OPERATION OF CUT 4062
7.1
INSERTION OF SPECIMEN IN STANDARD SPECIMEN CLAMP
Turn the handwheel to the highest position and activate the
handwheel lock (see chapter 3.1) and the finger guard.
Loosen the standard specimen clamp by turning the fixing
screw counterclockwise.
Remove the old specimen or insert a new one.
Loosening of object fixation and insertion of new object
Close the specimen clamp and fix the specimen by turning
the clamping screw (see fig.) clockwise.
Loosen the finger guard and the handwheel lock (see chap-
ter 3.1) to cut the specimen.
Closing of specimen clamp and fastening of object fixation
If the cassette is clamped horizontally (rotated 90°), it is rec-
ommended to use the supplied clamping block (item no.
34123507) to re-center the cassette. If the cassette is nor-
mally clamped vertically, this additional clamping block is
not used.
In order to bring the specimens closer to the middle section,
the clamping block must be clamped to the upper cheek.

Additional note:
In case you process exceptionally hard specimens, the required clamping force may not be achieved by simply tightening the
clamping screw. For these exceptional cases, an attachment for an open-end wrench SW17 is provided in the middle area
of the clamping screw. We would like to point out that very high clamping forces can occur when using tools and this can
lead to increased wear on the corresponding components.
