Important Safety Warnings
Before moving on, there are several important safety notices that you should always keep in
mind when using the Agilent 8697.
When handling/using chemicals for preparation or use within the headspace sampler, all
WAR N IN G
applicable local and national laboratory safety practices must be followed. This would
include, but is not limited to, correct use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), correct use
of storage vials, using vent hoods, and correct handling of chemicals, as defined in the
laboratory's internal safety analysis and standard operating procedures. Failure to adhere to
laboratory safety practices could lead to injury or death.
Many internal parts of the headspace sampler carry
dangerous voltages
If the headspace sampler is connected to a power source, even if the power switch is set to
standby, potentially dangerous voltages exist on:
•
With the power switch on, potentially dangerous voltages also exist on:
•
•
•
All these parts are shielded by covers. With the covers in place, it is difficult to accidentally

make contact with dangerous voltages. Unless specifically instructed to, never remove a
cover unless the instrument is unplugged.
If the power cord insulation is frayed or worn, the cord must be replaced. Contact your Agilent
WAR N IN G
service representative.
