2.4 Safety messages in this manual

CAUTION

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

Instruction Manual supplied with the equipment.

ELECTRICAL HAZARD

The machine must be earthed (grounded).

Make sure that the actual electrical power supply voltage corresponds to the

voltage stated on the type plate of the machine.

Incorrect voltage can damage the electrical circuit.

ELECTRICAL HAZARD

For electrical installations with Residual Current Circuit Breakers

For AbraPlan-30 a residual current circuit breaker Type B, 30 mA is required (EN

50178/5.2.11.1).

For electrical installations without Residual Current Circuit Breakers

The equipment must be protected by an insulation transformer (double-wound

transformer).

Contact a qualified electrician to verify the solution.

Always follow local regulations.

CAUTION

Prolonged exposure to loud noises may cause permanent damage to a person’s

hearing.

Use hearing protection if the exposure to noise exceeds the levels set by local

regulations.

ELECTRICAL HAZARD

Make sure that the electrical power supply voltage corresponds to the voltage

stated on the type plate of the pump.

Incorrect voltage can damage the electrical circuit.

CAUTION

The cooling unit tank is very heavy when it is full.

ELECTRICAL HAZARD

The pump of the recirculation cooling unit must be earthed (grounded).

Make sure that the electrical power supply voltage corresponds to the voltage

stated on the type plate of the pump.

Incorrect voltage can damage the electrical circuit.

AbraPlan-30 9

ELECTRICAL HAZARD

Ask a qualified electrician to verify that the external cooling unit can be used with the

machine.

CAUTION

The pressure of the cooling fluid supplied to the machine must be max. 2 bar.

CAUTION

Do not use the machine with non-compatible accessories or consumables.

CAUTION

The grinding stone/diamond grinding disc has rough or sharp edges.

Use working gloves to protect fingers and hands.

CAUTION

A specimen holder with specimens can be heavy. Do not release the specimen

holder until it is secured in the coupling.

Use working gloves to protect fingers and hands.

CAUTION

Avoid skin contact with the cooling fluid additive.
