Safety Summary
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,
service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or with
specific WARNINGS elsewhere in this manual may impair the protection provided by the
equipment. In addition it violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use
of the instrument.
The Agilent Technologies, Inc. assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply
with these requirements.
• Ground The Instrument
To avoid electric shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to
a safety earth ground by the supplied power cable with earth blade.
• DO NOT Operate In An Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gasses or fumes. Operation
of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
• Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and
internal adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not replace
components with the power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous
voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always
disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.
• DO NOT Service Or Adjust Alone
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of
rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.
• DO NOT Substitute Parts Or Modify Instrument
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts
or perform unauthorized modifications to the instrument. Return the instrument to
Agilent Technologies Sales and Service Office for service and repair to ensure that
safety features are maintained.

throughout this manual. Instructions contained in the warnings must be followed.

Warning
• Do not stick your fingers near the HLM- Spindle stage while it is moving as it may
cause injury to the operating personnel.
• Do not stick your fingers in shroud while the spindle is running.
• The furnished shroud does not provide protection from glass shards which can cause
death or serious injury. To prevent injury to the operating personnel use a safety cover
when you use glass media. Contact Agilent Technologies when you design a safety
cover.
Caution
• Strong magnetic fields exist in the X-Y stage drive motors. Keep magnetic devices
away from the motor to avoid damaging it.
