Hand Wheel Brake

For your personal safety, the hand wheel brake must always be activated when working on the
specimen holder or knife/blade carrier.

specimen holder and knife/blade carrier. This reduces the danger of being injured when adjusting the specimen
clamp and knife/blade carrier.

STOP symbol appears in the dis- play.
Turn the lever downwards to unlock the hand wheel brake. Pull the lever upwards in the
direction of the arrow to lock the hand wheel. The hand wheel cannot be turned with a locked
hand wheel brake.
