3-6-2 TRIMMING AND FIRST CUTS
The feed can also be carried out in graduated
trimming stages. Trimming stages of 10 µm and
30 µm are available.
• For trimming stage 1 (10 µm), turn the
trimming lever (fig. 7.1) until a first resistance
can be felt and turn the handwheel at the
same time.
• For trimming stage 2 (30 µm), completely turn
the trimming lever (fit. 7.1).
Warning:
The trimming mechanism can only be
activated if the specimen is not in the
upper position!
• After the specimen is adjusted approximately
to the knife edge, turn the trimming lever (fig.
7.1) to further advance the specimen gradually
for the first cuts.
3-6-3 FINE FEED
• For the fine feed in µm-steps, turn the turning
knob (fig. 8.8) on the right side of the
instrument housing to the right or left side. The
setting can then be read in the window (fig.
8.7).
• The setting can also be adjusted on the left
side of the housing (fig. 9.1). A feed knob
which is currently not used, can be pulled off.
• The feed of the selected section thickness is
carried out automatically in the upper
specimen position when turning the
handwheel.
