When adjusting the speed, pay careful attention to the contai-
ners fastened onto the agitation table to prevent the medium to
be shaken from possibly splashing out. If the target value of the
speed is changed too rapidly, the machine will turn itself off auto-
matically. Please observe the relevant safety information and
guidlines as well as work protection and accident prevention
requirements for use in the laboratory. Avoid allowing objects to
push or strike the agitation table. Even small undetectable dama-
ge may result in serious damage to the motor bearing. Careful
handling will guarantee safe work and a long service life of the
machine.
If you notice that the device is not running smoothly, the speed
must always be reduced until no more unevenness occurs in the
operation. Please make certain that individual agitation contai-

Contens
ners are placed in the middle of the agitation table and that if
several containers are placed on the agitation table together, they
are evenly distributed and well secured.
Because of improper loading and the position of the center of
gravity, dynamic forces may arise during the agitation process
that cause the shaker to move about on the table. In this case,
reduce the speed immediately.
Additional risk may be present for the user if flammable materi-
als are used during the agitation process or if mechanical agitati-
on energy is transferred to glass equipment that is being used,
causing it to break.
The holder and attachment used for the agitation process must
be fastened securely on the agitation table. Tighten all three
clamping screws are firmly in place from time to time, since they
could come loose during operation. Also make certain that the
agitation vessels used during the agitation process are securely
in place on their respective agitation attachment.
Before placing the device in service, please ensure that the turn
dial for adjusting the speed is against the left stop, since the devi-
ce will begin to run at the last speed that was set.
After an interruption in the power supply during an agitation pro-
cedure, the device will start running again by itself.
Only a specialist may open the device.
ATTENTION! Covers or parts that can be removed
from the device must be put in place on the device in
order tro ensure safe operation.

rous atmospheres, for mixing dangerous substances or for ope-
ration under water.
The instrument may not be operated in rooms with explosion
