CAUTION
7. Cautions on lamp replacement
• To prevent burn injuries, wait at least 30 minutes after the lamp is turned off to give it
sufficient time to cool when replacing lamps.
• To prevent electrical shock and damage to the microscope, always turn off the power
switch (flip it to the " " side) and unplug the power cord from the outlet before attaching
or detaching the lamp house.
• Never touch the glass surface of the lamp with bare hands. Doing so will cause
fingerprints, grease, etc. to burn onto the lamp surface, reducing the illumination. If you
do get any fingerprints or dirt on the lamp, wipe them clean.
• Make sure the lamp house cover is securely fitted to the lamp house after replacing lamps.
Never turn on the lamp with the lamp house cover removed.
• When you dispose of the replaced lamp, do not break it up. Instead, dispose of the used
lamp as special industrial waste or dispose of it according to the local regulations and
rules.
