3.0 Operation
Once the microscope has been setup in its working location with all of the components
correctly installed, it is ready for use.
Your Meiji Techno PKL Microscope Stand is a precision instrument designed to last a
lifetime. Always handle your equipment with care and avoid abrupt motion, vibration and
shock.
Always disconnect the power cord from the back of the stand when not being used, when
cleaning your instrument or when making any repairs.
Avoid Dismantling
Never attempt to dismantle the stand. This will void your warranty and could possibly
lead to the stand no longer working.
