Safety concept

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 addi- tional safety information regarding the service work, requirements and the handling of stereo- microscope, accessories and electrical accesso- ries 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 instruc- tions.

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.
