Re-Adjusting Specimen Clamps - Thermo Scientific HM340E Operation Manual

Re-Adjusting Specimen Clamps

Note
Frequent use of the clamping lever can result in loss of optimal clamping strength. If the necessary readjustment is
not carried out, it might be possible that the specimen clamp does not clamp anymore.
The clamping lever [a] should be in an almost upright position.
•
To determine the clamping position of the clamping lever [a], adjust the inner screw [c] on the backside
of the orienting adapter [d] us- ing an allen key (size 3 mm).
•
Turn the allen key in a clockwise direction if no clamping is possible or if the position of the clamping
lever [a] is too high.
•
If the clamping position of the clamping lever [a] is too low, turn the allen key in a counter-clockwise
direction.
