4. The machine must be placed on a safe and stable table with an adequate working height.
Failure to do so can affect how the machine works and cause the equipment to drop from the
table and/or cause accidents and injuries.
5. All safety functions must be intact and in working order. If they are not, they must be replaced or
repaired before the machine can be used.
6. Make sure that the actual electrical power supply voltage corresponds to the voltage stated on
the type plate of the machine. Failure to do so can result in the machine catching fire.
7. Do not twist or damage the power cables. Damaged power cables can cause fire and/or electric
shock.
8. Never block the ventilation. The machine can overheat and it can cause fire.
9. Never try to modify this equipment, as doing so can result in fire and/or electric shock.
10. Never try to disassemble this equipment. Doing so can result in electric shock.
11. Never open any panel on the machine while it is turned on. Doing so can result in electric shock.
12. Do not allow the machine to come into contact with any liquid. The equipment can catch fire if
water or any liquid gets inside it. If water or any other liquid gets inside the machine, turn off the
power, disconnect the power supply and call technical service.
13. Do not connect or disconnect power with wet hands. Doing so can result in electric shock.
14. If you observe malfunctions or hear unusual noises, stop the machine and call technical service.
15. If two persons work together, make sure they communicate clearly to avoid injuries.
16. Disconnect the machine from the power supply before cleaning it. Failure to do so can result in
electric shock.
17. Struers equipment must only be used in connection with and as described in the instruction
manual supplied with the equipment.
18. If the equipment is subjected to misuse, incorrect installation, alteration, neglect, accident or
incorrect repair, Struers will accept no responsibility for damage to the user or the equipment.
19. Dismantling of any part of the equipment, during service or repair, should always be performed
by a qualified technician (electromechanical, electronic, mechanical, pneumatic, etc.).

3.1 Description
The Duramin software is a tool for setting up and performing manual and automatic hardness testing
for common hardness methods, and for handling image detection, manual and automatic focusing,
file storing, image storing, report print-outs, turret operation, and a range of advanced functions.
The Duramin software combined with an XY-stage make it possible to run case depth hardness
programs, pre-defined testing patterns, and a range of user-defined tasks.
The Duramin software can convert hardness values to 5 different hardness scales complying with
international standards (ISO/ASTM).
