OPERATING PROCEDURE 

 
To bring the table to the starting position, pull out the Table Release Knob, slide it to the left and release it.  
Place the specimen on the centre of the table, switch on and press the Reset Switch.  The speed may be adjusted 
with the Speed Control Knob – clockwise to increase.  After the tissue has been cut into slices, the machine will 
automatically stop when the table reaches the end of its travel.  If it is required to cut the tissue into cubes, the 
table may be rotated through 90º and the procedure repeated. 
 
If the blade holder is removed for sterilising, we recommend sliding a piece of paper under the blade holder to 
prevent the nuts and washers dropping into the instrument. 
 
After sterilising the cutting table, apply a little paraffin wax to the underside before replacing it on the 
mounting disc.
