Safety instructions before using
Follow the manufacturer‘s instructions and safety
instructions of the medium you are sampling.
When sampling hazardous substances, follow
the technical rules on hazardous substances (in
accordance with TRGS – (German) Technical Rules
on Hazardous Substances) and wear appropriate
protective equipment.
The instrument must only be used within the
confines of applicable material resistance and for its
designated purpose. Any other type of use will affect
the warranty/guarantee.
Do not use any force when operating the instru-
ment.
Safety instructions during and after use
The device can be used in the temperature range of
0 - 60 °C.
Pay attention to have sufficient space above during
the application (minimum height: height of the
maximum extended piston + 20 cm).
Do not perform any lever movements during the
application. The instrument may be deformed.

or PTFE/FEP (item no. 5331-2xx0).
The instrument is suitable to take samples of viscous
substances such as pastes, mud, creams and oils.
The instrument is only suitable to take samples and
not for continuous operation.
The instrument is not suitable for the storage of
samples.
The instrument is maintenance-free and suitable for
steam sterilisation (up to 121°C).
Parts in contact with medium

PTFE/FEP (item no. 5331-2xx0)
Point out any damage in the packaging to the freight
forwarder/supplier immediately.
Safe sampling
Point sampling/soil sample
1. Slide the wiping ring to the desired sampling
depth.
2. Slide the piston rod with the aid of the handle
into the instrument up to the stop.
3. Submerge the instrument into the medium to be
sampled up to the desired depth / to the ground.
4. Pull the handle. Thereby, the medium is sucked in by
the piston.
5. Remove the instrument from the medium to be
sampled.
6. Empty the sample into a suitable collecting cont-
ainer by sliding in the piston rod.
All-layer sample
1. Slide the wiping ring to the desired sampling
depth.
2. Slide the piston rod with the aid of the handle
into the instrument up to the stop.
3. Pull the handle while submerging the instrument
into the medium to be sampled up to the desired
depth / to the ground. Thereby, the medium is
sucked in by the piston.
WARNING!
Damage to the respiratory tract and other organs
due to escaping or outgasing media.
When sampling hazardous substances, follow
the safety data sheet of the medium to be
sampled.
Wear the appropriate protective clothing.
NOTE!
Before using, the instrument has to be cleaned to
the extent of your (validated) cleaning process.
Measures of manual cleaning have to be carried
out in the cleaning/desinfection area and under
consideration of occupational health and safety.
Pay attention to the material resistance.
WARNING!
Bodily injury due to uncontrolled escaping liquid
under pressure.
Wear the appropriate protective clothing.
