3.1 Intended use
The refractometer is a measuring instrument for determining the refractive index of
transparent substances in liquid or in some cases also in the solid state. It is used
to observe the behaviour of light as it passes from a prism with known properties

Use of the refractometer for other purposes is contrary to its intended use and
may be hazardous. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damages caused by
improper use.

4. Basic safety information
4.1 Follow the instructions in the operating manual
4.2 Warning
▸ Do not let acids come into contact with skin or eyes. If acid comes into contact
with skin, flush with copious amounts of water. Shower if larger areas of skin are
affected.
▸ If acid comes into contact with eyes, keep the eyelid open and flush the eye with
running lukewarm water from the outer corner to the inner corner. Flush eyes for
at least 15 minutes. Then consult a doctor or ophthalmologist immetdiately.
▸ Thoroughly clean the refractometer after each use.
▸ The refractometer must not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high
mechanical stresses, strong direct sunlight or high humidity.
▸ This refractometer is not a toy. Keep out of reach of children.
▸ Make sure that you will not be hit by anything else while you are using the re-
fractometer, as this could cause serious eye injuries
