The universal cassette clamp allows a quick change system.
Clamp
To insert or remove the cassette from between the fixed [b] and
movable [c] jaws, pull the lever [a] to the front (in the direction of
the arrow).

To achieve optimal clamping keep the locating surface of the cassette free of
paraffin.
To insert or remove cassettes between the fixed [b] jaw and the
moveable jaw [c], move the lever [a] upwards.
To adjust the size of a cassette size which is not to the norm, use the
adjustment nut [d].
