Our chambers are constructed for maximum operator safety when used under standard operating
conditions and when recommended instructions are followed in the maintenance and operation of the
machine.
All personnel engaged in the use of the machine should become familiar with its operation as described
in this manual.
Proper operation of the unit promotes safety for the operator and all workers in its vicinity.
Each individual must take responsibility for observing the prescribed safety rules as outlined. All caution,
warning and danger labels must be observed and obeyed. All actual or potential danger areas must be
reported to your immediate supervisor.
1.6.1 General responsibility
No matter who you are, safety is important. Owners, operators and maintenance personnel must realize
that every day, safety is a vital part of their jobs.
If your main concern is loss of productivity, remember that production is always affected in a negative
way following an accident. The following are some of the ways that accidents can affect your production:
lLoss of a skilled operator (temporarily or permanently)
lBreakdown of shop morale
lCostly damage to equipment and laboratory samples
lDowntime
An effective safety program is responsible and economically sound.
Organize a safety committee or group, and hold regular meetings. Promote this group from the
management level. Through this group, the safety program can be continually reviewed, maintained, and
improved. Keep minutes or a record of the meetings.
Hold daily equipment inspections in addition to regular maintenance checks. You will keep your
equipment safe for production and exhibit your commitment to safety.
Please read and use this manual as a guide to equipment safety. This manual contains safety warnings
throughout, specific to each function and point of operation.

0DQXDO1R00HAA0001203 (Rev 1.0)1.6.2 Operator responsibility
The operator’s responsibility does not end with efficient experimentation and production. The operator
usually has the most daily contact with the equipment and intimately knows its capabilities and limitations.
Plant and personnel safety is sometimes forgotten in the desire to meet incentive rates, or through a
casual attitude toward laboratory equipment formed over a period of months or years. Your employer
probably has established a set of safety rules in your workplace. Those rules, this manual, or any other
safety information will not keep you from being injured while operating your equipment.
Learn and always use safe operation. Cooperate with co-workers to promote safe practices. Immediately
report any potentially dangerous situation to your supervisor or appropriate person.
REMEMBER:
lNEVER place your hands or any part of your body in any dangerous location.
lNEVER operate, service, or adjust the equipment without appropriate training and first reading and
understanding this manual.
lBefore you start the portable drying/conveying system check the following:
nRemove all tools from the machine.
nBe sure no objects, samples or chemicals are laying on the chamber.
lIf your chamber has been inoperative or unattended, check all settings before starting the unit.
lAt the beginning of your shift and after breaks, verify that the chamber is functioning properly.
lReport the following occurrences IMMEDIATELY:
nunsafe operation or condition
nunusual incubated shaker action
nleakage
nimproper maintenance
DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry, which can be caught while working on the equipment. In addition,
cover or tie back long hair.
Clean the equipment and surrounding area DAILY, and inspect the machine for loose, missing or broken
parts.
Shut off power to the chamber when it is not in use. Turn the power switch to the OFF position, or unplug it
from the power source.
