Chapter 3 Preparation and inspection before observation
3.5 Inspecting the scope
CAUTION
• Be sure to hold the scope by a position on the rear of the angulation section. Otherwise, the
angulation section may be damaged.
„
Inspecting the external appearance of the scope
1
Check visually that the external finish of the complete length of the
scope and universal cable are free of irregularities such as
deformation.
2
Check that the external covering material of the scope, other than
the angulation section, is not loose.
CAUTION
• If the scope is deformed, you may not be able to withdraw it from the observation object.
•
If the external material of the insertion tube is cut, take care against injury during inspection.
„ Inspecting the scope distal end
WARNING
• The distal end of the scope may become hot due to the illumination light or the internal
heating caused by electrical parts. Do not forget to turn off the light source before attaching
or detaching the optical adapter. Touching the distal end immediately after having turned off
light source may cause burn on your skin.
1
Make sure that power is turned off.
2
Remove the tip cap from the scope distal end. For 6 mm type and
6.2 mm type scopes, make sure that the O-ring on the scope distal
end did not detach after removing the tip cap (see “Inspecting the
O-ring” (page 40)).
