Page 6 The drain tube connected to the chamber is not durable with petroleums (kerosene, naphtha, gasoline, etc). When measuring these samples, ask Shimadzu for information. Every time when using the instrument, check the drain tube and drain tank and confirm there is no liquid leak from the drain tube.
Page 7 Precautions on Handling High Pressure Gas High pressure gas must be handled carefully observing the legal regulation. Not only to the following precautions, refer to regulations and laws regarding to handle the high pressure gas. Cautionary items in this manual should be read carefully. 1.
Page 8 7. Pressure regulator (1) Use approved pressure regulators and connectors. For details, contact your Shimadzu Representative. (2) When installing the pressure regulator to the cylinder, be sure to wipe the dust at the outlet of the cylinder. (3) Damaged or cracked screws for installing the pressure regulator may cause gas leakage. Do not install the pressure regulator forcibly, but replace with a new gas cylinder.
Page 9 Action in the Case of Fuel Gas Leakage WARNING When executing [Start Leak Check] in the "Initialize" dialog box or [Instrument]-[Gas Leak Check] in the menu bar, an automatic gas leak check is performed for about 11 minutes. If the instrument does not detect any fuel gas leakage, the following message is displayed on the screen after about 11 minutes, after which the flame can be ignited.
Page 10 If the deuterium (D2) lamp should be broken or its life is finished, dispose of the lamp separately from general garbage. When disposing of the deuterium (D2) lamp supplied from Shimadzu Co., select a method which will not influence the environmental pollution or human body, or ask a special disposal dealer.
Page 11 As a general rule, seven (7) years after the discontinuation of the product. Note, however, that the availability of units or parts not manufactured by Shimadzu shall be determined by the relevant manufacturers. If Shimadzu should receive a notice of the discontinuation of the units or parts, the necessary quantity for the above period is immediately calculated and secured.

Page 15 Emergency Action Take the following measures in case of emergency or when an abnormal condition is found in the atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Inspect the equipment before using it again and contact a service engineer if necessary. Emergency Action 1. Turn OFF the power switch of the atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Even if measurement is in progress, the burner flame can be extinguished by turning the power switch OFF.
Page 16 Since the AA-6650/6800 is equipped with the several safety systems that prevent a flashback, there is little possibility a flashback occurs. In case a flashback should occur, however, a service engineer from Shimadzu will perform the following inspection procedure. Never ignite the flame before the safety is confirmed as the result of the inspection.
Page 17 (5) Loosen the fixing screw <9> on the nebulizer retaining plate <8> and remove the nebulizer <10>. (6) Check that the mixer <12> in the chamber is not damaged. (7) Check that the O-ring <13> in the nebulizer is not cracked or deteriorated then mount the nebulizer back to the chamber.
Page 18 General Precautions In order to use the atomic absorption spectrophotometer safely, be sure to observe the following cautions. If not observed, the safety of this equipment may be compromised. WARNING (1) When pressing the ignition button (at igniting), never put your face or hands in the burner compartment (combustion chamber).
Page 19 CAUTION (1) Do not use the flame for any purpose other than analysis. (2) Do not hold any substance over the flame. (3) Do not remove the thermal shield plate when using the atomic absorption spectrophotometer in flame method. If the thermal shield plate is removed, heat of flame is introduced to the instrument inside and measurement may be unreliable.

Page 73: Burner
3.1 AA-6800/6650 Configurations 3.1.5 Burner The AA-6800/6650 has a burner head with a 10 cm length slot (standard accessory) mounted in the premixing atomizer chamber. This burner head can be used with air-acetylene flames and air (argon)-hydrogen flames. Please specially install a high-temperature head (optional accessory) when using a nitrous oxide-acetylene flame.
Page 74: Gas Control Panel
Chapter 3 Instrument Constructions NOTE When measuring samples containing high-concentration coexistent material like salts or when measuring samples with a nitrous-oxide flame, the mixer reduces the signal noises. Therefore, the mixer is usually mounted in the chamber. When measuring samples with low-concentration coexistent material with air- acetylene flame, however, removing the mixer may improve the sensitivity.

During this time, no flame can be ignited. On the [Initialize] dialog box, press the EXTINGUISH button at the time of [Start Leak Check].
Page 141 4.8 Igniting and Extinguishing the Flame (4) Press two IGNITE buttons at the same time. A pilot flame is ignited first, then the burner head is flamed. Keep pressing the IGNITE buttons until the flame is completely ignited. If no flame is ignited even if the buttons are pressed for three seconds or more, stop igniting operation once, and retry after ten seconds or more.

Chapter 4 Basic Operation NOTE 7. If the flame should not be extinguished even by pressing the EXTINGUISH button, do not panic and take action of following operation. a. Turn off the main unit POWER switch (on the left side of the main unit). This operation mechanically closes the solenoid valve of the gas controller, shutting off the gas supply safely.
Page 143 4.8 Igniting and Extinguishing the Flame CAUTION 1. Always use high temperature burner head when using a nitrous oxide-acetylene flame. Using the standard burner head with this gas causes a danger of flashback. 2. When the acetylene flow rate is high, carbon is deposited around the burner slot. When this occurs, use the provided large screwdriver to scrap off the carbon deposit while taking care about the following points.

Page 270: Graphite Tube Type Selection In Furnace Method
The platform tube refers to a graphite tube in which a plate with a basin for containing the sample (platform) is mounted. The Shimadzu platform tube has a platform made of 100 % pyrolitic carbon.
Page 271: When Using A Pyrolitic Coating Graphite Tube
7.3 Graphite Tube Type Selection in Furnace Method 7.3.2 When Using a Pyrolitic Coating Graphite Tube Generally, the pyro-coated graphite tube is effective for elements which are easily combined with carbon or the major component of graphite tube (carbide is easily formed). Ni, Ca, Ti, Si, V and Mo are the typical elements. In the high density tube, a sample easily permeates into the graphite, resulting in a larger contact area between the element and carbon.
