How to use

Hold the magnifier by its handle and position the lens between your eye and the object to be inspected. Adjust the distance between the lens and the object until the image is in focus; with 5× magnification the focal distance will be relatively short, so move the lens closer or farther as needed for a sharp view. For stable inspection, rest your elbow or forearm on a surface to reduce hand movement. Clean the lens before use with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear visibility.

Usage recommendations

Store the magnifier in a protective pouch or case when not in use to prevent scratches on the lens. Avoid exposure to strong solvents or abrasive cleaners; use mild lens cleaner or isopropyl alcohol applied to a soft cloth. When inspecting delicate items, maintain a steady hand and adequate lighting to combine the magnifier’s optical power with good contrast.
