Starting Magnification Tips
 A new or upgraded user to magnicaon will experience a normal
“adjustment” period.
 This is normal as you are adjusng to using your new loupes on two levels:
 Hand/Eye Coordinaon – geng used to working with a magnied eld.
 Improved Posture – geng used to sing more upright.
 For the 1 Week: Begin by working for 1-2 hours in the morning on simple
procedures.
 For the 2 Week: Gradually work your way to more complex procedures,
both in the morning and aernoon.
 Also, do not walk around with your telescopes on. Be sure to take them o
when walking around.

posion). (g 1)
2. Place the loupes at the lowest posion on the frame, then slowly raise
upward unl you achieve a comfortable ocular height. To hold V.P., make
sure the slide retainer screw is ghtened. (g 1)
3. Adjust the declinaon angle by moving the ocular rack unl your preferred
head lt is achieved. Then adjust the ocular rack to aain your line of
sight. (g 6)
4. Tighten all hinge screws with hex key (add slight tension) once you have
found your comfortable declinaon angle and alignment.
5. Posion yourself into your working posion and adjust the P.D. (pupillary
distance) knob (g 3) unl you have one image in an oblong/oval shape.

►ADJUSTING FLIP-UP TENSION
• Top Locking Screw
The whole loupe system can be ipped up to
open up your line of sight by simply rotang
link-hinge upwards (g 5). If you ip-up your
loupes frequently, leave this screw a lile
loose.
• Boom Locking Screw
Allows adjustment and locking of declinaon
angle (g 6). Maintains angle while ipped-
up or ipped-down. If you use your loupes at
dierent working postures, you should leave
this screw loose and allow the middle tension
screw to hold it in place.
• Middle Tension Screw
The level of ipping tension can be adjusted by
ghtening the middle screw. Tighten or loosen
the center screw so that the ip-up tension is
acceptable.
*Note: This hinge system is designed to work with the middle tension screw. The
top and boom screws are used for locking purposes.

►ADJUSTING P.D. (PUPILLARY DISTANCE)
1. Posion the loupes on your face and nose.
2. Using the P.D. knob (g 3), spread the oculars apart to the widest distance.
3. When looking through the oculars, focus on an object in front of you (such as
your thumb). If it is not in focus, move your thumb/object towards or away
from you unl you see it clearly.
4. With the other hand slowly adjust the P.D. knob unl you have one image in
an oblong/oval shape. (g 4)
Adjust pupillary (P.D. Knob) to a comfortable
setting where two images converge together.

• Adjusng Nose Pads for Too
High Oculars
Adjust the width of the nose pads
by bending the nose pad wire
mounts outwards (g 7). By doing
so, this will reduce the height of
the frame and lower the ocular
posion.
• Adjusng Nose Pads for Too
Low Oculars
Adjust the width of the nose pads
by bending the nose pad wire
mounts inwards (g 8). By doing
so, this will increase the height
of the frame and raise the ocular
posion.
• Adjusng Nose Pads for Low
Nose
If the nose pads are not evenly
placed on the bridge of the nose,
bend the wire mounts down and
away from the frame (g 9) and
readjust the width of the nose
pads if necessary. Note that the
wire mount lt angle depends on
the bridge of the nose. The less
nose bridge you have, the larger
the lt becomes to t your nose.
