• You can continue with your working routine.
The yellow LED (41) in the COARSE FEED button lights up (Fig. 16).
• Feed stops once the front end position has been reached; further
sectioning is no longer possible in that position.
• You can continue to work on the specimen by pressing the corre-
sponding coarse feed button in the rear end position (HOME) and
continuing with sectioning.
Caution!
To do so, you must press TRIM/SECT to switch to trimming mode,
as otherwise, you cannot use the coarse feed.
If the specimen head is already in the remaining feed range when
the instrument is switched on, an additional acoustic signal is
heard after the software version is displayed.
• You can continue to work on the specimen by moving it back a short
distance using the coarse feed buttons (set trimming mode!).
• The STEP function is disabled in the remaining feed range.
The visible and audible remaining feed indica-
tion feature informs the user during trimming
and sectioning when a remaining feed of ap-
proximately 1 mm is available before the front
limit is reached.
The yellow LED (41) in the COARSE FEED button
lights up from the beginning of the remaining feed.
In addition, an acoustic signal is heard for ap-
prox. 2 seconds.
From this point on, a remaining feed of approx.
1 mm is available.
In the remaining feed area, no more object
feeding to the knife is possible using the coarse
feed buttons.
