Adjusting the specimen holder position
To obtain the best preparation results, you must adjust the position of the specimen holder in
relation to the preparation disc.
1.
Release the handles located on each side of
the specimen holder motor.
The handles are spring-loaded to increase
the range of movement.
2.
Pull the handle outwards to disengage the
torque moment on the screw.
3.
Move the specimen holder motor sideways
manually until you have found the correct
position. You can read the eccentricity on the
scale on the specimen holder motor.
4.
Turn the handle clockwise (or counter-
clockwise) to the desired position, then
release the handle to re-engage the torque
moment on the screw.
5.
Tighten the screws again.
