these must be permanently taken out of service and disconnected from the
mains.
−
Non-compliance in both cases results in exposure to life-threatening mains voltage.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock
−
Always switch off the device and pull out the power plug before cleaning or opening the
device.
−
Disconnect the power plug before changing device fuses. Failure to do so may result in
contact with life-threatening mains voltage.
WARNING
Risk of personal injury
If immersion media are being used, please note the following:
−
The instructions on the use of the immersion medium in the respective safety data sheets
must be strictly adhered to.
−
When working with immersion media, contact with certain substances may cause skin
irritations or symptoms of poisoning.
−
In case of contact with the eyes, rinse the eye immediately with plenty of water for at least
five minutes. If irritation persists, consult a physician.
