FOOT SWITCH (where fitted)
Plug the foot switch into the socket on the lower front surface of the motor drive control box. When the motor drive is in
use, the left and right foot switches will duplicate the action of the stop and start buttons respectively.
1.2.11 SECTION COUNTER (where fitted)
The section counter is used to pre-set the number of cutting stokes from 1 to 9,999 strokes. Press the buttons on the
counter until the required number of sections is displayed, then press the reset button.
For each cutting stroke the counter display will increase by one, giving the number of sections cut until it reaches the pre-
set value when the red up light will illuminate and the drive will stop. To repeat the cycle, press the reset and start
buttons.
1.2.12 MOTORISED ADVANCE / REWIND (where fitted)
Do not operate the rewind motor when the cutting arm is in motion. Only operate the rewind motor
with the cutting arm at the rest position. The advance motor may be operated when the cutting arm
is in motion. Operating outside these parameters can cause damage to the mechanical
components of the machine.

wheel. The longer the switch is pressed the thicker the section. If ‘advance’ switch is pressed for more than 2
seconds, a faster advance of the specimen is achieved.
MOTORISED SPECIMEN REWIND

automatically stop when fully rewound.
2. To stop the specimen rewinding during the period, press ‘advance’ switch and release immediately.
