[. . . ] Open the clamping lever at the focusing drive connection (Fig. Remove the retaining washer from the connecting plug of the focusing drive. 1. 2) into the socket at the horizontal arm. 1 Focusing drive at the large horizontal arm 1 Clamping lever at horizontal arm 2 Plug of the focusing drive 12 1 User manual Leica swing-arm stands 21 Assembly of microscope carrier and stereomicroscope Microscope carrier focusing drive Remove the safety screw from the front side of the focusing drive. Position the microscope carrier so that the two positioning plugs (Fig. 1. 1) lock into the corresponding recesses at the microscope carrier. Insert the safety screw into the bore hole in the microscope carrier and retighten it with the Allen key. 1. 2) Stereomicroscope optics carrier Check and fix all levers and screws at the swing-arm stand and the focusing drive/arm before inserting the stereomicroscope into the microscope carrier. 2. 1) at the ring of the microscope carrier. Use both hands and carefully insert the stereomicroscope into the microscope carrier. 1 1 2 Additional notes about the assembly of microscope carriers and swing-arm stands can be found in the operating instructions M2-105-0en. They also contain additional adapters and accessories for attaching illumination to the Leica swing-arm stands (see the example on page 37). 1 Fig. 1 Placing the optics carrier on the horizontal arm 1 Connecting plug at the focusing drive 2 Hexagon-head screw for fixing the carrier Fig. 2 Inserting the stereomicroscope into the optics carrier 1 Screw for fixing the stereomicroscope 22 User manual Leica swing-arm stands User manual Leica swing-arm stands 23 Operation of swing-arm stands The following operating notes show the correct use of your swing-arm stand. Ensure that only personnel who has read and understood these operating instructions and particularly the safety instructions is working with a Leica swing-arm stand. In addition, check the correct seat of all levers and screws before every operating step. ESD swing-arm stand Leica swing-arm stands are optimized for stability and safe use. Nevertheless, the wrong combination of equipment, cantilever and swinging angle can cause the stand to tip over. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to read the safety instructions on page 12-13. Changing the cantilever Close all levers and screws. Open the rotary knob for the cantilever adjustment. 1. 1) Pull the horizontal arm out of the cross-member to the required cantilever. Close the rotary knob at the cross-member. Retighten the rotary knob for the height adjustment (Fig. [. . . ] 1. 1), you can swing up to ±30° with the maximum carrying load. 1) · For swinging angles >30° (Fig. 2), you must reduce either the weight or the cantilever at the stand. 2) · A list of typical equipment weights can be found on page 36/37. Examples for a typical application The following example demonstrates how you can determine whether the planned combination of stereomicroscope, equipment and swing-arm stand is permissible: · You want to use a standard horizontal arm with midsize base and inclinable focusing drive (10 447 256).
