Safety Instructions (continued)
Light sources: safety regulations
▶
Light sources pose a potential irradia-
tion risk (glare, UV radiation, IR radiation).
Therefore, lamps have to be operated in
closed housings and in installed condition.
▶
Never look directly into the beam path
(blinding hazard).
▶
Do not select a white, strongly reflective
background for the specimen.
Careful handling
▶
Exercise particular care when setting up
the instruments. If it is specified that two or
more people are required for setup, compli-
ance with this is mandatory.
▶
Never spill any liquids on electrical instru-
ments. This could cause the stereomicro-
scope and other equipment to become
electrically live and damage people and
instruments.
▶
Never clean instruments using corro-
sive cleaning agents or those containing
acetone. For detailed information about
care, refer to the User Manual for the instru-
ment.
▶
Check the power cables regularly. Defective
power cables can cause injuries.
▶
Wait for bulbs to cool off before changing
them. Touching hot bulbs can cause burns.
