Precautions

• Avoid Contact with Specific Substances:

• Extremely hard substances: Do not grind to prevent damage to the mortar and pestle.
• Hydrofluoric acid: Avoid contact to prevent corrosion damage.

• Operational Details:

• The mortar should be placed on a stable, non-slippery surface.
• The pestle should be kept vertical during use. Large solid pieces can only be crushed, not pounded with the pestle, to avoid damage or splattering.
• Explosive substances should only be gently crushed and not ground.
• When grinding substances corrosive to the skin, cover the mortar with a thick paper or plastic sheet, cut a hole in the center, and insert the pestle through the hole before grinding.
• The amount of solid in the mortar should not exceed 1/3 of its capacity.

• Usage Restrictions:

Agate mortars cannot be heated and must not be placed in an oven for drying.

• Cleaning Instructions:

• Rinse with water first.
• For acid-resistant mortars, dilute hydrochloric acid can be used for cleaning.
• For stubborn residues, add a small amount of table salt, grind it, and then clean the mortar again.
