Safety Requirements for operation • For ceiling mounts only: Our service staff or a qualified person ap- pointed by us will install the system on ceiling anchors which have been properly mounted by the construction engineers responsible. These ceiling anchors must comply with the specifications contained in our planning manual.
Page 27
Safety • Make sure that the instrument has been switched off before you change the xenon lamp module. When switched on, the ignition sys- tem generates high voltage. • The xenon illumination system is a high-intensity light source which - if used improperly - can cause thermal injury to skin or tissue.

Preparations Adjusting the surgical microscope Bring the surgical microscope into its starting position within the focusing range. Adjust the minimum magnification on the surgical microscope. Bring the surgical microscope into the position required. Adjust your interpupillary distance on the binocular tube. Adjust your prescription on the eyepieces.
Preparations Surgical microscope with a laser micromanipulator Please observe the separate user manual for your laser micromanipu- lator. Warning! It is absolutely vital that the focal planes of the surgical microscope and of the laser micromanipulator are identical. Before every laser application of the surgical microscope using a laser mi- cromanipulator, you must adjust the focal plane of the microscope to the focal plane of the laser micromanipulator.
