The instrument is designed to be operated only by trained
laboratory competent operators over the age of 18. For
educational purposes, where operators are under 18 years
old, you should conduct an independent risk assessment and
ensure suitable measures are implemented to prevent
accidental burns from the top of the chimney.
Any adjustments, maintenance and repair must be carried
out as defined in the operator manual by a person who is
aware of the hazards involved
Operating and service personnel should always employ a
safe system of work in addition to the detailed instructions
provided in this manual.
MSDS Sheets have been supplied for the Calibration
Standards, Diluent & Cleaning Solutions supplied in the
Starter Pack. If any other chemicals are used the appropriate
MSDS should be obtained from the supplier. All Health and
Safety data should be adhered to with these and any other
chemicals used with the instrument.
Laboratory procedures for safe handling of chemicals should
be employed at all times
In the event of a problem where the possibility of safety protection
has been impaired, the instrument must be made inoperative,
disconnected from service supplies and the fault must be reported
immediately. (Serial number and the Hour Meter reading will be
required).
Under no circumstances should the instrument covers be removed.
This can only be performed by a trained engineer and could result
in a void of warranty.
