• To insert the knife, the clamping screws [g] must be unscrewed
slightly so the knife can be pushed in from the side.
• The height of the knife is adjusted with the two knurled nuts [n].
If the cutting zone of the knife cannot be used anymore, it can be
moved over its entire length to the left and right side by loosening the
clamping screws [g]. This allows an optimal use of the entire knife edge.

!
When clamping the knife, please tighten the two clamping screws [g]
simultaneously.
The clearance angle between cutting edge and specimen can be shifted
and adjusted to the requirements of the tissue to be sectioned.
• Loosen the clamping lever [h] on the right side of the knife
carrier and move the upper part [k] of the knife carrier on the
base [a]. The adjusted clearance angle can be read on the side scale
of the upper part [k].
• Then turn the clamping lever [h] upwards to lock in the new
clearance angle.
The clamping lever [h] for the angle adjustment can be pulled off after
a correct angle setting to avoid that the angle is shifted accidentally.
Note!
By experience, usable cuts are only achieved at a clearance angle of 10° or
more.
