arting up and follow the safety instructions.
• Keep the operating instructions in a place where they can be
accessed by everyone.
• Ensure that only trained staff work with the equipment.

WARNING Wear your personal protective
equipment in accordance with the
hazard category of the medium to
be processed, otherwise there is a
risk of:
- splashing of liquids
- projectile parts
- body parts, hair, clothing and je-
welry getting caught.
• Uncontrolled reactions can be triggered by mixing the heated
material insuciently or by the energy generated by selecting
a speed that is too high. In case of these and other increased
operational hazards, users must take additional appropriate
safety precautions. In any case, when using critical or haz-
ardous materials in your processes, IKA recommends to use
additional appropriate measures to ensure safety in the ex-
periment. For example, users can implement measures that
inhibit fire or explosions or comprehensive monitoring equip-
ment. Furthermore, users must make sure that the unit switch
of the IKA product can be accessed immediately, directly and
without risk at any time.
• Only process media that will not react dangerously to the
extra energy produced through processing. This also applies
