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.
Fine adjustment of the anti-roll device

The fine adjustment of the anti-roll device is carried out via the knurled screw.
Selecting the clearance angle

•
Swivel the upper part of the blade carrier on the base until the desired clearance angle is reached.
•
The clearance angle can be read on the scale on the left side of the base.
•
Bring the clamping lever into clamping position.
•
The selected clearance angle is now fixed in its position.
Note
Usable cuts are only achieved at a clearance angle of 10° or more.
