1.5.3 Tubing and capillary connections
Caution
Leaks in tubing and capillary connections are a safety risk. Tighten all
connections well by hand. Avoid applying excessive force to tubing con-
nections. Damaged tubing ends lead to leakage. Appropriate tools can
be used to loosen connections.
Check the connections regularly for leakage. If the instrument is used
mainly in unattended operation, then weekly inspections are mandatory.
1.5.4 Personnel safety
Warning
Wear protective goggles and working clothes suitable for laboratory work
while operating the 786 Swing Head. It is also advisable to wear gloves
when caustic liquids are used or in situations where glass vessels could
break.
Warning
Always install the safety shield supplied with the equipment before using
the instrument for the first time. Pre-installed safety shields are not
allowed to be removed.
The 786 Swing Head may not be operated without a safety shield!
Warning
Personnel are not permitted to reach into the working area of the instru-
ment while operations are running!
A considerable risk of injury exists for the user.
Warning
In the event of a possible blockage of a drive, the mains plug must be
pulled out of the socket immediately. Do not attempt to free jammed
sample vessels or other parts while the device is switched on. Blockages
can only be cleared when the instrument is in a voltage-free status; this
action generally involves a considerable risk of injury.
