1. Install the stand on a level desktop (inclination angle of less than 3°).

2. When moving the stand, make sure that the clamping mechanisms are

secured tightly and lift the stand by holding it by the base plate. If the

stand is held by the horizontal arm or column alone, the base plate may

drop.

3. The load of the stand is limited (see table below). A heavy object such as

a photography unit cannot be used.

The column is attached at a position deviated from the center of the

base plate.

The safety of the stand varies depending on the orientation of the hori-

zontal arm. (Figs. 1 & 2)

When the horizontal arm is extended at maximum, the load to the bonder

arm is limited as shown in the following table.

Front 70°

Max. 4.6 kg

Side 85°

Max. 3.0 kg

Rear 120°

Max. 2.0 kg

The horizontal arm is most stable when it is oriented in the front 70°

range shown in Fig. 2.

4. When a wide space is required in front of the microscope, the horizontal

arm should often be oriented in the rear 120° range and the stand tends

to topple down easily. In this case, fix the stand firmly by using a table

clamp @ or placying a weight (3 kg or more) ² on the base plate. (Fig. 3)

* Under this condition, the stand tends

to topple down easily if another load

is applied during the microscope op-

eration. It is recommended to set the

horizontal arm as short as possible.
