Installation Ambient conditions WARNING Mains voltage! − The device may only be operated indoors. − The surrounding air may not carry any electrically conduc- tive dust. − Maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31°C, linearly decreasing down to 50% relative humidity at 40°C.
Initial start-up Initial start-up Perform initial start-up only after all work as described in ⮫ Chapter 4 ‘Installa- tion’ on page 15 has been carried out. Switching on NOTICE Before switching the device on make sure that a grinding bowl or the transport wood is clamped into the grinding bowl holder.
Using the device Using the device Choice of grinding bowls and grinding balls CAUTION If the grinding elements used are not genuine accessories, we assume no guarantee and exclude all liability for damage to the device or for personal injury. To prevent excessive wear caused by abrasion, the hardness and density (specific weight) of the grinding bowl and grinding balls used must be greater than that of the material used.
Using the device 6.1.2 Number of balls per grinding bowl (independent of the material quantity) A higher number of balls will reduce the grinding duration and the grinding results will be within a smaller grain size range. Ball diameter Grinding bowl 2 (single use) (mm) volume (ml)
Using the device Do not fail to comply with the following sequence: Place the grinding balls in the empty bowl. Pour grinding stock onto the balls and possibly add liquid for wet grinding. All sealing surfaces must be absolutely clean to guarantee impermeability, particularly during wet grinding.
Using the device PTFE (Teflon): The seal is created by grinding the surfaces of the lid and the bowl to lie perfectly flush. In addition, they are also screwed together. These bowls cannot be used for grinding hard sample materials. They are used to solubilise soft sample materials or mix and homogenise sample materials.
Using the device Reduced percentage of fine material! Many small balls increase the percentage of fine material during extended grinding time. 6.3.4 Weight of the balls (type of material) A higher mass (specific weight) of the grinding balls accelerates grinding. (see Chapter 6.1 ‘Choice of grinding bowls and grinding balls’...
Using the device Clamping the grinding bowls CAUTION Make sure the main switch is switched off when working on the clamping device so that the device is not inadvertently switched on! Before clamping, check the rubber disk (6) in the base of the grinding bowl holder for any damage.
Using the device 6.8.2 Setting the running time The running time is set using the +/- buttons (timer). In the factory set mode, the two right-hand numbers show the minutes and the left‐hand number the hours. 9 hours 59 minutes is the maximum time which can be set. For grinding operations that are accurate to the second use the minutes/seconds timer (see Chapter 4.6 ‘Changing the timer’...
