1.1 Safety Precautions (Cont.)
Certain samples require special care!
With certain types of samples, there is a possibility of danger to personnel or damage to property
through:
Fire or explosion:
— Flammable or explosive substances;
— Substances containing solvents;
— Substances which release flammable or explosive vapors when heated. With such samples,
work at a drying temperature that is low enough to prevent the formation of flames or an
explosion and wear protective goggles. Should there be any uncertainty regarding the flam-
mability of a sample, always work with a small sample (maximum. 1 gram). In such cases,
never leave the instrument unattended! In cases of doubt, perform a careful risk analysis.
Poisoning, burning:
— Substances which contain toxic or caustic components. Such substances may be dried only
in a fume hood.
Corrosion:
— Substances which release corrosive vapors when heated (e.g. acids). In the case of such
substances, we advise you to work with small amounts of samples as the vapor can con-
dense on cooler housing parts and cause corrosion. Please note that the user always takes
responsibility and assumes liability for damage caused by use of the types of samples
mentioned above!
— Never make any modifications or constructional alterations to the instrument and use only
original spare parts and optional equipment from Ohaus Corporation.
— Your Moisture Analyzer is a rugged, precision instrument – but you should still treat it care-
fully; it will then provide you with many years of trouble-free operation.
— Please comply with all notes and instructions in these operating instructions. Keep the
instructions in a safe place where they are immediately at hand if any points are unclear.
If you lose these instructions, please contact your OHAUS dealer for an immediate replace-
ment.
