Pressing the foot switch opens the
valve, releasing it closes it. This keeps
the operator's hands free to work with
the instrument.
The flow volume can be adjusted with
the metering screw (11).
The dispenser handle (12) is not re-
quired when using the foot switch and
can be folded upwards.
Proceed as follows:
• Set the metering screw (11) to mini-
mum.
• Carefully fold the dispenser handle
(12) back/up with your thumb and
index finger.

The foot switch (22) actuates the mag-
net valve of the dispenser.
It must be connected as described in
Chapter 4.6 .
The plug of the foot switch
MUST be screwed to the
socket. Otherwise hot paraf-
fin can escape, even if the
switch is not activated.
Take care when folding back
the dispenser handle! Hot
paraffin may come out of the
filler tube (14).
DANGER OF BURNS!
