Loading a Specimen Holder
To load either the Single Force of Central Force Specimen Holder:
1. Position the Power Head for easy loading of the specimen holder. Untighten the locking handle
(see Figure 3) on the left side of the Power Head to enable rotation of the head. Tighten the
locking handle once the Power Head is in place.
2. Move the Power Head into the desired position. (Buehler recommends the specimen be
approximately 1/3 off the edge of the platen in its outmost position.)
3. Rotate the locking handle clockwise to tighten and secure the Power Head into position.

4. To attach the Specimen Holder, raise the outer sleeve of the lift-lock chuck of the Power Head
