Safety Precaution Sheet
To be read carefully
before use
1. The operator(s) should be fully instructed in the use of the machine,
any connected equipment and accessories and the applied
consumables according to the relevant Instruction Manuals.
2. The machine must be placed on a safe and stable table with an
adequate working height. All functions on the machine and any
connected equipment must be in working order.
3. Operators should ensure that the actual voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the back of the machine. The machine must be earthed.
Follow the local regulations. Always turn the power off and remove the
plug or the cable before opening the machine.
4. Connect only to cold water. Make sure that the water connections are
leak-proof and that the water outlet is working.
5. Struers recommend that the mains water supply is shut off or
disconnected if the machine is to be left unattended.
6. Establish efficient exhaust from the working area if consumables
containing alcohol, e.g. blue DP-Lubricant, are being used.
7. Make sure that the grinding or polishing discs are correctly mounted,
the driving pins engaged with the holes in the turntable.
8. Keep clear of the rotational disc and the specimen mover during
operation. Make sure that any screws for clamping of specimens in
specimen holders protrude as little as possible. While grinding
manually, be careful not to touch the grinding paper. Do not drop the
specimen while grinding.
9. Do not lift the specimen mover while preparing individual specimens.
RotoForce-4 or Pedemat must be set to Auto.
10. If you observe malfunctions or hear unusual noises - stop the machine
and call technical service.
