Leica SP2600 Ultramilling attachment
Safety instructions - transport and installation
Caution!
Only the vacuum cleaner offered by
Leica or other vacuum cleaner brands
rated at 230 V/ 50 Hz and a maximum
power draw of 4 A can be connected
directly to the SM2500 control unit (see
page 17), and this only in countries
where the mains supply is 230 V / 50
Hz!
Otherwise, the vacuum cleaner must
be connected directly to mains and op-
erated via the on/off switch of the
vacuum cleaner.
Safety instructions - inserting the millers into the
holders / working with the calibrating device
Twisted or deformed springs for the
miller holders must be exchanged!
When the millers are inserted into the
holders the letter V (pre-millers) or F
(finishing miller) must be visible for the
milling edge to point into the right di-
rection.
Caution:
The gauge contact plate must never hit
the milling edge.
This could damage the surface of the
contact plate, leading to incorrect
measuring results.
Be very careful when drawing the con-
tact plate close to the milling edge.
Always use the magnifier.

Safety instructions -
working with the instrument
Never remove or modify any of the
safety devices installed on the instru-
ment and/or accessories!
Never touch the milling spindle while
the plexiglass cover is shut, no matter
whether the spindle is rotating or not.
Always slide the plexiglass cover to
the upper position prior to attaching
the miller holders to the milling
spindle!
Wear protective gloves when working
with potentially infectious material!
Always slide the plexiglass cover to
the upper position prior to checking
the distance between milling edge
and specimen surface! - Risk of in-
jury!
Always check the distance between
miller cutting edge and specimen sur-
face thoroughly prior to milling!
Under no circumstances may the
miller cutting edge be positioned more
than a few microns (= selected milling
thickness) below the specimen sur-
face when starting the milling proce-
dure.
When spraying alcohol to moisten the
specimen surface, remove excess liq-
uid as soon as it starts accumulating.
Do not operate near open flames or
near other sources of ignition!
No liquids may enter the interior of the
instrument during operation!
