Description

The Leica A60S stereomicroscope meets

today's state of the art of technology. Neverthe-

less, hazards may still arise during operation.

The potential risks are described below.

Before installing, operating or using the

instrument, it is mandatory to read this

user manual. In particular, please observe all

safety instructions.

User manual

This user manual includes important instruc-

tions related to operating safety, maintenance

and accessories.

Your Leica A60 S stereomicroscope

includes an interactive CD-ROM

with all relevant user manuals. Keep it in

a safe place, and readily accessible to the

user. You can also download user manu-

als and updates from our website at

www.leica-microsystems.com

Legal requirements

Adhere to general and local regulations relat-

ing to accident prevention and environmental

protection.

EC Declaration of Conformity

Electrically operated accessories are

constructed based on the state of the art of

technology and are provided with an EC Decla-

ration of Conformity.

Important Notes

Leica A60 S User Manual Safety Instructions 6

Intended use

The Leica A60 S stereomicroscope is an opti-

cal instrument for improving the visibility of

objects through magniﬁcation and illumina-

tion.

The stereomicroscope may be used only in

closed rooms and must be placed on a solid

substrate.

Always position the stereomicroscope

so that you can disconnect the illu-

mination from the power supply at any time.

The power cable must remain accessible at all

times, because the power cable is intended as a

power disconnect device.

Place of use

Use the stereomicroscope in closed, dust-free

rooms at +10°C to +40 °C. Protect it from oil,

chemicals and extreme humidity. Install elec-

trical devices at least 10 cm from the wall and

away from ﬂammable substances.

In warm and warm-damp climatic zones,

the individual components require

special care in order to prevent the build-up of

fungus.

Non-intended use

Using the stereomicroscope in any way

other than that described in the user

manual may result in personal injury or damage

to property. Doing so can impair the functions

of the protective measures provided.

Never install any other plug (NEMA

5-15P) or unscrew any mechanical

components unless expressly instructed to do

so in the instructions.

The instruments and accessories

described in this user manual have been

tested for safety and potential hazards.

Instructions on Use

Leica A60 S User Manual Safety Instructions 7

The responsible Leica aﬃliate must be

consulted whenever the instrument is

altered, modiﬁed or used in conjunction with

non-Leica components that are outside of the

scope of this manual!

Unauthorized alterations to the instru-

ment or noncompliant use shall void all

rights to any warranty claims.

Transport

If at all possible, use the original packaging for

shipping or transporting individual modules.

In order to prevent damage from vibrations, the

customer should disassemble all moving parts

according to the user manual and pack them

separately.

Disposal

Disposal must comply with locally applicable

laws and regulations.

Integration in third-party products

When installing Leica products into third-party

products, the manufacturer of the complete

system or its dealer is responsible for follow-

ing all applicable safety instructions, laws and

guidelines.

Instructions on Use (Continued)

Leica A60 S User Manual Safety Instructions 8

Health risks

Workplaces with stereomicroscopes

facilitate and improve the viewing task,

but they also impose high demands on the eyes

and holding muscles of the user. Depending on

the duration of uninterrupted work at such a

workplace, impaired vision and problems with

the musculoskeletal system may occur. For this

reason, appropriate measures for reduction of

the workload must be taken:

OOptimum workplace layout

OFrequent changes of activity

OThorough training of the personnel, giving

consideration to ergonomic and organiza-

tional aspects

The ergonomic optical design and construction

of the Leica stereomicroscopes are intended to

reduce the exertion of the user to a minimum.

Danger of infection

Direct contact with eyepieces is a

potential transmission method for

bacterial and viral infections of the eye.

The risk can be kept to a minimum by

using personal eyepieces for each indi-

vidual or detachable eyecups.

Dangers during use

OThe stereomicroscope must be connected

to a grounded outlet.

OThe stereomicroscope may be used when it

is in proper working condition only.

Health Risks and Dangers of Use

Leica A60 S User Manual Safety Instructions 9

Information for the person responsible for

the instrument

OEnsure that the stereomicroscope is used

only by persons qualiﬁed to do so.

OEnsure that this manual is always available

at the place where the stereomicroscope is

in use.

OCarry out regular inspections to make

certain that the authorized users are adher-

ing to safety requirements.

OWhen instructing new users, do so thor-

oughly and explain the meanings of the

warning signs and messages.

OAssign individual responsibilities for start-

ing, operating and servicing the instru-

ment and monitor the observance of these

responsibilities.

OOnly use the stereomicroscope in proper

condition.

OInform your Leica representative or Leica

Microsystems (Schweiz) AG, Industry Divi-

sion, 9435 Heerbrugg, Switzerland, imme-

diately of any product defect that could

potentially cause injury or harm.

OIf you use accessories from other manu-

facturers with the stereomicroscope, make

sure that these manufacturers conﬁrm that

the combination is safe to use. Follow the

instructions in the user manual for those

accessories.

OModiﬁcations to or service on the stereomi-

croscope may be carried out only by techni-

cians who are explicitly authorized by Leica

to do so.

OOnly original Leica replacement parts may

be used in servicing the product.

OAfter service work or technical modiﬁca-

tions, the device must be readjusted in

accordance with our technical speciﬁca-

tions.

OIf the unit is modiﬁed or serviced by unau-

thorized persons, is improperly maintained

(as long as maintenance was not carried

out by us), or is handled improperly, Leica

will not accept any liability.

OThe electric installation in the building

must conform to the national standard, e.g.

current-operated ground leakage protec-

tion (fault-current protection) is suggested.

Information for the Person Responsible for the Instrument

Leica A60 S User Manual Safety Instructions 10

General Instructions

OProtect the stereomicroscope from mois-

ture, fumes and acids and from alkaline,

caustic and corrosive materials. Do not

store chemicals in the vicinity.

OProtect the stereomicroscope from oil and

grease. Never grease or oil mechanical

parts or sliding surfaces.

OFollow the instructions of the disinfectant

manufacturer.

OWe recommend concluding a service

contract with Leica Service.

Cleaning coated parts and plastic parts

ODust and dirt particles should be removed

with a soft brush or lint-free cotton cloth.

ORemove coarse debris with a moistened

disposable cloth.

OAcetone, xylene or nitro-containing thin-

ners must NOT be used.

ONever use chemicals to clean colored

surfaces or accessories with rubberized

parts. This could damage the surfaces,

and specimens could be contaminated by

abraded particles.

Cleaning glass surfaces

ORemove dust using a ﬁne, dry and grease-

free brush made from hair, by blowing with

a squeeze blower, or by using a vacuum.

ORemove dirt using a clean cloth that has

been moistened with distilled water.

ORemove tough dirt using alcohol, chloro-

form or petroleum ether.
