• Ensure that parts of the body, hair or items of clothing cannot
be trapped by the motion parts.
• Never touch moving parts.
Caution! The shaker still runs after the cover has been
opened. Wait for it to stop running.
(Risk of being crushed, shocked or cut, see figure illustrating
danger points).
• Should vessels break during operation or the media be spilt, inter-
rupt the shaking process immediately, remove any vessel residue
and clean the appliance.
Danger of being burnt! Exercise caution when touching
housing components and attachments. They may become
hot. Watch for residual heat after appliance has been swit-
ched off.
• Pay attention to the risk of
- flammable materials
- flammable media with low boiling temperatures
- level of medium which is too high
- biological and microbiological materials
• All accessories and vessels in place for the shaking process
must be firmly secured.
• Shaking vessels which are not properly secured could get
damaged or be projected out, thus causing injury. It is essenti-
18
- glass breakage
al to regularly check that the vessels to be shaken and the
attachments are firmly secured, especially before using the
appliance again.
• If you notice that the device is not running smoothly, the
speed must always be reduced until no more uneveness
occurs in the operation.
• Because of improper loading and the position of the center of
gravity, dynamic forces may arise during the agitation process
that cause the shaker to move about on the table.
For restrictions of load capacity and material weight during
high shaking frequencies, please see the description in the
"Attachments" section.
• Additional hazards to the user may occur if inflammable mate-
rials are used during the shaking operation.
• Furthermore, the shaking unit may only be used to stir those
materials or material mixtures that the user knows will not
react dangerously to the extra energy produced by the stirring.
This also applies to extra energy by means of solar radiation
during the shaking procedure.
• The shaker may not been used in explosive atmospheres, for
mixing dangerous substances or under water.
• When using an external temperature sensor, it must always be
in the medium. Immerse the external temperature sensor at
least 20mm into the medium.
• The safety of the user cannot be guaranteed if the appliance is
operated with accessories that are not supplied or recommen-
ded by the manufacturer or if the appliance is operated impro-
perly, contrary to the manufacturer's specifications.
• Caution! Never process and heat up any media that has a
flash point higher than the adjusted safe temperature limit that
has been set.
The safe temperature limit must always be set to at least 25 °C
lower than the fire point of the media used.
• When servicing, the wiring selected by IKA must be set up
again!
• Avoid allowing objects to push or strike the agitation table.
• Keep a minimum distance of 100mm from the appliance on all
sides.
