2. Ensure that only trained staff uses the device. Keep the instructions manual in a place where it can be accessed easily.

3. Beware of the possible effects of magnetic field on pacemakers, data media, etc.

4. Properly lift the device with both hands while moving or installing.

5. Do not place any steel or magnetic material on the top surface except the recommended magnetic stirring bar with beaker or flask in between. Doing this can affect the magnetism of device.

6. Wear your personal protective equipment in accordance with the hazardous category of the media to be processed. Otherwise, there is a risk from:
   ⇒ Splashing of liquids.
   ⇒ Ejection of parts.
   ⇒ The release of toxic or combustible gases.

7. The top surface must be clean and kept intact. Wear protective gloves while cleaning the device. Use a soft mild cloth to clean.

8. Do not use damaged beaker, flask, stirring bar or any other component for operation. It may affect the efficiency of the device.

9. Reduce the speed if:
   ⇒ If the medium splashes out of the vessel due to high speed.
   ⇒ If the appliance is not running smoothly.
   ⇒ If the container moves on the base plate.

10. Do not move the device when it’s connected to power supply or during its operation.

11. Ensure that the product is used only for specified operation. It should not be used for shaking hazardous or reactive solutions.

12. Give specific attention to the risks associated with:
    ⇒ Flammable materials.
    ⇒ Flammable media with low steam pressure.
    ⇒ Overfilling of medium.
    ⇒ Incorrect vessel size.
    ⇒ Unstable vessel.
    ⇒ Glass breakage.

13. Note that, there is a possibility of contamination or unwanted chemical reaction.

14. The rating of power supply must match with the specified rating.

15. Process pathogenic materials only in a closed vessel under a suitable extractor hood. Do not operate the appliance in explosive atmospheres, with the hazardous substance or under water.

16. Only that liquid should be used for mixing which does not react dangerously to the extra energy produced through processing. This also applies to any extra energy produced in other ways. For example: Through light irradiation, through surrounding temperature etc.

17. Abrasion of the dispersion equip mentor the rotating accessories can get into the medium you are working on.

18. The chemical reaction of PTFE can occur when in contact with molten or dissolved alkaline earth metals. Only elementary fluorine, chlorine fluorine and alkaline metals do attack PTFE, halogen hydrocarbons have a reversible swelling effect.

19. To protect do not cover the device, even partially, with elements such as metallic plates or sheets otherwise it may overheat. Ensure that mounting plate remains clean.
