astronomical telescope to look
d i r e c t l y a t t h e s u n i s t e r r i b l y
dangerous due to the light and heat
concentrated on its focal point.
When placing the tube assembly onto an equatorial mount, be
‫ی‬
careful to balance the tube in the tube holder. This will prevent
injury to fingers and will prevent it from falling to the ground.
When placing the tube assembly in the tube holder, always hold
the tube with one hand to keep it from falling off the tube holder
onto the ground.
Always lay the tube assembly on a stable surface that totally
‫ی‬
supports it to protect it from damage.
Keep the tube assembly out of the Sun. Otherwise, the tube
‫ی‬
assembly could heat up, causing lens damage. If the sun light
were to reach it directly, the temperature around it would greatly
increase and could cause a fire.
Make focus adjustments very carefully to reduce the risk of injury.
‫ی‬
Make sure children do not swallow the smart parts such as
‫ی‬
screws, rings or caps. Also, the box contains huge plastic bags
which should be kept out of the reach of children.
Keep all packing materials away from an open flame. These
‫ی‬
materials are flammable.
