and any other condition that may affect the Microscope’s operation.
If damaged, have the Microscope serviced before using.
3. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one product may become hazardous when used on another product.

handled carefully and kept clean and dry to avoid damage. When not in
use, keep the Microscope covered with a dry, clean cloth. Dust and moisture
can damage the instrument.

may damage the lenses.
6. If necessary, clean the lenses with a soft, dry brush. Do not clean with
moist cleaning agents.

should be performed only by a qualified service technician.
