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 off for at least 15 minutes. Danger of explosion!

Never cover the air duct on the lamp hous- ing. Danger of fire!

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 specifications 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.
