Knife holder cleaning
Daily cleaning of specimen holder, take care to eliminate specimen and/or paraffin residuals.
Do not use xylene-based solvents to clean the knife holder and its components. We suggest using an oven at 65°C in order to melt the
wax and remove it using a dry cloth.
ATTENTION
Before cleaning, be sure that microtome is switched off and blade/knife is removed.
ATTENTION
Make sure that the
blade is removed
and the handwheel is
locked. When placing again the knife holder, take care that
pressing sphere side (in red) is placed as shown in picture:
