Installation location a ee a Note the following points when installing the stereoscopic microscope. @ Install the microscope in a location with the temperature between 0° and 40°C, and humidity of less than 80%. If installed in a hot and humid location, mold may form on the len or condensation may occur inside, resulting in reduced performance or damage to the microscope. Do not install the microscope in a location subject to direct sunlight. Install the microscope in a location that is not subject to vibration. Install the microscope in a location that is free from dust and dirt. Handle the microscope carefully "9 The stereoscopic microscope is a precision optical instrument. Handle it carefully and do not subject it to impact. Shock from impact during transportation or operation as well as forcible operations may cause damage to the instrument. Cleaning the lenses (O00 Do not let dust, fingerprints, etc. to get on the lenses. Dirt on the lenses will adversely affect the view of the image. If any lenses become dirty, clean them as described below. Use an air blower to blow dust away. If this does not suffice, brush away the dust with a soft brush or gently wipe it away with a piece of gauze. © Only if the lenses become dirty with fingerprints or grease stains, slightly dampen a piece of soft, clean cotton cloth with absolute alcohol (ethyl alcohol or methyl alcohol) and gently wipe away the dirt. Do not use the same part of the cloth more than once. Since absolute alcohol is highly flammable, be careful in handling it so that it does not ignite. Observe the manufacturer’s handling instructions when handling absolute alcohol.Be sure to always follow these guidelines. y a a _| Use of silicon cloth is recommended when cleaning painted parts, plastic parts and printed parts. If such a part becomes excessively dirty, wipe it gently with gauze dampened in a mild detergent solution. Do not use organic solvents (such as alcohol, ether, or paint thinner) as this may result in deformation of the part or remove of lettering. Store the microscope in a location with low humidity where mold is unlikely to form. Do not store the microscope in a location subject to direct sunlight or high temperature and humidity. During storage, place a plastic cover over the equipment to prevent dust accumulation. |. LY Regular Regular inspections are recommended in order to maintain peak performance.
