roller grooves and the guide pipe into the capillary tube and Teflon core using guide pipe.
• Press the clamping element with the pressure roller back downwards and fold the wire units back up
again (wire electrode should be in the groove on the drive roller).
• Set the contact pressure with the adjusting nuts of the pressure unit.
