I. Safety note

1. Carefully open the box, avoid the accessories, like lens, dropping to ground and being damaged.

2. Do keep the instrument out of direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity, dusty and easy shaking

environment. Make sure the stage is smooth, horizontal and firm enough.

3. When moving the instrument, grip two sides of the bottom of the microscope with your two hands.

4. When running, the lamp house and nearby parts will be very hot. Please ensure there is enough cooling

room for them.

5. Make sure the instrument is earthed, to avoid lighting strike.

6. For safety, be sure the main switch is in “O”(off) state before replace the halogen lamp or the fuse, then

cut off the power, and do the operation after the lamp bulb and the lamp house completely

cool.(Designated bulb: 6V/20W Halogen Lamp)

7. Check the input voltage: be sure the input voltage which signed in the back of the microscope is

consistent with the power supply voltage, or it will bring a serious damage to the instrument.

II. Maintenance

1. All the lenses have been well checked and adjusted. It is forbidden to disassemble them yourself.

2. The nosepiece and coarse/fine focus unit have compact and precise frame, please don’t disassemble

them as possible as you can.

3. Keep the instrument clean, wipe dust regularly, and be attention to avoid contaminating the optical

elements especially.

4. The contaminations on the prism, as finger mark and oil, could be gently wiped with a piece of soft cloth

or tissue paper, gauze which has been immersed in pure alcohol or ether. (Note that the alcohol and the

ether are all burned easily, do not let them near the fire, and use them in a drafty room as possible as

you can.)

5. Don’t use organic solvent to wipe the non-optical elements, when you need to clean, use the soft

detergent, please.

6. When using, if the microscope is splash by liquid, cut off the power at once, and wipe up the moisture.

7. Do not disassemble any parts of the microscope. That will affect the function or decline the

performance of the microscope.

8. Place the instrument in a cool, dry position. After using the microscope, remember to cover it with dust

helmet. Do wait for the lamp house cooling completely before cover.
