CAUTION
8. Notes on cleaning
•
Petroleum benzine and absolute alcohol used for cleaning are highly flammable. Handle them
with due care, keep them away from fire or sparks, and do not use them when turning the pow-
er switch on and off.
•
When handling petroleum benzine or absolute alcohol, always follow the instructions provided
by the manufacturer.
•
Do not use organic solvents (such as alcohol, ether, and thinner) when cleaning the painted,
plastic, or printed parts of this product. Using organic solvents might result in discoloration or
cause printed text to fade.
•
Use petroleum benzine only when wiping immersion oil off the objectives. Do not use petroleum
benzine to wipe the incident lens at the bottom of the tube, the prism surface of the tube, or
filters.
•
When using organic solvents such as absolute alcohol, be sure to wear finger stalls or gloves to
avoid direct contact with the solvent.
9. Cautions on replacing the lamp
•
When replacing the lamp, wait until the lamp and the lamphouse become sufficiently cool
(approximately 30 minutes) after the lamp is turned off.
•
To prevent electrical shock or failure, always turn off the power switches of the microscope main
body and of the power supply (set the POWER switches to “OFF” or to “o”) and unplug the
power cord before replacing the lamp.
•
After replacement, tightly close the cover of the lamphouse and fix it. Never use the system with
the lamphouse cover open.
•
Do not break used lamps. Dispose of used lamps according to the regulations or rules of your
local government, or ask a licensed industrial waste disposal operator to dispose of it.
10. Cautions on carrying the microscope
When carrying the microscope main body, observe the
following precautions to ensure safety.
Failure to observe these precautions might cause the
microscope to drop, possibly resulting in damage or
serious injury.
•
When carrying the microscope a long distance, always
use a cart or something similar.
•
Be sure to screw the TI-BCH carrying handles all the
way in.
If the carrying handle is not screwed all the way in, it
might fail to sustain its rigidity and so could buckle.
•
All four TI-BCH carrying handles must be correctly
mounted, and two adults must transport the microscope.
The two front handles must be held by one person, and
the two rear handles must be held by the other person.
If the TI-BCH carrying handles are not correctly used,
the microscope could tip over or fall.

Mounting the carrying handles
•
Because the microscope with devices attached to the main body is very heavy, remove as many
devices as possible so that the least effort is required to carry the microscope. Using undue effort
to lift the microscope could not only hurt your back, but might also cause the microscope to drop,
possibly resulting in serious injury. (See below for the product weight.)
- Ti2-U main body (base): Approximately 20 kg
- TI2-D-PD pillar for dia illumination: Approximately 4.5 kg
- TC-S-SR stage: Approximately 3.7 kg
- TI2-N-ND DIC sextuple nosepiece: : Approximately 0.83 kg
