Non-compliance with the action guidelines and safety instructions contained in
this manual may result in serious hazards.
2.1 Intended use
The instrument is designed and constructed exclusively for the intended use as
described here.
The frame heater is used exclusively for heating plastic parts of optical frames.
Compliance with all instructions given in these operating instructions forms part
of the intended use. Any use deviating or varying from the intended use is consi-
dered incorrect use.
WARNING WARNING!
Danger resulting from incorrect use!
Incorrect use of the frame heater may result in hazardous
situations.
• The instrument must not be used for materials other
than the plastic parts of optical frames.
• The instrument must only be used under constant
supervision.
• Keep untrained persons away from the instrument.
• Do not set up the instrument near optical measuring
instruments.
Any claims due to damage arising from incorrect use are excluded.
2.2 Responsibility of the healthcare establishment
The instrument is used in the commercial sector. The healthcare establishment
where the device is to be used is therefore subject to any legal obligations inclu-
ding occupational health and safety (e.g., the regulations for accident prevention
valid in Germany).
The healthcare establishment is also obliged remain infor-
med of all relevant, local laws valid at the time the device is
being used and any standards and guidelines associated
with these laws and to adhere to these.
• The healthcare establishment must ensure that a damaged or non-functional
instrument is never used.
• The healthcare establishment must be informed of all valid occupational
health and safety regulations and implement these in the form of an instruc-
tion manual for the operation of the instrument.
• The healthcare establishment must verify that this instruction manual con-
forms to the current regulations for the entire time the instrument is in use
and must update the manual if necessary.
• The healthcare establishment must clearly regulate and specify the responsi-
bilities for setup, operation, resolution of faults and cleaning.
• The healthcare establishment must ensure that all employees who use the
device have read and understood these operating instructions. All personnel
must also be trained and informed of any hazards by the healthcare establish-
ment at regular intervals.
