Disposal instructions:
• When disposing of the IKA
®
battery pack, please tape over
the contacts with adhesive tape to prevent short-circuiting
due to moisture or contact with metal components. Short-
circuiting may result in an explosion.
• Do not throw used battery packs into your household

tory regulations.
End users are obliged by law to return all used dis-
posable and rechargeable batteries. Throwing them

If during operation the battery
pack RB 1 (rechargeable battery)
becomes fully discharged, the de-
vice will continue to run or is shut down depending on the
value settings for exceeding the time and safety speed. If
the device is set so that it continues to run when the bat-
tery of the Wireless Controller (WiCo) is fully discharged,
the only means of switching the station off are the safe
button and the off switch!
Please note the following
safety instructions for the
battery pack RB 1 (recharge-
able battery):
• Keep the battery pack out of reach of children at all times.
• Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place.
• Never throw the battery pack into a fire. Keep it away
from direct sunlight and temperatures above 60 °C. High
temperatures will damage the battery pack and render
it unusable. Temperatures above 100 °C may cause it to
explode.
• Never throw the battery pack into water or expose it to
moisture. Water may lead to a short-circuit, causing the
battery pack to explode.
•
Do not deform or crush the battery pack or damage it in
any other way. This can cause battery fluid to leak and/or
the battery pack to explode.
• When not in use, keep battery packs away from pa-
perclips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects which could cause the contacts to be bridged.
Short-circuiting may result in an explosion.
• Explosion of a battery pack may release battery fluid and
cause a fire.
•
Imbalance of the output shaft, the chuck and in particu-
lar the stirring tools can lead to uncontrolled resonant vi-
brational behavior of the device and the whole assembly.
Glass apparatus and stirrer containers can be damaged
or shattered by this. It can cause injury to the operator,
also can damage the rotating stirring tool. In this case
exchange the stirring tool for one without imbalance or
remedy the cause of the imbalance.
If there is still imbal-
ance, return it to the dealer or the manufacturer along
with a description of the fault.
• If the device is operated too long in overload or if the
ambient temperature is too high, the device switches off
permanently.
• The machine must only be opened by trained specialists,
even during repair. The device must be unplugged from
the power supply before opening. Live parts inside the
device may still be live for some time after unplugging
from the power supply.
Covering or parts that are capable
of being removed from the unit
without accessory equipment
have to be reattached to the unit for safe operation in or-
der to prevent, for example, the ingress of fluids, foreign
matter, etc..
