2 Safety
The device is built in accordance with the current state of technology and recognised
safety regulations. In order to rule out danger to life and limb of the user, third parties
or the device when using it, use the device only for its intended purpose and in a clearly
flawless condition in terms of safety.
The device is for use in the commercial sector.
The operator is therefore subject to the legal obligations for occupational safety.
2.1 Use of the device
The device is intended for the sonication of aqueous fluids. The sonication of non-aqueous
or flammable liquids is not permitted. The device works on the basis of low-frequency
ultrasound and can be used in a variety of ways.
Their main application is the gentle and intensive cleaning of objects of diverse shapes,
types and sizes, in particular suitable for small volumes with vacuum support.
A solution made from water and a special agent for ultrasonic applications
is used as the sonication fluid. You will find information on the sonication fluid
in chapter 5.2 Sonication fluid.
Goods to be treated may not be placed on the bottom of the oscillating tank.
They must be placed in the sonication fluid in an inset basket or another suitable container.
An overview of suitable accessories can be found in chapter 10 Accessories.
Do not operate the device while unattended.

maintain the safety of the device throughout its entire lifespan. In order to ensure safety,
the operator is obliged, among other things, to ensure the following:
- The device may only be operated by authorised personnel.
- Dangerous working methods must be prohibited.
- Check of the personnel's work procedures.
- Confirmation by the personnel's signature that the instructions
for use have been read and understood.
- Complete and legible copy of the operating instructions must be available
in the close vicinity of the device.
- Legible warning symbols and instructions on the device.
- Personnel must wear PPE during activities with an increased risk of injury.
- Detailed definition of the areas of responsibility of the personnel.
2.3 Keep out of reach of children
Children cannot identify hazards posed by the device.
Therefore, keep the device out of the reach of children.
2.4 Danger of electric shock
The device is an electrical device. Failure to follow safety rules can result in a life-threatening
electric shock.
• Only transport the device when empty.
• Empty the device only after the cleaning programme has ended.
• Do not spray the device or expose it to splash water.
• Always disconnect the device from the mains before cleaning or maintenance.
• Only plug the device into a grounded mains socket that fits the ground contact
on the device plug.
• If you notice a defect in the device, disconnect the mains plug immediately.

Safety

2.5 Harmful to health due to ultrasound noise
The ultrasound noise typical of the process can be perceived as very unpleasant.
Remaining within a radius of 5 m for an extended period of time may cause damage to health.
• Wear suitable hearing protection.
• Use the lid for noise reduction.
2.6 Hazards due to high temperatures
The device, the sonication fluid and the sonication objects can become hot during operation.
Contact with these products may cause burns. The temperature can be set at up to 75°C.
Ultrasound energy warms up the sonication fluid even without additional heating.
Prolonged ultrasound operation can lead to very high temperatures.
In a device with heating, the set temperature can be significantly exceeded
by the energy of the ultrasound.
• Observe the treatment times recommended by the manufacturer of the ultrasound agent.
Do not leave the ultrasound switched on for longer than necessary.
• Do not reach into the sonication fluid with your hand. Remove sonication objects
with the insert basket or forceps.
• Allow the sonication objects to cool before touching them.
• When lifting from the handles, the hands may touch the edge of the tank
which could be very hot.
In the case of high-boiling liquids, the bath temperature can rise to over 120 °C
due to the energy input of the ultrasound. This can lead to fires and severe burns.
• Do not use combustible, explosive, non-aqueous fluids (e.g. petrol, solvents)
or mixtures with combustible liquids (e.g. alcoholic solutions) directly in the stainless
steel oscillating tank.
2.7 Danger due to ultrasound
The strong ultrasound in the device destroys cell structures. If part of the body is immersed
in the sonication fluid during operation, this can cause damage to skin and also damage
to internal tissue. The periosteum of finger bones can be damaged.
• Do not reach into the sonication fluid during operation.
• Never sonicate living creatures.
