Pull the lever on the modular handle and insert the IM
rod (Figure 1). Orientation of the IM rod will align with
the polished line on the sides of the modular handle.
Technique Tip: Alternately, the IM rod may be
inserted into the top of the modular handle to
accommodate surgical preference.
Set the valgus angle on the adjustable valgus guide
by pressing the button and rotating the dial to the
appropriate left or right valgus angle from 0 degrees
to 9 degrees (Figure 2).
Avoid turning the locking knob excessively in the
counterclockwise, or "unlocking", direction to prevent
it from binding.

Note: If desired, align the depth markings on the IM
rod with the flat plate of the adjustable valgus guide
to set the IM rod at a specific length. Inserting the
IM rod beyond the double line marking, indicated
with caution symbols, may prevent assembly of the
modular handle to the IM rod (Figure 3).
Refer to Appendix C for Optional Instruments to
resect the distal femur.
Set the resection depth on the adjustable resection
tower by rotating the dial (Figure 4). The '0' setting
