Horizontal alignment
For safe and accurate work, it is important that
all instrument feet are in uniform contact with the
installation surfaces.
The microtome is horizontally aligned at the fac-
tory. If a completely level or horizontal surface is
not available at the installation site, the instrument
must be realigned.
To do so, the two instrument feet (25) on the right
side of the instrument are height-adjustable.
• For alignment, loosen the locknuts (26) using
a size 10 open-end wrench.
• Adjust the instrument feet (25) until the micro-
tome is in a stable position at the installation
location according to requirements.
• Retighten the locknuts.
Setting the Ergo handle
The Ergo handle (12), which is used to move the
knife sledge, can be set individually to an ergo-
nomic gripping position.
• To do this, loosen the fastening screw (10)
using a size 6 Allen key (28).
• Turn the handle (12) to the desired position
and retighten the screw (10).
