instructions may lead to injury.
Warning: Indicates a potential hazard that should be avoided.

Electrical Safety

Avoid contact with grounded surfaces.

A voltage converter is included for countries that use 220-240 VAC.
Do not use the Super FastPrep-2 in the rain or under wet conditions.
Do not misuse the cord.

Safety Equipment

aThe Super FastPrep-2 can be very loud so it is recommended to use ear
protection during operation.
aAlways use eye protection while operating the Super FastPrep-2.
For further safety information regarding the rotary tool, battery, and charging station
please see accompanying literature.

Operation Precautions

Operation of the Super FastPrep-2 with a plastic tube at full speed for more
than 10 seconds may cause the grinding matrices within the tube to overheat,
leading to sample degradation and/or tube failure. If grinding of a sample for
over 10 seconds is desired, lower speeds should be used and/or periodic stopping
and cooling of the tube should be performed.
When using metal or ceramic grinding matrices greater than 2mm in diameter,
do not operate at a speed greater than 25 (4,000 cycles per minute) or tube
failure may result.
Although the modular design of the Super FastPrep-2 allows it fit on many off-
the-shelf rotary tools from different manufacturers, using the Super FastPrep-2
with a rotary tool with an electric stop (stops immediately after switching it off) will
damage the Super FastPrep-2 and void the warranty. Use the Super FastPrep-2
only with the rotary tool supplied, which has been specifically modified to disable its
electric stop and coast to a stop when switched off.
