Memory Function

Note
The memory function is used to return to the same position as for first cuts. This function can only be used for the
setting with which blocks are cut, which have been embedded in the same molds. The blocks must be of similar
height.
•
To set the so-called "first-cut-position", move the specimen clam- ping forward with the coarse feed
knob [B] until the specimen is positioned close to the knife edge.
•
To store this position, press the button MEMO [5] for approx. 1 sec.
"Pos. stored" is then briefly shown on the display.
•
Then proceed with work (trimming, first-cuts, fine sectioning). When the work on the block has been
finished, briefly press the MEMO button. The specimen clamping then moves backwards to unclamp
the specimen and insert a new specimen.
The specimen surface is now in the "first-cut-position".
The stored cutting position can only be used effectively when blocks with the same height are cut.
Neither adjustments on the knife carrier nor the knife carrier must be moved on the consoles.
When moving the knife carrier, a new first-cut-position must be selected. Otherwise the danger of a
collision with injuries might arise.
When turning on the instrument again later, the first-cut-position must be selected and stored again for safety
reasons.
