2. Safety Precautions

1. Be careful when opening box to keep objectives from dropping and damage, avoid

objectives from sweat and fingerprints.

2. Do keep the metallographic device 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.

★DO NOT hold the coarse-fine movement hand wheel or the lamp house or the

microscope may be damaged.

4. Please ensure enough cooling room for power box and keep away from power wires.

5. When running, the lamp house and nearby parts will be very hot. Please ensure 10cm

cooling room for them.

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

7. For safety, be sure the main switch is in “O”(off) state and cut off the power supply

before replacing the bulb or the fuse. If you replace the bulb during use or right after use,

3. Maintenance and Care

1. All the lenses have been adjusted properly; do not dismount them by yourself please.

2. The nosepiece and coarse and fine focusing parts are so delicate that it is forbidden to

disassemble them carelessly by yourself.

3. Keep the instrument clean ,and do not pollute the optical element when wiping away the dust

on the instrument.

4. The contaminations on the prism, like fingerprints and oil smudges, 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 ether are highly flammable, do keep them away from

the fire or potential sources of electrical sparks, and use them in a drafty room as

possible as you can.)

5. Do not attempt to use organic solvents to clean the microscope components other than the

glass components. To clean them, use a lint-free, soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted

neutral detergent.

6. When using, if the microscope is splashed by liquid, cut off the power at once, and wipe away

the splash.

7. Do not disassemble any parts of the microscope, as this will affect the function or reduce the

performance of the microscope.

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

3-1Connect power source and regulate

light（pic.1,pic.2）

1. Connect the air plug of halogen lamp

house with the aerial socket○

1of the

power box, plug one head of power line to

socket○

2and the other head to the power

supply. Toggle the converter switch○
