SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING!
WARNING! Parts in this kit have functional sharp points, corners, or edges. Do not
injure yourself! Be careful when handling the dissecting needle, when cutting
objects with the slicing tool (microtome) or other blades, and when working with
the fragile glass slides.
WARNING! Not suitable for children under 3 years. There is a risk of choking due to
small parts that can be swallowed or inhaled.
Keep away from young children!
Before starting, check the parts list to be sure that all the right pieces are contained
in the box.
Keep the packaging and instructions, as they contain important information.
Rules for Safe Experimentation
›››
Prepare your materials and work area carefully before starting the experiments.
Give yourself sufficient space and gather all of the things that you will need.
›››
Conduct your experiments and make your observations with the microscope
slowly and deliberately, as described in the instructions.
›››
Read these instructions before use, follow them and keep them for reference.
›››
Do not use any equipment which has not been supplied with the set or
recommended in the instructions for use. Do not use any power supply other
than as indicated.
›››
Do not eat or drink in the experimental area.
›››
When foodstuffs are required by any experiment:
Before starting an experiment, separate the amount of foodstuffs required for
the experiment from the rest of the foodstuffs.
Do not replace foodstuffs in original container. Dispose of immediately.
›››
Some of the recommended investigation objects might contain substances that
are slightly toxic (e.g. ivy, tulip). Therefore:
Do not allow chemicals to come into contact with the eyes or mouth.
Do not apply any substances or solutions to the body.
Wash hands after carrying out experiments.
›››
Keep young children and animals away from the experimental area.
›››
Store this experimental set out of reach of children under 8 years of age.
Safety for Experiments with Batteries
One button cell battery (3V, CR2032) is required and is included in the kit. Battery replacement should be supervised by
an adult. For instructions, see the inside back cover. Avoid short-circuiting the battery. The supply terminals are not to
be short-circuited. A short circuit can cause the wires to overheat and the battery to explode. The battery is to be inserted
with the correct polarity. Press it gently into the battery compartment. Follow the instructions on the inside back cover.
Always close the battery compartment with the lid after installing the battery. Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be
recharged. They could explode! Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision. Rechargeable
batteries are to be removed from the toy before being charged. Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the toy.
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with environmental provisions, not in the household trash. Be sure not to bring
batteries into contact with coins, keys, or other metal objects. Avoid deforming the battery.
Disposal of the Battery
The battery does not belong in the household trash! In some states and countries, it is required by law to
deliver batteries and rechargeable batteries to a local collection location or to a store. This will ensure that
they will be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. Batteries containing hazardous
substances are identified by this image or by chemical symbols (Cd = cadmium,
Hg = mercury, Pb = lead).
Disposal of Electrical and Electronic Components
This product’s electronic parts are reusable and, for the sake of protecting the environment, they should not
be thrown into the regular household trash at the end of their lifespan. Instead, they must be delivered to a
collection location for electronic waste, as indicated by the following symbol:
Please consult your local authorities for the appropriate disposal location.
Dear Parents!
In this experiment kit,
your child will discover
the wonders of the
microcosmos. Please stand
by your child’s side during
the experiments and provide
help and support when it is
needed. The help of an adult
is particularly necessary
when using the slicing tool
or dissecting needle.
When setting up the
microscope, you should
go through the steps for
proper usage together
with your child. Please
also make sure that the
batteries are properly
inserted in the device. With
some practice, your child
will soon be conducting fun
and successful microscopy
experiments!
We wish you and your child
a lot of fun and fascinating
experimentation!
