Danger of explosion, UV radiation, danger of blinding!
• Avoid switching the lamp on and off frequently, as this
reduces its life.
• Hot mercury burners light only after they have cooled down.
• If possible, allow a new mercury burner to burn-in for 1–2
hours without interruption.
• Install the mercury burner very carefully, and without
applying pressure.
Burners can burst very easily.

hands. Fingerprints are burned on and reduce the light
quality. If necessary, carefully wipe off dust and fingerprints
using an alcohol-soaked cloth, then wipe dry.
