Explication Of Warning Symbols; Safety Instructions - IKA STARVISC 200-2.5 control Manual

Indicates an (extremly) hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, will result in death, serious injury.
DANGER
Indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, can result in death, serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, can result in injury.
CAUTION
Indicates practices which, if not avoided, can result in equipment damage.
NOTICE
Pay attention to the magnetic field affection.
NOTICE
• Read the operating instructions in full before starting up
and follow the safety instructions.
• Keep the operating instructions in a place where it can be ac-
cessed by everyone.
• Ensure that only trained staff work with the device.
• Follow the safety instructions, guidelines, occupational health
and safety and accident prevention regulations.
• Because the options for combining products, tools, stirring ves-
sel, experiment and medium are nearly endless, user safety can-
not be ensured simply with design requirements on the part of
the product. For this reason, it may become necessary for users
to take other precautionary safety measures. For example, glass
device or other stirring vessels that are sensitive to mechanical
stress can be damaged or shattered by an imbalance, increasing
the speed too quickly or too little distance between the stirring
element and the stirring vessel. Users can suffer serious injury
from glass breakage or from the freely rotating stirring element.
• Uncontrolled reactions can be triggered by mixing the heated
material insufficiently or by the energy generated by selecting a
speed that is too high. In case of these and other increased op-
erational hazards, users must take additional appropriate safety
precautions (e.g. shatter protection). In any case, when using
critical or hazardous materials in your processes, IKA recom-
mends to use additional appropriate measures to ensure safety
in the experiment. For example, users can implement measures
that inhibit fire or explosions or comprehensive monitoring
equipment. Furthermore, users must make sure that the OFF
switch of the IKA product can be accessed immediately, directly
and without risk at any time.
If mains switch cannot ensure this access at all
CAUTION
times, an additional EMERGENCY STOP switch
that can be easily accessed must be installed in the work area.
• Only process media that will not react dangerously to the extra
energy produced through processing. This also applies to any ex-
tra energy produced in other ways, e.g. through light irradiation.
• Do not use the device in hazardous areas, it is not EX-proof. In the
case of substances which can form an ignitable mixture, appro-
priate protective measures, such as working under a fume hood,
must be taken. In order to avoid injury to persons and damage
to property, please observe the relevant protective and accident
prevention measures when processing hazardous substances.
• Process pathogenic materials only in closed vessels under a suit-
able fume hood. Please contact IKA application support if you
have any question.
