1.5 Operation
When using the biological microscope, please pay attention to the following safety instructions:
• If it is used for any purpose other than the specified ones, including any individual component or part,
the manufacturer will not take any responsibility.
• After-sales service or repair done by unauthorized personnel will void the warranty.
• Anyone who uses the instrument should receive instruction on the proper handling of the instrument and safety
practices for microscopy. The biological microscope shall be placed only on a firm, flat workbench for operation.
• Since the biological microscope is a precision instrument, improper operation will impair or spoil its performance.
• The power unit is integrated in the main unit of the biological microscope: the grid supply voltage is within
100-240V~50Hz.
The biological microscope must be connected only to the normal power socket with
a grounding terminal. Any extension cord without ground protection is not allowed to avoid
failure of the protection function.
If there is any electrical failure (of the fuse system, ground protection or transformer),
turn off and unplug the unit immediately. Make sure the microscope is set aside so it will
not be used again and contact the Motic service department or a Motic microscope repair
agency to have it repaired.
Please be sure to turn off the power before opening the instrument to replace
LED illuminator or replace the fuse! Only use a fuse for the rated current.
Safety instructions for the use of immersion oil.
• Immersion oil is irritating to skin; avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
• Skin contact: wash with soap and plenty of water until the immersion oil
is completely removed.
• Eye contact: flush immediately with plenty of water for at least 5 minutes.
If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
• Dispose of immersion oil properly. Do not discharge into surface water or sewage.
The biological microscope is not equipped with any special device to protect against corrosive, latent infective,
toxic, radioactive or other hazardous samples. Therefore, when examining any such sample you must comply with
the relevant laws and regulations, in particular the provisions related to accident prevention.
