Safety instructions - transport and installation
Warning
• The instrument must be transported in an upright position only (use transport anchors!).
• Two persons are required when lifting or carrying the instrument!
• The Leica CV5030 is intended for use in enclosed rooms only.
• The instrument may be operated with the provided power cable only. This power cable may not be
replacedbyanother.Shouldtheprovidedpowercablenottinthesocketattheinstallationlocation,
notify the responsible Leica Service.
• Only connect the instrument to a grounded power socket. The protective effect may not be eliminated by
an extension cable without a protective grounding conductor. The instrument automatically recognizes
the applied voltage/frequency.
• The installation location must be well ventilated, and must contain no sources of ignition of any kind. The
chemicalstobeusedintheLeicaCV5030arehighlyammableaswellashazardoustohealth.
• The instrument may not be operated in hazardous locations.
• Condensation water may form in the instrument if there is an extreme difference in temperature between
the warehouse and the installation site and if air humidity is high at the same time. If this is the case,
wait at least two hours before switching on the instrument. Failure to comply with this may cause
damage to the instrument.
• The instrument must be leveled carefully before commissioning. For more information, refer to
(→p. 24 – 4.4 Leveling the instrument).
Safety instructions - working with the instrument
Warning
• The instrument may only be operated by trained laboratory personnel.
• It must only be operated for the purpose of its designated use and according to the instructions
contained in these Instructions for Use.
• In the event of an emergency, switch off the power switch and unplug the instrument from the power
supply.
• Suitable protective clothing (lab coat, gloves, protective goggles) must be worn when working with
reagents. Avoid skin contact with solvents or cover slip mountants.
• Make sure that mountant is applied in the correct amount. For additional information, refer to
(→p. 59 – 5.10 MENU A — parameter settings). Excess mountant can run from the specimen slide
onto the work surface and the transport belt of the bath insert, thus impairing the movement of parts of
the instrument. Refer also to (→p. 81 – 7. Cleaning and Maintenance).
• During operation, do not block motor-driven components with objects or manual interference. There is a
risk of injury from broken glass!
• Do not carry out the discarding movement of the Pick & Place module (cover slip mount) manually!
Please observe the notes in (→p. 29 – 4.7.1 Checking needle height).
• Never leave the instrument unattended for a long period of time. Particular care must be taken during a
power failure to ensure that tissue sections do not dry out.
• Remove all glass parts or other objects away from the Leica CV5030 working area during STOP. Only
then may START be actuated.

Tissuesampleloss/qualitydegradationand/orinstrumentdamage
• Before using any consumables it is the user's responsibilty to ensure that the expiration date has
not yet been reached.
• Dispose of any expired consumables immediately and in accordance with the regulations of the
laboratory and of the country.
Warning
• Take care when handling solvents and coverslip mountants!
• Always wear rubber gloves, a lab coat and safety goggles when handling the chemicals used in this
instrument.
• Thereagentsusedcanbebothtoxicand/orammable.
• Dispose of used reagents while observing applicable local regulations and the disposal regulations of
yourcompany/lab.
Hazards - servicing and cleaning
Warning
• Before each maintenance task, remove the loading bath and the specimen slide holder from the
instrument, switch the instrument off and unplug it from the power supply.
• Only Leica service technicians are authorized to open the instrument for maintenance and repair work.
• When using cleaners, please comply with the safety instructions of the manufacturer and the laboratory
safety regulations.
• When cleaning the instrument surfaces, do not use scouring powders or solvents containing acetone,

4.1 Installationsiterequirements
The location for the Leica CV5030 Robotic Coverslipper must meet the following requirements:
Warning
• The installation location must be well ventilated, and must contain no sources of ignition of any kind.
• ThechemicalsusedintheLeicaCV5030areeasilyinammableandposeahealthhazard.
• Never operate the instrument in rooms with an explosion hazard.
• Condensation water may form in the instrument if there is an extreme difference in temperature between
the storage location and the installation site and if air humidity is high at the same time. If this is the
case, wait at least two hours before switching on the instrument.
• Failure to adhere to this waiting period may result in damage to the instrument.
• To ensure proper function of the instrument, it must be set up while maintaining a minimum clearance of
10cmbetweentherightsideorrearpaneloftheinstrumentandwallsorxtures.Maintainaclearance
of25cmbetweentheleftsideandwallsorxturestoensureunimpededaccesstotheservicedoor.
• The instrument must be set up so that the power supply at the rear panel of the instrument and the
power plug can be reached at all times.
• The installation location must be protected against electrostatic discharges.
• The instrument requires an installation area of approx. 420 x 600 mm.
• Thetablemusthaveasucientloadcapacityandrigiditywithrespecttotheweightoftheinstrument.
• The instrument is designed for indoor use only.
• The power supply must be at a distance no greater than the length of the power cable; do not connect
an extension cable.

• Thechemicalsusedintheinstrumentareeasilyinammableandposeahealthhazard.
• All of the device connections are listed in the Instructions for Use.
• We recommend operating the robotic coverslipper with an exhaust hose (max. length of the exhaust
hose: 3.00 m) and connection to external laboratory extraction or under a suitable fume hood. The
instrumentshouldbeoperatedwiththeassociatedactivecarbonlterintheprocess.
• The instrument operator has to ensure that ESD safety precautions are maintained.
• The instrument operator is obligated to conform to the local workplace limit values and to document
them.Furthermore,theinstrumentoperatormustensurethatthereissucientairexchangeand
theactivecarbonlterischangedattherecommendedinterval.Theinstrumentoperatorbears
