Eppendorf FemtoJet express - Manual (Page 5)

53
• Observe operating instructions!
• The device is only designed for use in the research lab!
• The FemtoJet express is a lab device. It may only be operated by appropriately qualified lab
personnel.
• Only use the device for microinjection under observance of all relevant legal regulations!
• Before plugging in the device, please compare your voltage requirements with the
specifications on the identification plate!
• The unit may not be connected to a socket that is not grounded! Use the appropriate mains
cable.
• Electrical connections may be effected only when the device is switched off!
• The unit may be opened only by authorized service personnel!
Potentially lethal voltage inside the unit.
• Do not use the unit if damaged. This applies in particular when the mains cable is damaged.
• The connection of the pressure tube to the high-pressure flasks, compressors or building
pressure systems is not part of these operating instructions! The connection may only be
carried out by trained personnel or tradesmen, taking into account the local regulations.
• The device may only be operated with dry, non-oiled, pressurized air or purified nitrogen
gas with 4000 hPa to a maximum of 8000 hPa (4 bar – 8 bar, 58 PSI – 116 PSI)!
Other gases are not permitted!
• Loud hissing may occur when coupling or uncoupling the pressure tube! Don't be alarmed!
When coupling, hold the ears at an adequate distance from the coupling!
• The pressure tube of the external pressure supply is not permanently UV light resistant.
When using, for example, under a sterile bench with UV sterilization, this should be taken
into account, and the pressure tube should, where necessary, be removed prior to UV
sterilization.
• This pressure tube may not be bent. The smallest bending radius is 50 mm.
• Hold the pressure tube tightly when uncoupling! The brief pressure surge when uncoupling
can cause the pressure tube to fly off! Following the uncoupling, the pressure tube remains
under pressure when the pressure is not released using the Standby function!
• If the unit is not used in accordance with purpose for which it is intended, its protective
function may be impaired.
• Caution!
Take care when mounting glass capillaries or tools!
Mounting must always take place without the use of pressure!
Capillaries which have been mounted incorrectly may break loose under pressure.
Never point mounted capillaries at persons.
• Caution!
Take care when using glass capillaries! During mounting or when placed upon a
hard surface, the glass capillaries may break and glass splinters may cause injury.
It is therefore essential to wear eye protection!
