• Using gentle movements as necessary, allow the grinding set to slide into the support (*Fig.
with optional Autolifter)
Fig. 16: Clamp the grinding set
• The grinding set is automatically clamped at the start of the grinding process.
Risks of burns and scalding
Hot grinding jar and/or sample material
− The sample material and grinding jar can get very hot during the grinding
process.
• After grinding, always wear protective gloves when handling the
grinding jar.
• Never open hot grinding jars!
• Allow grinding jars to cool down to room temperature before
opening them.
The grinding jar clamping mechanism consists of a bellows cylinder that is automatically filled
with air before the start of the grinding process, thereby clamping the grinding set.
Please bear in mind that this device involves grinding apparatus with very high input of energy
into the sample material.
– The device can only be started when the grinding set has been clamped.
– If the clamping comes loose due to insufficient air pressure during grinding, the device will
switch off automatically
