Risk of injuries
Moving parts
− The furnace closes automatically. Hands in the area of the opening can
get crushed when the furnace closes.
• Never reach into the closing furnace.
• Uses crucible tongs when positioning ceramic crucibles.
Machine falling down
Incorrect installation or insufficient working space

• Only operate the machine in a sufficiently large, robust, non-slip and
stable working area.
• Ensure that all machine bases are placed securely on the surface.
Risk of cuts
Glass splinters
− Sample vials and reagent tubes are made of glass and can break. Glass
splinters can cause cuts.
• Inspect reagent tubes and sample vials for damage prior to use.
• Wear protective gloves and goggles when handling reagent tubes
and sample vials.
• Replace damaged reagent tubes and sample vials.
• Do not touch glass splinters with unprotected hands.
Risk of burns
Hot machine parts
− Parts of the machine can get very hot and cause burns during
maintenance work if the waiting time to ensure cooling is not complied
with.
• Before maintenance work, wait until the temperature of the furnace
is < 40 °C.
• Check the furnace temperature in the ELEMENTS software.
