● Provide a proper space around the instrument.
Provide at least 10 cm of clearance around the instrument and make sure the power plug is installed
so that it can be accessed at any time.
● Thoroughly check the installation location before installing the instrument.
Install the instrument on a flat, non-slippery sturdy floor having a sufficient size. If the installation
location is tilted or too small, unexpected accidents may occur.
● Do not use the instrument in a place subject to too low or high temperatures.
Use it in a place where the temperature is stable in a range of 10C to 40C.
● Be sure to connect the power plug to a power outlet with grounding bar.
Connect the power plug alone to a power outlet with grounding bar conforming to at least the Class D
grounding specification. If the instrument is not grounded properly, fire or electric shock may result
due to leak current.
● Lightning and power outage may cause the instrument to fail and stain process may not be
able to continue and adversely affect staining. If the power supply is unstable, use an
uninterruptible power supply.
Lightning may cause the instrument to fail and damage the tissues. If the instrument will be used in a
region where lightning damage is a possibility, use an uninterruptible power supply. If lightning has
caused an irreparable damage to the instrument, take out the basket from the instrument and take an
appropriate measure.
● Do not perform stain process if an extended period of power outage is scheduled. Staining
quality may drop. Staining problems may occur depending on when the power outage occurs.
In this case, use a uninterruptible power supply. If you find that the stain process has stopped due to
an unexpected power outage lasting for an extended period of time, remove the baskets from the
instrument and take appropriate action.
● Install the power cord and cables carefully by making sure the cord and cables will not
interfere with the work.
Failure to do so may result in the operator tripping over the power cord and cables and sustaining
injury.
● Securely connect the power cord and power outlet. If the power cord came off or the power
switch was turned off inadvertently, connect the power cord or turn on the power switch
without delay.
If they are loosely connected, heat may be generated at the connected part, voltage drop can occur
and the instrument may not operate normally. Furthermore, unexpected accidents or injuries can
occur. Also, the tissues may be damaged when the power is cut off during processing.
● Handle the power cord with care. Also, be aware of damage caused by mice and other small
animals.
To unplug the power cord from the power outlet, do not pull the cord, but hold the plug and then pull it
out. Inspect the power cord periodically. If any damage is found in the exterior of the power cord, stop
using it and contact the Sakura Finetek Technical Support representative or local representative.
● Before operating the instrument, be sure to check the electromagnetic environment.
Example: Remove electrostatics from the operator and humidify the room.
