General Instructions

Safety concept

Before using your microscope for the rst time,

please read the "Safety concept" brochure

included with your instrument. It contains addi-

tional information about handling and care.

Use in clean rooms

The Leica M series can be used in clean rooms

without any problems.

Cleaning

★Do not use any unsuitable cleaning agents,

chemicals or techniques for cleaning.

★Never use chemicals to clean colored

surfaces or accessories with rubberized

parts. This may damage surfaces and

abraded particles may contaminate prepa-

rations.

★In most cases, we can provide special solu-

tions on request. Some products can be

modied, and we can oer other accesso-

ries for use in clean rooms.

Servicing

★Repairs may only be carried out by Leica

Microsystems-trained service technicians.

Only original Leica Microsystems spare

parts may be used.

Responsibilities of person in charge of

instrument

★Ensure that the Leica stereomicroscope

is operated, maintained and repaired by

authorized and trained personnel only.

Important Safety Notes

User Manual

The individual modules of the Leica M stereo-

microscopy series include an interactive

CD-ROM with all relevant user manuals in

20other languages. Keep it in a safe place, and

readily accessible to the user. User manuals and

updates are also available for you to download

and print from our web site at www.stereomi-

croscopy.com.

This operating manual describes the special

functions of the individual modules of the Leica

M stereomicroscopy series and contains impor-

tant instructions for their operational safety,

maintenance, and accessories.

The "Safety concept" booklet contains additional

safety information regarding the service work,

requirements and the handling of the stereomi-

croscope, accessories and electrical accessories

as well as general safety instructions.

You can combine individual system articles

with articles from external suppliers (e.g. cold

light sources, etc.). Please read the user manual

and the safety requirements of the supplier.

Before installing, operating or using the instru-

ments, read the user manuals listed above. In

particular, please observe all safety regulations.

To maintain the unit in its original condition

and to ensure safe operation, the user must

follow the instructions and warnings contained

in these user manuals.

Safety Regulations

Description

★The individual modules fulll the highest

requirements for observation and docu-

mentation of Leica stereomicroscopes of

the M series.

Designated use

★Refer to "Safety Concept" booklet

Non-intended use

★Refer to "Safety Concept" booklet

Never use M series microscopes or their compo-

nents for surgical procedures (e.g. on the eye)

unless they are specically intended for that

purpose.

The instruments and accessories described in

this operating manual have been tested for

safety and potential hazards. The responsible

Leica aliate must be consulted whenever

the instrument is altered, modied or used in

conjunction with non-Leica components that

are outside of the scope of this manual.

Unauthorized alterations to the instrument or

noncompliant use shall void all rights to any

warranty claims!

Place of use

★Refer to "Safety Concept" booklet

★Set up the electrical components at least

10cm from walls and combustible objects.

★Avoid large temperature uctuations,

direct sunlight and vibrations. These condi-

tions can distort measurements and micro-

graphic images.

★In warm and warm-damp climatic zones,

the individual components require special

care in order to prevent the buildup of

fungus.

Responsibilities of person in charge of

instrument

★Refer to "Safety Concept" booklet

Ensure that:

★The M series stereomicroscopes and

accessories are operated, maintained and

repaired by authorized and trained person-

nel only.

★All operators have read, understood and

observe this User Manual, and particularly

the safety regulations.

Leica M-series User Manual 6

Safety Regulations (cont'd.)

Repairs, service work

★Refer to "Safety Concept" booklet

★Only original Leica Microsystems spare

parts may be used.

★Before opening the instruments, switch o

the power and unplug the power cable.

★Touching the live circuit can cause injury.

Transport

★Use the original packaging for shipping or

transporting the individual modules of the

Leica M stereomicroscopy series and the

accessory components.

★In order to prevent damage from vibrations,

disassemble all moving parts that (accord-

ing to the user manual) can be assembled

and disassembled by the customer and

pack them separately.

Installation in third-party products

Health risks

Workplaces equipped 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, asthe-

nopia and musculoskeletal problems may

occur. For this reason, appropriate measures

for reduction of the workload must be taken:

optimal arrangement of workplace, work

assignments and work ow (changing tasks

frequently), thorough training of the personnel,

giving consideration to ergonomic and organi-

zational aspects.

The ergonomic design and construction of the

Leica M stereomicroscopy series are intended to

reduce the exertion of the user to a minimum.

Direct contact with eyepieces can be a potential

transmission path for bacterial and viral infec-

tions of the eye.

The risk can be kept to a minimum by using

personal eyepieces for each individual or

detachable eyecups.

Leica M-series User Manual 7

Safety Regulations (cont'd.)

Light sources: safety regulations

Protective measures of the manufacturer:

★UV protection screen in front of the speci-

men plane prevents the user from looking

directly into the UV rays.

★Dummy lter carriers in the free positions

of the rapid lter changer prevent direct UV

radiation from reaching the eyes.

★UV lters are installed in the observation

beam paths to protect the eyes.

★The stray-light protection on the lamp

housing prevents irradiation of the hands.

Warning

★UV radiation could damage the eyes.

Therefore:

★Never look into the light spot on the speci-

men plane without a UV protection screen.

★Never look into the eyepieces if no excita-

tion lter is in the beam path.

★Fill empty lter positions with dummy lter

carriers (e.g. M165 FC).

★Do not select a white, strongly reective

background for the specimen.

Supply unit

Always unplug the supply unit from the power

supply:

★When installing and disassembling the

lamp housing

★Before opening the lamp housing

★When replacing the high-pressure mercury

lamp and other parts, such as the heat-

absorbing lter or the collector

★During maintenance work on the supply

unit

Leica M-series User Manual 8

Safety Regulations (cont'd.)

Lamp housing

★Never open the lamp housing while the

lamp is switched on. Risk of explosion, UV

exposure, blinding!

★Before opening the lamp housing, allow it

to cool o for at least 15 minutes. Danger

of explosion!

★Never cover the air duct on the lamp hous-

ing. Danger of re!

Mercury lamp

★Follow the user manual and safety regula-

tions provided by the lamp manufacturer,

and, in particular, the section on how to

proceed if a lamp breaks and releases

mercury.

★For transport, remove the mercury lamp,

transport it in its original packaging and

protect moving parts in the lamp housing

using the transport anchors.

★When it has reached the end of its rated life

(follow the manufacturer's specications

and the minute meter on the supply unit).

★To minimize the risk of explosion, replace a

discolored mercury lamp promptly.

★Leica Microsystems assumes no liability

for damage caused by exploding, incor-

rectly installed or improperly used mercury

lamps.
