3032 SAFETY NOTES 1. Open the shipping carton carefully to prevent any accessory, i.e. objectives or eyepieces, from dropping and being damaged. 2. Do not discard the molded Styrofoam container; the container should be retained should the microscope ever require reshipment.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Do not attempt to disassemble any component including eyepieces, objectives or focusing assembly. Keep the instrument clean; remove dirt and debris regularly. Accumulated dirt on metal surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. More persistent dirt should be removed using a mild soap solution.
