3.1 Unpacking

Fig. 3.1 LPS710 stage (shown with optional accessories)

Note

Retain the packing for use in future transportation.

Caution

Once removed from its packaging, the stage can be damaged by

mishandling. The unit should only be handled by its base, not by any

attachments to the moving part.

The equipment contains no user servicable parts. Do not remove any screws

securing the covers or attempt any repairs or adjustments as this will affect

the calibration and invalidate the warranty.
