6.8.7.4.1 Safety notice
For many years the grinding jar clamping mechanism has been a proven, easy to use and
reliable device. The basic prerequisite both for the safety of the operator and for the life of the
machine components is careful clamping of the grinding jars.
Please remember that this device involves grinding equipment which applies very high amounts
of energy into the sample material, and that the grinding set therefore needs to be locked into
position carefully.
Correct securing of the grinding jar is always queried prior to starting the machine in order to
prevent operating errors.
Employees who have been especially trained and who are familiar with operation of the PM can
also permanently fade out this safety notice. We do not recommend this course of action,
particularly when there are changes in operating staff!
The device software is set up such that the displayed message about clamping the grinding jars
must be confirmed whenever the start button is actuated prior to starting the machine.
The grinding process begins after confirmation.
This safety notice can be faded out in the “Settings” menu.
