BUCHI Mixer B-400 2 Safety
Safety measures
Safety elements
The Mixer can only be operated with the safety door closed.
Opening the door while the Mixer is in operation will cause it to
stop. When this happens, the rotating cutter is quickly
decelerated.
For the Mixer to function, the rocker button must be kept
pressed.
If the resistance of the material in the beaker causes the speed
to drop sharply, the beaker and its contents are moved away
from the cutter to prevent possible breakage. Once the required
speed is reached again, the beaker plus contents are moved
back to the cutter.
The power switch also acts as a motor overload or cut-out.
Please read the description in Section 4, Putting into operation.
The guard door must always be closed to operate the Mixer.
After the door latches into position, turn the safety catch fully
clockwise until it stops.
There is a risk of injury when replacing and handling the sharp
cutter. To reduce the risk, you should wear suitable
gloves
and use the special tool.
Depending on the sample material in question it may be
necessary to wear additional personal safety items such as
goggles or a laboratory coat.
The customer shall be responsible for instructing personnel.
These instructions are to be considered a part of the Mixer and
should always be kept with it so that operating personnel can
consult them at any time. The instructions can be ordered in
other languages.
The customer shall notify the manufacturer immediately of any
concerns about safe operation.
Modifications are only permitted after consulting with the
manufacturer and obtaining written consent.
Regional and local laws and regulations should be
observed.
