Important Safeguards
When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions are
necessary to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury.

Only use the instrument for its intended purpose.

Ensure that the correct electric voltage of the instrument and the power supply

correspond correctly.

Do not use this instrument in a hazardous area or manner. When handling

hazardous chemicals use appropriate hand and eye protection.

Do not immerse electrical equipment in water.

The drive must not be used in highly combustible areas and operated with easy
inflammable liquids. It is recommended to run the units in fume hoods during
operation.

To avoid electrical shock, do not open housing. Remove cord from the power

source when it is being checked or serviced. This instrument should only be

opened by qualified service personnel only.
The D-160 is designed for continues operation, however normally the
ultimate fineness will be reached within a few minutes. Any further
dispersing will only introduce unnecessary heat into the medium.

The D-160 must never run without liquid when the shaft is attached– the lower
slide bearing is cooled and lubricated by the liquid phase of the treated medium.
Any dry running will destroy the slide bearing!!

Ensure that the dispersing shafts are cleaned properly after every use.
