With a detector tube inserted and the handle drawn back, the pump cylinder is
under a high vacuum. If the handle lock is released under vacuum conditions, it
will pull back suddenly. Holding the pump by the extended shaft can lead to
injury. Always hold the pump by the cylinder, never by the shaft.
w
Broken glass tube tips can fall from the tip cutter or storage area when using the
pump. To prevent glass contamination in restricted area (e.g., food processing
plants) use the optional Model B-191 Tip cutter.
e
Normal use of detector tubes requires the handling of broken glass tubes.
Safety glasses and protective gloves are recommended.
r
Detector tubes contain small amounts of chemical reagents, which may be
toxic. Avoid skin and eye contact with the internal chemical reagents.
