8 Cary 100/300/4000/5000/6000i/7000 Spectrophotometers User’s Guide
Other precautions
Both the deuterium and the visible lamps operate at high
temperatures, and touching either of these lamps may result in
burns. Before replacing a lamp that has been lit, switch off the
spectrophotometer and either ensure that the lamp has cooled, or
protect your fingers from burns.
Do not block the ventilation grilles on the spectrophotometer and
accessories. Consult the manuals supplied with your computer,
monitor and printer for their specific ventilation requirements.
Use of the Cary system and accessories may involve materials,
solvents and solutions which are flammable, corrosive, toxic or
otherwise hazardous.
Careless, improper, or unskilled use of such materials, solvents and
solutions can create explosion hazards, fire hazards, toxicity and
other hazards which can result in death, serious personal injury, and
damage to equipment and property.
ALWAYS ensure that laboratory safety practices governing the use,
handling and disposal of such materials are strictly observed. These
safety practices should include the wearing of appropriate safety
clothing and safety glasses.
