2.10. Cleaning and Associated Care
Cleaning
Depending upon the level of dirt and contamination and upon the
frequency of use, regular cleaning and care of the rotary microtome is
recommended. The instrument is best cleaned using a mild domestic
cleaning agent. Do not use harsh solvents or cleaning compounds,
because paintwork and plastic components can be damaged by their
use.
Always remove the knife and stow in the knife box
prior to cleaning the instrument.
Important!
Never place a knife on a table or surface with the cutting edge
facing upwards. Thoroughly clean the bearing surfaces and contact
faces and the guide of the knife holder.
Associated Care
When the instrument is not in use, turn back the cylinder by means of
the coarse drive mechanism and lock the handwheel. Cover the instrument
with the cover supplied.
