Please note that the finger protection guard may be engaged throughout processing (exchange
of blade, lateral displacement, trimming, cutting), thereby increasing operation safety!
Do never move your fingers or hands above or behind the blade holder during operation of the
microtome. For loading and unloading of the sample holders and exchange of disposable blades
in the disposable blade holder, always activate the handwheel lock and activate the finger pro-
tection guard.
