Why is it essential that always focus away from object when looking into microscope?

In the end you will have to look into it, but at the start, when everything is far out of focus there is a real danger that as you try to find the focus you will grind the lower (objective) lens into the object, possibly destroying it, and damaging the lens at the same time.

What power do you always begin on when you start looking at something under a microscope?

Actually, it depends on the specimen which you are observing.. Suppose, if you are observing Tissues then you have to switch to 10X objective; but if you are observing mammalian cells or other cellular specimen then you have to switch to 45X objective...But, if you want to observe microbial cells then you have to put a drop a drop of paraffin oil on the smear made on the slide and then observe it into 100X oil immersion objectivelens...
