Questions and answers
safety switch to be attended
For the SPEX CertiPrep 8000D MIXER/MILL, the following safety switch issues should be addressed:
1. Lid Open: The unit will not run if the lid is open. Ensure the lid is closed and latched properly.
2. Safety Interlock Switch: If the unit does not run even though the lid is closed and the timer counts down, the safety interlock switch may need adjustment.
3. Time-Delay Latch: This latch prevents the lid from opening during and immediately after operation. Wait for the audible click before opening the lid. Never force the lid open before the Time-Delay Latch unlocks.
