blade holder, it is disposed of into the dis-
penser container (storage compartment in
bottom, Fig. 33).
Lateral movement
If the sectioning results are not satisfactory, the
blade holder (here on the base) can be shifted
sideways in order to use another part of the blade,
and to benefit from the entire length of the blade.
To do so, follow these steps:
1. Turn the clamping lever (14) to the rear (clock-
wise) to release, and then shift the blade
holder sideways to the desired position.
2. To tighten, turn the clamping lever (14) to the
front (counterclockwise).

The safety gloves included in the stan-
dard scope of delivery must be worn
when disposing of the blade!
