Risk of electric shock when contacting live parts. Even when the system is
switched off, some components, for example, capacitors, can be live as
they can still be electrically charged. Death or serious injury can result. To
avoid this hazard:
• Connect the system only to a socket with a ground contact (earth).
• Use only correctly rated extension cables with sufficient power capacity
and a protective conductor and ground contact.
• Never disconnect the ground contacts from the line.
• Never interrupt the protective conductor inside or outside the system.
• Never remove protective guards or fused components.
• Ensure that all surfaces, including the floor, are dry when using the
system.
• Make sure that the power switch of the system is easily accessible.
• If the slide stainer needs to be opened before maintenance, repair or
replacement work, switch off the slide stainer and disconnect it from all
voltage sources as described in the relevant procedure.
Risk of short-circuit by spilled liquids that can come into contact with live
parts. Damage to the system can result. To avoid this hazard:
• Never pour liquids or place containers with liquid on top of the system.
• Disconnect the main plug immediately if liquid is spilled in the system.
Risk of malfunctions in nearby electrical devices due to radio interference.
The slide stainer complies with the emission and immunity requirements
described in IEC 61326-2-6. The slide stainer has been designed and
tested to CISPR 11 Class A. In a domestic environment, it can cause radio
interference. To avoid this hazard:
• Assess the electromagnetic environment prior to operating the slide
stainer.
• Use the cables supplied.
Risk of malfunctions of the slide stainer due to radio interference by other
electrical devices. To avoid this hazard:
• Do not operate strong electromagnetic transmitters, for example, mobile
phones, walkie-talkies, door openers, or elevators, in the vicinity of the
slide stainer.
Risk of serious injury by moving parts. To avoid this hazard:
• Never open or remove the covers of the system during operation.
• Never bypass or remove safety devices, for example, cover switches.
• Keep clear of moving parts when the system is in operation. Long hair,
necklaces, bracelets and similar objects can get caught in moving parts.
