Safety instructions – summarised, part 1
Safety instructions
We exclude any claims for damages of any kind for injury to persons and damage to equipment arising from non-observance
of the following safety instructions.
Use according to the intended purpose
Do not make any alterations to the machine and use only spare parts and accessories approved by Retsch. Otherwise the
Declaration of Conformity to the European directives declared by Retsch will lose its validity.
Furthermore this will lead to loss of any kind of guarantee claims.
Milling cup nominal volume
The filling quantity of the milling sets must be more than1/3 of the nominal volume.
The rings used could otherwise become damaged.
Packing
Please keep the packing material for the duration of the guarantee period, since if you have a complaint and the equipment
is returned in inadequate packing your guarantee claim is at risk.
Transport
The RS200 must not be knocked, shaken or thrown during transport. Otherwise the electronic and mechanical components
can be damaged.
Temperature variations
If the RS200 is subjected to high temperature variations (e.g. during air transport) it must be protected against condensed
water. Otherwise there may be damage to the electronic components.
Supplied items
If the supplied items are incomplete and/or there is transport damage you must inform the transporter and Retsch GmbH
immediately (within 24 hrs). Later complaints may possibly be no longer considered.
Ambient temperature
If the temperature drops below or exceeds ambient temperature the electrical and mechanical components can become
damaged and performance data can change to an unknown extent.
Atmospheric humidity
At high atmospheric humidity the electrical and mechanical components can become damaged and performance data can
change to an unknown extent.
Electrical connection
If the values on the type plate are not observed the electrical and mechanical components can become damaged.
Electrical connection should be carried out only by a qualified electrician. Danger through current surge.
Serial interface
The serial interface cables must not be longer than 2.5 m.
If the cables are longer this can result in disturbances during transmission of data.
Connecting the power supply
Never start the RS200 without the clamped milling set.
Mechanical components can become damaged through high unbalance.
If the values on the type plate are not observed the electrical and mechanical components can become damaged.
Emergency unlocking
The emergency unlocking device must never be operated when the machine is running – only when the machine is at a
standstill and is disconnected from the mains supply.
Danger of injury through unbraked after-running of the drive.
Insertion and clamping of the milling set of the RS200
Never start the RS200 without the clamped milling set.
Mechanical components can become damaged through high unbalance.
Preparation of the milling process
Please take necessary measures, depending on the dangerous nature of your milling material, in order to avoid danger to
persons.
When removing and opening hot milling cups it is essential to wear protective gloves.
Danger of burning the hands.
Rub the rubber gasket in the clamping plate from time to time with talcum powder and do not leave the milling set in the
RS200 after milling.
Strongly heated milling sets can stick together with the rubber of the clamping plate and are very difficult to remove.
The filling quantity of the milling set must not exceed 1/3 of the nominal volume.
The rings used could otherwise become damaged.
