The thumb position needs to be adjusted for certain grips. Two different adjustment options are
provided on the thumb for this purpose:

• 8S711=* prosthetic glove
Mediolateral thumb position:
This adjustment option allows the thumb to be
repositioned so it contacts the index and
middle fingers (tripod grip), or the index finger
only (pinch grip). The thumb position is
secured with an Allen screw on the bebionic
hand small and a number 2 slotted screw on
the bebionic hand medium. The medial end
stop can be adjusted with the screw when the
thumb is in the opposed position.
The adjustment screw is perpendicular to the
thumb axis and located under the gaiter.
Perform the following steps to make the adjust­
ments:
1) Turn off the energy supply to the terminal
device (e.g. button in the charging recept­
acle on the prosthetic socket or switch on
the elbow joint).
2) Separate the terminal device from the pros­
thetic socket.
3) Raise the gaiter on the wrist joint and
expose the adjustment screw.
4) Use a 3 mm Allen key for the bebionic hand
small and the spanner bit for the bebionic
hand medium on the mediolateral adjust­
ment screw on the CMC joint of the thumb.
5) Loosen the screw by turning it completely
counterclockwise twice.
Once the screw has been loosened, the
thumb is freely moveable and can be
repositioned manually.
