Description
The Leica A60 S 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.

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 rela-
ting to accident prevention and environmental
protection.
EC Declaration of Conformity
Electrically operated accessories are construc-
ted based on the state of the art of technology
and are provided with an EC Declaration of
Conformity.
Important Notes
Leica A60 S Manual 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.
The Leica A60 S stereomicroscope can be used
in clean rooms.
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 electri-
cal 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 descri-
bed in this user manual have been tested
for safety and potential hazards.
Instructions on use
Leica A60 S Manual 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 following
all applicable safety instructions, laws and
guidelines.
Instructions on use (continued)
Leica A60 S Manual 8
Health risks
Workplaces with stereomicroscopes faci-
litate 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:
ϘOptimum workplace layout
ϘFrequent changes of activity
ϘThorough 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 indivi-
dual or detachable eyecups.
Dangers during use
ϘThe stereomicroscope must be connected
to a grounded outlet.
ϘThe stereomicroscope may be used when it
is in proper working condition only.
Health risks and dangers of use
Leica A60 S Manual 9
Information for the person responsible for
the instrument
ϘEnsure that the stereomicroscope is used
only by persons qualified to do so.
ϘEnsure that this manual is always available
at the place where the stereomicroscope is
in use.
ϘCarry out regular inspections to make
certain that the authorized users are
adhering to safety requirements.
ϘWhen instructing new users, do so
thoroughly and explain the meanings of
the warning signs and messages.
ϘAssign individual responsibilities for star-
ting, operating and servicing the instru-
ment and monitor the observance of these
responsibilities.
ϘOnly use the stereomicroscope in proper
condition.
ϘInform 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.
ϘIf 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.
ϘModifications to or service on the stereo-
microscope may be carried out only by
technicians who are explicitly authorized
by Leica to do so.
ϘOnly original Leica replacement parts may
be used in servicing the product.
ϘAfter service work or technical modifica-
tions, the device must be readjusted in
accordance with our technical specifica-
tions.
ϘIf the unit is modified or serviced by
unauthorized persons, is improperly
maintained (as long as maintenance was
not carried out by us), or is handled impro-
perly, Leica will not accept any liability.
ϘThe 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 Manual 10
General Instructions
ϘProtect the stereomicroscope from mois-
ture, fumes and acids and from alkaline,
caustic and corrosive materials. Do not
store chemicals in the vicinity.
ϘProtect the stereomicroscope from oil and
grease. Never grease or oil mechanical
parts or sliding surfaces.
ϘFollow the instructions of the disinfectant
manufacturer.
ϘWe recommend concluding a service
contract with Leica Service.
Cleaning coated parts and plastic parts
ϘDust and dirt particles should be removed
with a soft brush or lint-free cotton cloth.
ϘRemove coarse debris with a moistened
disposable cloth.
ϘAcetone, xylene or nitro-containing thin-
ners must NOT be used.
ϘNever use chemicals to clean colored
surfaces or accessories with rubberized
parts. This could damage the surfaces, and
specimens could be contaminated by abra-
ded particles.
Cleaning glass surfaces
ϘRemove dust using a fine, dry and grease-
free brush made from hair, by blowing with
a squeeze blower, or by using a vacuum.
ϘRemove dirt using a clean cloth that has
been moistened with distilled water.
ϘRemove tough dirt using alcohol, chloro-
form or petroleum ether.
