4.1 Use of the machine for the intended purpose
Risk of explosion or fire
Changing sample properties
– Consider that the properties and therefore also the hazardousness of your
sample can change during the grinding process.
• Do not use any substances in this device which carry the risk of
explosion or fire.
Risk of explosion or fire
– On account of its design, the device is not suitable for use in hazardous
(potentially explosive) atmospheres.
• Do not operate the device in a hazardous atmosphere.
Danger of personal injury
Dangerous nature of the sample

necessary measures to rule out any danger to persons.
• Observe the safety guidelines and datasheets of your
sample material.
Target group: Operating companies, operators
Machine type designation: PM400
Retsch ball mills are used to grind and mix soft, medium hard and extremely hard,
brittle and fibrous materials. Dry and wet grinding are possible. Minerals, ores,
alloys, chemicals, glass, ceramics, parts of plants, soil, sewage sludge, house or
industrial waste and many other substances can be ground simply, quickly and
without loss. The ball mills are used successfully in almost all areas of industry
and research. This applies in particular where there are high demands in terms of
hygiene, speed, fineness and reproducibility.
Area of use of the machine
– This machine is a laboratory machine designed for 8-hour single-shift
operation.
• This machine may not be used as a production machine nor is it
intended for continuous operation.
