Inserting the Blade
•
The blade is inserted into the slot behind the clamping plate.
Note
When using high profile blades first loosen the lever and remove the spacer strip.
•
For this, push in the stop bolt and turn clamping lever in a counter clockwise direction over the
stop bolt.
•
Remove the clamping lever together with the eccentric bolt.
•
First remove the clamping plate and then the spacer strip (if necessary).
•
Fix the clamping plate with the clamping lever again in the blade carrier in reverse order.
•
To insert the blade, now loosen the clamping lever.
•
Press the clamping plate on its lower area to open the slot behind the clamping plate.
•
Insert the blade from the left side into the slot behind the clamping plate as far as possible.
•
Tighten the clamping lever fixing the blade in its position.
•
To section the specimen, put the anti-roll plate against the blade via the turning lever in a
counter clockwise direction.
If the cutting area of the blade is no longer usable, the blade carrier can be moved:
•
The blade itself is clamped solidly into the blade carrier. The complete carrier is moved.
•
Open the clamping lever for the carrier and move the carrier to the left or right side.
•
Tighten the clamping levers to fix this position.
To avoid the danger of injury on the knife during adjustment of specimen, always position the
knife guards over the blade edge.
