General
Operation of an Agilent 4100 Microwave Plasma Atomic Emission
Spectrometer (MP-AES) involves the use of compressed gases,
microwave energy and hazardous materials including corrosive fluids
and flammable liquids. Careless, improper or unskilled use of this
instrument can cause death or serious injury to personnel, and/or
severe damage to equipment and property. Only trained personnel
should use this equipment.
The MP-AES incorporates interlocks and covers that are designed to
prevent inadvertent contact with any potential hazards. If the
MP-AES is used in any manner not specified by Agilent, this
protection may be impaired. It is good practice to develop safe
working habits that do not depend upon the correct operation of the
interlocks for safe operation. It is essential that no interlock or cover
is bypassed, damaged or removed.
