The equipment may only be opened by VWR authorised service specialists.
The equipment may not be operated in areas where there is a danger of explosion.
The VWR Homogeniser S drive may only be operated using the VWR Homogeniser

VWR Homogeniser dispersion attachments may not be operated dry – the lower
sleeve bearing is cooled and lubricated by the medium being processed. Running dry
will destroy the sleeve bearing.
Dispersion attachments may only be changed with the power source disconnected.
Ensure that the venting will never be covered by dust or any other objects. The
efficiency of the motor will decrease.
Ensure that dispersion attachments are thoroughly cleaned after every use.
In the event that hazardous chemicals or materials that endanger health can
influence the surroundings or use of the equipment, appropriate countermeasures
must be taken.
Ensure that before starting up, no foreign objects are in the product.
When the power supply is connected, never bring hands or tools within the vicinity of
the coupling of the coupled dispersion attachment. Danger of injury by the rotating
shaft and rotor.
During operation, the coupling bolt may not be actuated; otherwise, the attachment
may fall from the coupling.
After longer use (15 min) the coupling could get very hot (over 40°C)
Never turn your VWR Homogeniser S upside down, if a dispersing unit with remains
of fluid is clutched in. The fluid may damage the bearing of the motor.
In the event of any power cut, the equipment must be switched off; otherwise, it may
start again without proper supervision.
The stator saw teeth present a danger of injury, as they are very sharp.
