CARRIERS
Hazard of hand injuries:
Due to moving parts in connection
also with the microtome knife, a
danger area arises, which might lead
to hand injuries in case of non-compliance with
the safety features of the microtome and when
disregarding the instruction manual.
The knife carriers of the microtome are easy to
use, can be moved sideways and are equipped
with knife guards for user safety while adjusting
knife and specimen.
3-10-1 DISPOSABLE BLADE CARRIER ER
The disposable blade carrier ER is designed to
take all commercially available high and low
profile blades.
Using low profile blades:
•
Insert the blade into the slot behind the
clamping plate (fig. 19.5).
•
For this, turn the clamping lever (fig. 19.7)
towards the front. Swing the bracket with scale
(fig. 19.4) to the front.
•
Loosen the clamping lever (fig. 19.7) and, if
necessary, slightly push the lower part of the
clamping plate (fig. 19.5) as well.
•
Insert the blade on the rail (fig. 19.3) and push
it from the side to the middle.
•
Afterwards, return the clamping lever (fig.
19.7) upright, thus locking the blade in
position.
•
The bracket (fig. 19.4) is provided with a
scale.
•
After loosening the clamping lever (fig. 19.2)
and after having moved the bracket (fig. 19.4)
upwards, move the blade together with the
entire upper part without having to loosen the
blade clamping.
•
This way, the entire cutting length of the blade
can be used.
•
Then tighten the clamping lever (fig. 19.2).
•
The lever (fig. 19.2) can be removed by
pulling it off towards the side.
