Warnings
Magnetism!
This instrument creates a magnetic field, and should not be
used by individuals with cardiac pacemakers. Caution should
also be observed when using this instrument near data stor-
age devices, as loss of data may result.
PTFE
When using PTFE-coated magnetic bars, please pay atten-
tion to the following:
Chemical reactions of PTFE occur in contact with molten or
dissolved alkaline and alkaline earth metals, as well as with
fine-particle powders of metals of the 2. and 3. group of the
periodical system of elements at temperature above 300 to
400 °C. Only elementary fluorine, chlorine trifluoride and
alkaline metals do attack PTFE. Halogen hydrocarbons
have a reversible swelling effect.
