SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

30°

Getting Ready

Fig. 2

1. To prevent the microscope body from turning over, its pivot angle must

be limited to 30° as shown in Fig. 1.

2. Sufficient care is required during observation with a magnification objec-

tive, because the objective´s long working distance can displace the

microscope body to a higher position. Care is also required when using

an auxiliary pillar (SZH-P400/P600), which also makes the microscope

body unstable.

3. To adjust the microscope body height, be sure to hold the focusing as-

sembly with one hand while loosening the focusing assembly clamping

knob @. (Fig. 1)

(Use the drop prevention collar (SZX-R) to prevent a hazard from occurring.)

1. A microscope is a precision instrument. Handle it with care and avoid

subjecting it to sudden or severe impact.

2. Do not use the microscope where it is subjected to direct sunlight, high

temperature and humidity, or vibration. (For operating environment, see

Section 6, "Specifications" on page 16.)

3. Observe the following cautions when operating the coarse or fine focus

adjustment knobs or the zooming knob.

Caution

1. If the knob hits the upper or lower

limiting mechanism violently or

it is rotated after it hits a limiting

mechanism, the internal mecha-

nism may be damaged.

2. If the knobs on the left and right

are rotated in opposite directions,

the internal mechanism will be

damaged. (The tension of the

coarse focus adjustment knob

should be adjusted using the

tension adjustment ring ³ on the

knob.)

1. If the knob hits the upper or lower

limiting mechanism violently or

it is rotated after it has hit a limit-

ing mechanism, the internal

mechanism may be damaged.

2. If the knobs on the left and right

are rotated in opposite directions,

the internal mechanism will be

damaged.
