BEFORE USE
Observe the following procedures carefully:
a Operation_~ ~ _
CD Since the microscope is aprecision instrument, always handle it with care, and avoid abrupt motions or
shocks.
(:i) Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, high temperature and humidity. dust and vibration.
C~) Before bulb or fuse replacement, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
(~} AIways ground t he microscope to preven telectric hazard.
® Only use the tension adjustment ring for altering the tension of the coarse adjustment knobs.
@) Be careful not to soil lens surfaces with dust, fingerprints, etc.
Q) Be certain the voltage selector switch on the base plate of the microscope is set to conform with the local
line voltage before use. (CHS only)
*Specifications of the electrical components differ from others than the equipment with 120 V of supply
circuit, as the equipment is in compliance with the requirements of Underwriters Laboratories. Also, the
equipment
is not needed to select voltage,
fJ Maintenance and Storage
(I) Use aclean brush or lens tissue paper to clean the lens surfaces. If the lens surfaces are soiled with oil or
fingerprints, wipe them
off carefully with gauze moistened with asmall amount of acleaning medium
(alcohol and ether 3:7), or xylene.
(2) Do not use organic solutions (e.g. thinner, xylene, ether, alcohol) to wipe painted surfaces or plastic parts
of various components. They should be cleaned with aneutral detergent.
C~) Never disassemble each componen t of the microscope for repair yourself. since the integrated performance
may
be impaired.
CiJ When not in use, the microscope should be covered with the dust cover provided or contained in astorage
case, and kept in aplace free
from humidity and mold.

Explanation for Assembly Procedure
csewng of the line voltage selector switch in position (for CHS only)
Ascertain that the line voltage selector switch CD is set in conlormity
with the local line voltage. If not. the switch should be set at 100V
(for 110V to 120V) or 200V (for 2.20V to 240V) correctly by means
of ascrewdriver. (Fig. 1)
* For the U.S.;
Frames sold in the U.S. meet the UL standard and are set at
115V. Therefor. this selector switch is not included.

II .Mounting the observation tube
1) Loosen the clamping screw CD fully, and mount the observation tube
on the stand. Reclamp the screvv CD to securely hold the observation
tube
on the stand. (Fig. 4)
2)
The binocular tube is normally localed in the direction of the micro-
scope Iront, but it can be turned to any other direction, if necessary.

of an eyepiece micrometer (19 mm in diameter) I
An eyepiece micrometer (10 ITlm/lCO) (optionally available) can be
inserted
into the eyepiece CWHK10X in the following procedure:
1) Remove the retaining ring (I) from the 10\o"ler end of the eyepiece i
and place the micrometer on the retaining ring with the reticle-·
engraved surface, facing
downward. (Fig. 5) ?
* Be certain to clean the micrometer disc before inserting into the
eyepiece.
2) Return the retaining ring inlO the eyepiece and insert the eyepiece'
into the eyepiece tube. _

II Mounting the objectives
l} Lower the stage by means of the coarse adjustment knobs.
2} Screw the objectives into the nosepiece, from low power to higher
power in aclockwise direction. (Fig. 6)
*Close the empty aperture in the nosepiece with aplug (I) provided.

II Mounting the mechanical s ... ta..,9 .... e _
Place the mechanical stage on the plain stage 0), with the specimen
traversing guide closest to the microscope pillar, and tighten the
stage clamping knobs (2; with a coin (Fig.7}
•Insertion of stage clips
The plain stage is pre-drilled for insertion of the stage clips when the
mechanical slClge is not attached (see page 4).

II Mounting the condenser
Insert the condenser into the condenser holder (2Jfrom below,
with the condenser iris diaphragm lever, pointing in the microscope
front. and tighten the clamping sere'.'v (i). (Fig.8)
