Inflammation or Injury Due to Toxic or Corrosive Solvent

When using a toxic or corrosive solvent, be careful not to incur a physical inflammation or injury.
For details of the properties of each solvent and how to handle it, refer to the relevant Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDS). Be sure to handle each solvent properly.
a. Wear proper protective clothes (e.g., safety goggles) so that a solvent will not come
into direct contact with the skin.
b. Ventilate the laboratory room adequately to prevent accidental inhalation of harmful
solvent vapor.

Touching Hot Part Could Result in Burns

The xenon lamp and its housing become very hot during operation and remain hot for a while after
operation.
Touching the hot xenon lamp or its housing could result in severe burns. Before proceeding to lamp
replacement, turn off the power switch, unplug the power cord and then wait for at least one hour
until the lamp and its housing cool down sufficiently. (See Chapter 6, Maintenance)

Direct Viewing of Xenon Lamp Could Cause Eye Damage

The xenon lamp radiates intense ultraviolet light when it is on. If you
look at the illuminating xenon lamp during coarse adjustment of its
position, your eyes could be damaged.
WARNING
Do not look at the xenon lamp directly when it is lit. Be sure to wear
tinted safety glasses to prevent possible eye damage.
