Risk of burns
Hot machine parts
− Some parts of the machine can get very hot and cause burns when
touched without wearing protective gloves.
• Wear heat-resistant protective gloves when working with hot
machine parts.
• Never touch hot parts of the machine without suitable protective
gloves.
Risk of eye injury
Very bright combustion tube
− The combustion tube shines very brightly when it is hot and can cause
eye injuries if you look directly into the furnace due to visible light and
invisible infrared light.
• Wear suitable goggles when working on the furnace.
• To protect your eyes, slide the glass guard in front of the furnace
entrance.
• Never look directly into the furnace.
Risk of burns
Hot sample carriers
− The sample carrier may be very hot after the analysis and can cause fires
and therefore injuries if in contact with flammable surfaces.
• Always use suitable crucible tongs to transport used crucibles and
dishes.
• Ensure there are no combustible materials beneath the furnace
opening.
• Only open the furnace once the appropriate waiting time has expired.
• Adapt the waiting time in the program where necessary to enable the
sample carrier to cool down sufficiently.
