2 Safety

2.1 Intended use

MoviPol-5 is a transportable polishing unit for on-site non-destructive electrolytic sample preparation

and etching.

The equipment is designed for preparation of conductive materials, suitable for electrolytic polishing

and etching. To operate correctly and safely, MoviPol-5 must be used with Struers purpose-designed

consumables and accessories.

MoviPol-5 is only to be operated by adult/skilled/trained personnel in a professional working

environment (e.g. a materialography laboratory). Maintenance and cleaning must be carried out on a

regular schedule and according to instructions provided in this manual.

MoviPol-5 must always be operated in a well-ventilated area.

Do not use the machine for

the following

Preparation of materials other than materials suitable for

materialographic studies.

Preparation of any type of explosive and/or flammable material, or

materials which are not stable during machining, heating or

pressure.

Preparation using consumables or a combination of electrolytes

and accessories which are not compatible for use with this

equipment.

2.3 Safety messages in this manual

WARNING

Danger of chemical burns.

Follow all safety requirements for handling, mixing, emptying and disposing of

electrolytes.

WARNING

Always wear a full-face shield or splash goggles, rubber gloves and a laboratory

coat or coveralls when you are working with perchloric acid.

WARNING

Make sure that you are mixing the solvent in a chemical-fume hood designed for

perchloric acid use.

WARNING

Do not use combustible or carbonaceous containers, reaction vessels, spill pans,

storage shelves or similar materials when you work with perchloric acid.

WARNING

Always remove the battery before transport.

WARNING

Always remove the battery before storage.

WARNING

During transportation the device must not contain electrolyte and must not be

turned upside down. During use, the equipment must not be tilted.

WARNING

Do not fill the electrolyte above the maximum level.

WARNING

Do not operate the machine if there are visible cracks or damage to the unit.

CAUTION

Always request and read the Safety Data Sheet for each electrolyte before you

start working with it.

CAUTION

Many electrolytes contain alcohol or other flammable solvents. Always follow all

safety precautions when working with these types of electrolyte.

2 Safety

MoviPol-5 9

CAUTION

The operator must be fully instructed in how to handle and use electrolytes with this

machine.

CAUTION

The machine is designed to be used with electrolytes recommended by

Struers.Electrolytes that are not recommended by Struers can be dangerous to the

operator or harm the machine.

CAUTION

Fire and explosion hazards

• 60% perchloric acid is a very corrosive and oxidizing product. Heating it can

cause an explosion, and contact with combustible materials can cause fire.

• Fire fighting must be carried out from a protected location. Use extinguishing

media as specified in the Safety Data Sheet.

CAUTION

Make sure that there is adequate ventilation when you are using the equipment with

perchloric acid, particularly if the equipment is carried or hung by the shoulder strap.

CAUTION

All persons involved in mixing, using, storing, transporting and disposing of

electrolytes must be trained in how to handle perchloric acid when carrying out these

tasks.

• Do not inhale any vapor from the solution or its components.

• Avoid skin contact.

CAUTION

Do not produce anhydrous perchloric acid, either from its salts or from aqueous

solutions, e.g. by heating with high boiling acids or dehydrating agents such as

sulfuric acid or phosphorous pentoxide. In addition to spontaneous explosion, the

anhydrous acid explodes instantaneously on contact with oxidizable organic

materials.

CAUTION

Limit the use or storage of perchloric acid to quantities less than 500 g per fume hood.

CAUTION

Struers equipment must only be used in connection with and as described in the

instruction manual supplied with the equipment.

CAUTION

Always connect the battery charger to the battery pack before you connect the

battery charger to the electrical power supply.
