Safety instructions for starting the PM 200
The grinding bowl clamping fixture has proven its worth over many years as an easy-to-manage and
reliable appliance. A precondition here both for the operator’s safety and also to ensure that the
components have a long service life is that the grinding bowl must be clamped conscientiously.
Please bear in mind that the PM 100/200 is a grinder that inputs a very high level of energy into the
material being ground and the grinding bowl must therefore be clamped conscientiously.
To avoid operating errors, the correct grinding bowl clamping is queried each time before the
machine starts.
Personnel who are particularly well trained and very familiar with how the PM is operated may hide
this safety instruction permanently. However, we particularly advise against this if the operating
personnel vary!
The software for the PM 100/200 is set up in such a way that each time before the machine starts
up, when the starting button is activated, it is necessary to confirm in the following display that the
grinding bowl has been clamped.
The grinding process starts after this confirmation.
This safety instruction can be hidden in the “settings” menu.
Make sure the grinding bowl is clamped before you start the
machine.
The grinding bowl can be hurled out, risk of injury and
damage to property!
Our recommendation is that you do not hide the safety
instruction.
Only use “C” type grinding bowls.
This, in conjunction with the grinding bowl fixture, is a safety
component.
Unforeseen risks may arise if third-party or old grinding
bowls are used in the PM200.
Never allow threaded spindle 4 to lie loose in the grinding
bowl fixture without the grinding bowls clamped in.
Danger of being hurled out!
Only use grinding bowls of type "C" and only up to a nominal
volume of 125ml
The PM200 will otherwise be overloaded and
mechanical components could be damaged!
