Safety instructions
•
Risk of injury! The plungers and cylinders of the
pressure balance are made of glass
.
If the glass breaks
the shards can cause cuts
.
Glass components should
be checked to make sure they are in a safe condition
before performing any experiment
.
The plastic buff-
ers inside the two glass syringes prevent the plungers
colliding heavily with the glass and may not be re-
moved
.
•
The tray 1 on the large plunger may not be loaded
with more than 500 g and that of the smaller cylinder
can take a maximum of 200 g
.
•
Risk of flying components! The small plunger 9 is
fastened by a safety cord bl to prevent it flying out
of the cylinder
.
You should check to see that the safety
cord is tightly fastened
.
•
Appropriate usage: The pressure balance should only
be used for demonstration or student experiments
that are supervised by a teacher
.
