Nikon SMZ460 Instructions Manual page 13

Be sure to always follow these guidelines.
• Use an air blower to blow away dust. If that does not suffice,
brush away the dust with a soft brush, or else wipe it away with
gauze.
• Only if there are fingerprints or grease on a lens, dampen a piece
of soft, clean cotton cloth, lens tissue, or gauze with absolute
alcohol (ethyl alcohol or methyl alcohol) and wipe away the dirt.
However, do not wipe more than once with the same place on the
cloth.
• Because absolute alcohol is highly flammable, be careful in
handling them especially around open flames.
• Observe the manufacturer's cautions in handling absolute alcohol.
5. Cleaning painted components
Do not use organic solvents (such as alcohol, ether, or paint thinner)
on painted components, plastic components, or printed components.
Doing so could result in discoloration or in the peeling of printed
characters. If a component is very dirty, wipe it gently with gauze
dampened in a mild detergent solution.
6. Storage
Store the stereoscopic microscope under conditions of low humidity
where mold is not likely to form.
Put a vinyl cover over the equipment to protect it from dust.
7. Regular inspections
Regular inspections of the microscope are recommended in order to
maintain peak performance.
Contact your nearest Nikon representative for details about regular
inspections.
