Repositioning the knife holder base
The one-piece knife holder base (rigid) (
→
"Fig.
39- 2 ") can be moved forwards and backwards on
the microtome base plate.
This vertical displacement allows bringing the
knife holder into the optimal cutting position in
relation to the specimen.
• To release, rotate the clamping lever (
→
"Fig.
39- 1 ") on the right side of the microtome base
plate counterclockwise.
• Reposition the knife holder together with the
knife holder base forward or backward as
appropriate.
• Secure the clamping mechanism by rotating the
lever (
→
"Fig. 39- 1 ") clockwise.

The knife holder E with a water trough (
→
"Fig.
40") is only for low-profile blades.
The safety guard on knife holder E consists of a
red foldaway handle (
→
"Fig. 40- 1 ") . To cover the
cutting edge, fold the safety guard handle (
→
"Fig.
40- 1 ") clockwise as illustrated in the figure.
Tips
The clamping levers on the knife holder are not interchangeable. The two clamping levers ( (
→
"Fig.
40- 2 ") and (
→
"Fig. 40- 3 ") ) must remain in the position shown at all times, as otherwise isolated
malfunctions of the knife holder can occur.
