    EN 61010-2-020. • The HERMLE Z 216 MK, is a non "explosion-proof" and must not be operated in explosion- endangered areas or locations. Centrifugation of flammable, explosive, radioactive, or such substances, which chemically react with high energy, is strictly prohibited. If used in such environment, this is at the users own expense.
  • Page 10: Following Rules Must Strictly Be Adhered To

    Do not run the centrifuge, if mechanical or electrical assembly groups have been tampered with, by unauthorized personnel. • Do not use accessories such as rotors and buckets, that are not approved by HERMLE Labortechnik GmbH, except commercially available centrifuge tubes, made of glass or plastic.
