The clearance angle between blade and
specimen must be adjusted in the same way
as the clearance angle between knife and
specimen is adjusted.
Protection against injury

The knife carrier of the instrument is equipped
with a knife guard which can be moved
sideways.
•
This knife guard should be used while knife

This reduces the danger of injury considerably!
