WARNING Precautions in the Manual

Ignition of Flammable Chemicals
•
This instrument is not explosion-proof. In unattended operation, do
not use organic solvents having an ignition point below 70 C
•
Beware of ignition hazard when using flammable chemicals such as
organic solvents.
Do not bring a heat or flame source near the instrument.
(a)
Well-ventilate the laboratory room where the instrument is used.
(b)
Always check the following conditions. If an abnormality is found, stop
(c)
operation immediately.
•
When using flammable chemicals, be careful about possible ignition
due to static electricity. To prevent the build-up of static electricity,
use a conductive container for waste solution employ and provide
proper grounding connection to it.
Explosion of Vapor from Flammable Chemicals
If a flammable chemical such as organic solvent leaks from the flow
path of the instrument and its vapor concentration reaches the
explosion limit, it could cause spontaneous combustion with
dangerously explosive results.
When using a flammable and readily volatile chemical, be sure to
check for leakage from the instrument flow path and ventilate the
laboratory room adequately.
WARNING
 Leakage of solvent or waste solution.
 Leakage of solvent inside the instrument.
