IMPORTANT
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. After the equipment has been used in an observation of a specimen that
is accompanied with a potential of infection, clean the parts coming in
contact with the specimen to prevent infection.
· When moving the microscope, be sure to remove the specimen to
prevent it from dropping and scattering, and hold the microscope
by the positions shown in Fig. 2 on the next page.
· In case the specimen is damaged by mistake, promptly take the action
for preventing infection.
· The microscope becomes unstable when its height is increased by
attached modules. In this case, be sure to take countermeasures for
preventing it from toppling down and dropping the specimen.
2. To avoid potential shock hazards and burns when replacing the lamp bulb, set
the main switch
1
to “ ” (OFF) then disconnect the power cord from the wall
outlet in advance and, whenever you replace the bulb during use or right after
use, allow the lamp replacement cover
2
and bulb to cool before touching.
3. Install the microscope on a sturdy, level table or bench so as not to block
the air vents on the underside of the base. Do not place the microscope
on a soft surface into which the microscope may sink, as this could result
in blocking the air vents and cause overheating or a fire.
4. Always use the power cord provided by Olympus. If no power cord is
provided, please select the proper power cord by referring to the section
“PROPER SELECTION OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD” at the end of
this instruction manual. If the proper power cord is not used, product
safety performance cannot be warranted.
5. When installing the microscope, route the power cord away from the
microscope frame. Should the power cord come in contact with a hot
part, the power cord could melt and cause electric shock.
6. Always ensure that the grounding terminal of the microscope and that of the
wall outlet are properly connected. If the equipment is not grounded, Olympus
can no longer warrant the electrical safety performance of the equipment.
7. Never set the main switch
1
to “
I
” (ON) while a metallic object is present
in the air vents of the microscope, as this could result in electrical shock,
personal injury and equipment damage.
8. After operation or in case of abnormality, be sure to disconnect the power
cord from the connector on the microscope or from the wall power outlet
