Remove the 1.25” diameter standard
Condenser coupler from the case and
screw onto the connector fitting (See
Figure 3).
Do Not Over tighten.
2.
While holding the coupler firmly in
hand, push the head of the flashlight
into the coupler until seated.

General Operation, Checks, and Care of all Scopes
General Scope Checks before and after each use
1.
Before and after each use, check scope for rips, tears, and abrasions.
2.
Check for proper operation of lighting. If dim or not lighting, first replace batteries.

General Operation
1.
Always exercise care when inserting and removing the shaft of the scope into and
from the hole of the object you are inspecting.

Try to pre-determine the route and location of the area you are inspecting. With this
you can pre-bend the 10 mm shaft in the direction you require to facilitate viewing.
3.
Never bend the shaft length tighter than 3 inches [7.62 cm] diameter.
4.
Never expose the housing to water or liquids.
5.
Never insert the shaft into hot locations greater than 60 °C [140 °F].
