DANGER!
Explosion hazard!
– When grinding oxidizable substances, e.g. metals or
coal, there is a risk of spontaneous combustion (dust
explosion) if the share of fine particles exceeds a cer-
tain percentage. When grinding these kinds of sub-
stances, special safety measures must be taken and the
work must be supervised from a specialist.
– The PULVERISETTE 2 is not explosion protected and is
not designed to grind explosive materials.
