Safety Precautions
SEA STAR™ orbital shaker is a benchtop shaker designed for laboratories in the
bioscience, physical science, and chemistry fields. Intended to mix solutions in
various labware vessels. It may be involved with biohazardous and/or hazardous
materials. This instruction manual can not address all safety hazards. It is the
responsibility of the user to consult and observe all health and safety precautions
and to assess the instrument's suitability to the task.
CAUTION!
Before starting SEA STAR™ for the first time, please read this instruction manual
carefully. This manual contains important information, safeguards, and operating
instructions. Improper use of the instrument voids the warranty.
1. Never use SEA STAR™ in any manner inconsistent with these instructions.
2. Observe general laboratory safety precautions and regulations.
3. Do not modify construction and/or assembly of shaker.
4. Do not lift shaker by platform.
5. The platform must always be securely fastened.
6. All shaking vessels or containers must be secured to platform.
7. Do not use damaged power adapter, platform, or bungee cords.
8. Use a properly grounded electrical outlet of correct voltage and current
