4 - settIng the VoLume
The volume of liquid to be aspi-
rated is set using the volumeter.
The dials are colored either
black or red to indicate the
position of the decimal point,
depending on the model (see
examples).
The volume is set by turn-
ing the thumbwheel or the
push-button. The push-button
makes it easier and quicker to
set volumes, especially when
wearing gloves. The thumb-
wheel may be turned using
only one hand to slowly reach
the required setting.
To obtain maximum accuracy when setting the volume,
proceed as follows:
 when decreasing the volume setting, slowly reach the
required setting, making sure not to overshoot the mark.

when
increasing
the volume setting, pass the required
value by 1/3 of a turn and then slowly decrease to reach
the volume, making sure not to overshoot the mark.
