be processed, otherwise there is a risk of:
- splashing of liquids
- projectile parts
- body parts, hair, clothing and jewelry getting caught.
Beware of the risk of:
DANGER
- flammable materials
- glass breakage as a result of mechanical shaking power.
Reduce the speed if:
DANGER
- the medium splashes out of the vessel because the speed is too high
- the instrument is not running smoothly
- the instrument begins to move around because of dynamic forces
- an error occurs.
Do not touch rotating parts during operation!
DANGER
• There may be electrostatic activity between the medium and the output shaft which could cause a direct danger.
• After an interruption in the power supply or a mechanical interruption during a stirring process, the unit does not restart auto-
matically.
• It is important to note that the surfaces of the motor (cooling fins) and certain parts of the bearing may get very hot
during operation.
• Never cover the ventilation slots or cooling fins on the motor or on the instrument.
• Avoid knocking and impacting on the lower end of the shaft and the chuck gear teeth. Even minor, invisible damage can
lead to imbalance and uneven shaft action.
• Ensure that the stand does not start to move.
• Imbalance of the output shaft, the chuck and in particular the stirring tools can lead to uncontrolled resonant vibrational be-
havior of the instrument and the whole assembly. Glass apparatus and stirrer containers can be damaged or shattered by this.
It can cause injury to the operator, also can damage the rotating stirring tool. In this case exchange the stirring tool for one
without imbalance or remedy the cause of the imbalance.
If there is still imbalance, return it to the dealer or the manufacturer along with a description of the fault.
• If the instrument is operated too long in overload or if the ambient temperature is too high, the instrument switches off
permanently.
• The machine must only be opened by trained specialists, even during repair. The instrument must be unplugged from the
power supply before opening. Live parts inside the instrument may still be live for some time after unplugging from the
power supply.
Covering or parts that are capable of being removed from the unit without accessory equipment have to

CAUTION
continue to run or is shut down depending on the value settings for exceeding the time and safety speed.
If the device is set so that it continues to run when the battery of the Wireless Controller (WiCo) is fully discharged, the only
means of switching the station off are the "Safe Stop" and the off switch!
Please note the following safety instructions for the battery pack RB 1 (rechargeable battery):
DANGER
• Keep the battery pack out of reach of children at all times.
• Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place.
• Never throw the battery pack into a fire. Keep it away from direct sunlight and temperatures above 60 °C. High tempera-
tures will damage the battery pack and render it unusable. Temperatures above 100 °C may cause it to explode.
• Never throw the battery pack into water or expose it to moisture. Water may lead to a short-circuit, causing the battery
pack to explode.
