9-2 Lens cleaning procedures
①
Using the blower, blow dusts off from the lens.
Air-blow cleaning is the principal cleaning method. Proceed to the steps below only when
you need to remove stubborn soils that the air-blow cleaning cannot handle.
②
Make sure that no dust is left on the lens surface. Wiping off a dusty lens surface may
damage the lens. When dusts are left on the lens surface, blow them off first using the
blower as described in the step
①
.
③
Wrap the tip of a flat-end softwood stick with a piece of cleaning paper. Wrap the stick so
that the end of paper protrudes approximately 2 mm off from the tip of stick.
④
Dip the tip of cleaning paper into the cleaning solution. Clean a lens with a spiral motion
from the center towards the rim of the lens. Carefully clean the lens surface so that no
soiled area is left out. Do not apply excess force when cleaning a lens. Excess force
may damage the lens.
⑤
If the steps above do not clean the lens sufficiently, replace the used cleaning paper with
new cleaning paper and clean the lens again.
⑥
If any soil is left out, gently wipe off the soiled area with a cotton swab soaked with a little
amount of water. Since water traces may appear after cleaning with water-soaked swab,
clean the lens by repeating the steps

Should you have stubborn soil that cannot be removed by the steps above, contact your
supplier or us
