WARNING
•
Should the lamp burst, or the gases leak, all the personnel must
immediately leave the room so as not to inhale the mercury
vapor. Further, thoroughly ventilate the room for at least 30
minutes.
•
If you happened to inhale the mercury vapor, immediately rinse
your mouth and throat with a plenty amount of water. If
mercury or mercury vapor contacts on your skin or gets into
your eyes, wash it off with a plenty amount of water likewise. If
you feel sick, or notice any sign of illness, please at once
consult your doctor.
•
Wait till the lamp and the lamphouse cool down before cleaning
up the mess.
•
To gather the scattered liquid mercury, use a special material
for absorbing the mercury (available from vendors handling
experimental materials). Dispose of them as the special
industrial waste or dispose of them according to the laws or
rules of your local waste system.
•
Pick up the broken pieces of glass with the greatest care so as
not to cut your fingers. Put the broken pieces of glass in a hard
container and dispose of them as the special industrial waste or
dispose of them according to the laws or rules of your local
waste system.
•
The inert gas inside the lamp are the same as those exist in air.
They are harmless. Because safety is a top priority in the design
of Nikon products, the hazards described above should not pose
any danger as long as you heed all of the warnings and cautions
in the manuals and use the system only for its intended purpose.
However, the hazards described above could lead to an accident
if you fail to heed all of the warnings and cautions in the
manuals, if you strike the system, or if you attempt to
disassemble the system. Therefore, always be sure to heed all of
the warnings and cautions.
•
If the lamp bursts, contact your nearest Nikon representative
immediately. Never continue to use the equipment in “as is”
condition, because some glass shreds may remain in the
equipment.
Be sure to always follow these guidelines.
