2-6-3 FINE FEED, MANUAL
After having adjusted knife and specimen as well
as having trimmed the specimen, sectioning can
be started.
The fine feed can be carried out either manually or
automatically. The desired feed mode can be
selected via the submenu "Automatic/Manual".
When the manual feed mode is activated, MAN is
shown in the lower line of the display.
The manual fine feed is carried out by briefly
pressing the arrow-up-button.
To generate sections, move the sledge towards the
front.
2-6-4 FINE FEED, AUTOMATIC
When the automatic feed mode is activated, AUT
ist shown in the lower line of the display.
The feed of the pre-selected section thickness is
always automatically carried out in the rear
reversal point of the sliding movement, regardless
of the position at which the sledge is moved
forwards again.
Note:
For optimal sections, always move the
sledge together with the knife to the
rear side over the entire specimen and
then move it forwards.
