Leica VT1000S – Vibrating-blade microtome

- The warning signal will cease

automatically after the initial-
ization phase.

- Retighten the loose clamping

screws.

If the clattering sound does
not cease once the clamping
screws have been retight-
ened, do not hesitate to call
the Technical Service imme-
diately.
Do not use the instrument
when in this condition.

- The visible clamping screws

have become loose during
sectioning.

These symptoms may occur
from time to time and are un-
avoidable, as the clamping
screws which have to be op-
erated by the user cannot be
sealed.
