1. Declaration of conformity

We declare under our sole responsibility that this product is in compliance with the regulations 2014/35/EU,

2006/42/EC and 2014/30/EU and conforms to the standards or normative documents: EN 61010- 1, EN

61010- 1- 2- 051, EN 61326- 1, EN 60529 and EN ISO 12100.

2. Safety instructions

General information

●Read the operating instructions in full before using and follow the safety instructions.

●Keep the operating instructions in a place where they can be accessed by everyone.

●Ensure that only trained staff workwith the appliance.

●Follow the safety instructions, guidelines, occupational health and safety, and accident prevention

regulations.

●Because the options for combining products, tools, stirring vessels, experiments, and media are

nearly endless, user safety cannot be ensured simply with design requirements on the part of the

product.

○For example, glass devices or other stirring vessels that are sensitive to mechanical stress

can be damaged or shattered by an imbalance, increasing the speed too quickly or too little

distance between the stirring element and the stirring vessel. Users can suffer serious injury

from glass breakage or from the freely rotating stirring element. For this reason, it may

become necessary for users to take other precautionary safety measures.

●Only process media that will not react dangerously to the extra energy produced through

processing.

○This also applies to any extra energy produced in other ways (e.g., through light irradiation).

●Do not operate the instrument in explosive atmospheres, with hazardous substances or under

water.

●Process pathogenic materialsonly in closed vessels under a suitable fume hood.

⚠If in stalla tio n o r p o sitioning c a nno t e ns ure this a c c e ss a t a ll t im e s , a n a d d itio na l EMERGENCY

STOP switch that can be easily accessed must be installed in the work area.

●Please contact us if you have any questions.

Instrument design

●The instrument is not suitable for hand-held operation.

●The high torque requires particular care in the choice of stand, cross sleeve, and anti-rotation

element for the agitating vessel.

●Set up the stand in a spacious area on an even, stable, clean, non-slip, dry, and fire proof surface.

●Ensure that the stirring element is securely clamped in the chuck.

●Use stirring shaft protective equipment.

●The agitated vessels used for stirring must be secured. Make sure that the entire m ixing structure

is stable.

Accessories

●Protect the instrument and accessories from impact.

●Check the instrument and accessories for damage before each use. Do not use damaged

components.

●Safe operation is only guaranteed with the accessories provided by Four E’s Scientific.

●Always switch the main switch to the OFF positionand disconnect from the power source before

changing the stirring element and fitting allowed accessories.

Instrument protection

●There may be electrostatic activity between the medium and the output shaft which could cause a

direct danger.

●After an interruption in the power supply or a mechanical interruption during a stirring process,

the unit does not restart automatically.

●It is important to note that the surfaces of the motor (cooling fins) and certain parts of the bearing

may get very hot during operation.

●Never cover the ventilation slots or cooling fins on the motor or on the instrument.

●Avoid knocking and impactingthe lower end of the shaft and the chuck gear teeth. Even minor,

imperceptible damage can lead to imbalance and uneven shaft action.

●Ensure that the stand does not start to move.

●Imbalance of the output shaft, the chuck, and the stirring tools can lead to uncontrolled resonant

vibrational behavior of the instrument and the whole assembly. Glass apparatus and stirring

containers can be damaged or shattered by this. It can cause injury to the operator and can

damage the rotating stirring tool. In this case exchange the stirring tool for one without imbalance

or remedy the cause of the imbalance. If there is still imbalance, return it to thedealer or the

manufacturer along with a description of the fault.

●If the instrument is operated too long in overload orif the ambient temperature is too high, the

instrument will switch off automatically.

●The machine must onlybe serviced by trained representatives. Unauthorized service will void the

warranty and could be dangerous.

Experiment procedure

●Please observe the permitted speed for the stirring element. Never set to a higher speed.

●Make certain that the unit is set at the lowest speed before using; otherwise, the unit will begin

running at the speed set during the last operation. Gradually increase the speed.

●Pay attention when setting the speed to any imbalance of the stirrer tools and possible spraying

of the medium to be stirred.

⚠Never operate the instrument with the stirrer tools rotating freely. Ensure that parts of the

body, hair, jewelry or items of clothing cannot be trapped by the rotating parts.

⚠The operation of a free rotating shaft end is dangerous. Therefore, for safety reasons, only

insert through the stirring tool over the upper edge of housing at standstill.

⚠Wear your personal protective equipment in accordance with the hazard category of the

medium to be processed, otherwise there is a risk of:

○splashing of liquids

○projectile parts

○body parts, hair, clothing, and jewelry getting caught.

⚠Beware of the risk o f:

○flammable materials

○glass breakage as a result of mechanical shaking power.

P: (609) 403-3344 | www.4Es-USA.com

○agitating vessel breakage as a result of displacement of no- fixed vessel

●Reduce the speed if:

○the medium splashes out of the vessel because the speed is too high

○the instrument is not running smoothly

○the instrument begins to move around because of dynamic forces

○an error occurs

○agitating vessel relative displacement as a result of mechanical resonance

⚠Do not touch rotating parts during operation!

Power supply/OFF

●The instrument can only be disconnected from the mains supply by pulling out the mains plug or the

connector plug.

●The socket for the mains cord must be easily accessible.

●The voltage stated on the type plate must correspond to the mains voltage.

Securing the universal plate stand

Firstly, manually screw the stainless-steel stand (⑧) with the nut (⑪) into the corresponding threaded

hole on the baseplate (⑩). Then tighten the nut (⑪) clockwise with your wrench. Finally, check whether

the stainless-steel rod is firmly fixed on the baseplate.

Securing the overhead stirrer to the stand

First secure the cross clamp (⑨) to the stainless-steel stand (⑧), and the height of the cross clamp can

be adjusted according to different vessel volume, then tighten the handle (left) (⑦). Then secure the

extension arm to the other slot of cross clamp (⑨), and tighten the handle(right) (⑦) above the cross

clamp (⑨). Before use, please check whether the stirrer is firmly fixed. The position of the stirrer can be

adjusted only when the instrument is switched off and the stirrer stops working.

Securing the stirring shaft

Type- A Chuck:Turn clockwise to loosen the chuck, insert the stirring shaft into the mounting hole

of the chuck (⑫), and turn anticlockwise to tighten the chuck (⑫). The stirring shaft can only be

changed when it stops working and the power supply is disconnected.

Type- B chuck:Turn counterclockwise the chuck key (⑤) to loosen the chuck. Then insert the

stirring shaft into the mounting hole of chuck (⑥) and turn clockwise the chuck key (⑤) to tighten

chuck. The stirring shaft can only be changed when it stops working and the power supply is

disconnected.

4. Switch on and run

●The voltage required by the device must correspond to the mains voltage.

Note: If the above condition is met, the device is ready for operation when the main plug is plugged

in.

If the above condition is not met, safe operation is not guaranteed and the device could probably be

damaged.

●After switch on the main switch (④), all the LED display is light and it will display the last setting

speed on the screen after a few seconds. Ensure the speed set is suitable for the test medium

selected

●If not sure whether the speed is proper or not, set the speed adjustment knob (②) to the lowest

speed (left hand position). Press the knob (②) to start or stop the stirring.

5. Faults

●The device doesn’t work when switched on.

○Check if the power cord is connected correctly.

○Check if the DC power port is disconnected or loose.
