• Be careful during your observations, always replace the dust cover after you are finished with observations
to protect the device from dust and stains.
• If you are not using your microscope for extended periods of time, store the objective lenses and eyepieces
separately from the microscope.
• Store the device in a dry, cool place away from hazardous acids and other chemicals, away from heaters, open
fire and other sources of high temperatures.
• When using the microscope, try not to use it near flammable materials or substances (benzene, paper,
cardboard, plastic, etc.), as the base may heat up during use, and might become a fire hazard.
•
Always unplug the microscope from a power source before opening the base or changing the illumination
lamp. Regardless of the lamp type (halogen or incandescent), give it some time to cool down before trying
to change it, and always change it to a lamp of the same type.
• Always use the power supply with the proper voltage, i.e. indicated in the specifications of your new microscope.
Plugging the instrument into a different power outlet may damage the electric circuitry of the microscope, burn
out the lamp, or even cause a short circuit.
• Seek medical advice immediately if a small part or a battery is swallowed.
