Safety Precaution Sheet

To be read carefully

before use

1. The operator should be fully aware of the use of the machine according

to the Instruction Manual.

2. The machine must be placed in a well ventilated room on a working

table with adequate height for convenient operation.

3. Be sure that the actual voltage corresponds to the voltage stated on the

back of the machine and on the heating/cooling unit. The machine must

be earthed.

4. Be sure that the water connections are mounted correctly and without

leaks. The main water supply should be turned on when the machine is

in use.

disconnected if the machine is to be left unattended

5. Be sure that the outlet hose is safely attached to the water outlet

system.

6. Be sure that the mounting unit is correctly assembled on the press

before starting the process.

7. Be sure that the top closure with upper ram is either correctly mounted

on the mounting cylinder or completely removed from the mounting

cylinder before starting the press.

8. Do not operate the mounting press with a higher force/pressure than

recommended for the actual cylinder diameter and resin in Struers

Application Guide for Hot Mounting.

9. Following a heating cycle, ensure the mounting cylinder is cooled for a

minimum of two minutes before opening.

10. Do not operate the machine whilst assembling or disassembling the

mounting unit.

The equipment is designed for use with consumables supplied by Struers. If subjected to misuse, improper

installation, alteration, neglect, accident or improper repair, Struers will accept no responsibility for
