Operation Method
Preparation for Operation
1. Setting of shaking method
The unit is set to the rotary shaking method at the time of shipping. Perform the following procedures in
order to set it to the reciprocating shaking method.
①Remove the shaking table when it is on the unit. Remove the two shaking table fixing screws by turning
them counterclockwise, then hold the handle of shaking table and lift it to remove it.
②Change the attaching positions of the four flat countersunk head screws which are fixing the shaking
table fixing table in referring to the drawing shown below. Move the flat countersunk head screws from
the positionsAto the positions B by using a Philips screwdriver.At this time, screw the flat countersunk
head screws which are put into the holes B into the reciprocating motion axis of the main unit surely.
Fig.1 Setting of Reciprocating Shaking Method
2. Setting of shaking table
The shaking table is not the standard accessory. Prepare it separately.
At the time of setting of the shaking table, hold the handle of the shaking table, then set it between the
front pins and the pusher pins (2 pieces) on the rear side of the shaking table fixing table by pushing the
rear side pins. Finally, set the shaking table fixing screws (2 pieces) to the hole positions, then tighten

Operation Method
Preparation for Operation
3. Setting of sample
Install the unit at a stable place. Put sample in the container which is suitable to the shaking table, then
set it on the shaking table. At this time, confirm that the container is surely set on the shaking table. If
sample is put up to the upper part of the container, sample may be overflowed during shaking.
4. Connection of power

Handling Precautions
WARNING!
Substances that cannot be used
Never use explosive substances, flammable substances and substances that include explosive
or flammable ingredients in this unit. Explosion or fire may occur.
If a problem occurs
If smoke or strange odor should come out of this unit for some reason, turn off the power key
right away, and then turn off the circuit breaker and the main power. Immediately contact a
service technician for inspection. If this procedure is not followed, fire or electrical shock may
result. Never perform repair work yourself, since it is dangerous and not recommended.
CAUTION
Putting specimen
Use the special rack to correctly put specimen. Put specimen evenly taking care not to be
concentrated locally. Themaximum total allowable weight is 12kg including racks and containers.
Speed adjustment
The shaking speed of this unit is adjusted appropriately at the shipment from factory.
If the power voltage fluctuates widely, or if the motor temperature rises abnormally, the speed
could be changed more or less. If any abnormality including abnormal vibration and shaking
main unit is detected, reduce the speed by means of the speed adjusting knob.
If max. Specified revolution is exceeded, the abnormal vibration or noises could be caused, and
thus be caused failure.
Not to sandwich the hand.
Please be careful that a hand is not caught in the shaking table. It cause an unnecessary load in the
motor, or may be injured.
Do not step on this unit
Do not step on this unit. It will cause injury if this unit fall down or break
Do not place any object on the unit
Do not place any object other than the shaking table on the unit. The unit may malfunction or
drop and cause a personal injury.
Close the screw surely
Please close screws surely, when exchange the shaking table or shaking method.
Do not allow the instrument to get wet
Be absolutely certain not to get electrical parts wet, as this can cause short circuits and electrical
shock.

12
Handling Precautions
Start at low speed
Always start operation at low speed. Turning on the power with the dial set to high or maximum
speed will cause the motor to spin abruptly, which may send the magnetic agitator flying,
damaging or breaking glass container or causing fluid solution to splatter.
Increase mixing speed gradually.
Gradually increase mixing speed while watching solution mixture status closely.Increasing speed
too quickly may send the agitator off center and into the sides of the container, possibly causing
damage or breakage.
During a thunder storm
During a thunderstorm, turn off the power key immediately, then turn off the circuit breaker and
the main power. If this procedure is not followed, fire or electrical shock may be caused.
Operation method
Operate this unit with the method specified by this operation manual. If operated in ways other
than specified in this operation manual, any failure or accident could be caused.
If operated in ways other than specified in this operation manual, the product is not guaranteed.
