4.3 Withdrawing the insertion tube
WARNING
• The distal end of the insertion tube becomes hot just after use in high-temperature
atmospheres. Do not touch it directly to avoid burns.
CAUTION
• Do not withdraw the insertion tube while its angulation is locked or while your finger is placed
on the [ANGLE] joystick. Otherwise, the insertion tube and/or observation target may be
damaged.
• If the insertion tube is caught by something during withdrawal, turn the control unit gently
while continuing the withdrawal. Do not use excessive force to avoid damaging the insertion
tube or the object you are inspecting.

(Every time the [ANGLE LOCK] lever is pulled up and clicks, it changes from
locked to unlocked and vise versa.)
