Repositioning the knife holder base
The one-piece knife holder base (rigid) (51) can
be moved forwards and backwards on the micro-
tome base plate.
This vertical displacement allows bringing the
knife holder into the optimal cutting position in
relation to the specimen.
• To release, rotate the clamping lever (50) on
the right side of the microtome base plate
counterclockwise.
• Reposition the knife holder together with the
knife holder base forward or backward as
appropriate.
• Secure the clamping mechanism by rotating
the lever (50) clockwise.
