5. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read the following safety instructions before using the mini vortex mixer
for your safety & the safety of the equipment.
1. Gently take the mini vortex mixer out of the packaging box and
place it on a flat, stable, clean, non ‐ slippery surface.
2. Do not lift or hold the device from the power cable.
3. This mini vortex mixer is to be used to mix material that the user
knows will not react dangerously to any extra energy produced
from mixing.
4. The mini vortex mixer should be used for the specified application
only. It must not be operated in a hazardous or flammable
environment and must not be used to mix explosive or highly
reactive material.
5. Users should always use covered test tubes. Overfilling of liquid may
cause the medium to splash out.
6. Caution: The equipment will restart, both in case of power
interruption and in case of any fault or mechanical interruption.
Care should be taken based on the sample used for mixing.

7. Always use tubes up to 30 mm in diameter for best result and
product safety.
6. OPERATION
Operation starts automatically when the soft rubber cup is pressed
down using the test tube (as shown in
image) and stops once the test tube is
removed. In the variable mini vortex mixer,
rotate the speed knob to increase or
decrease the speed between 2500 to 4500
RPM. Rotate clockwise to increase the peed
and counter clockwise to decrease the
speed
