Operating Instructions
Cut through the bands around the carton.
• Open the carton.
• Remove the accessories.
• On the lower front and rear side of the instrument, there are two
recessed grip to lift and carry the microtome
Note!
Do not use the hand wheel handles to lift or carry the instrument.
• Lift the microtome out of the carton.
• Choose a place for the microtome where the mains switch can be
reached at all times.
• Place the microtome on a stable and vibration free table, as sectioning
can be influenced by nearby instruments which generate vibrations.
• Hand wheel must be free and accessible in a comfortable way.
• Remove the separately packed section waste tray and install it at the
base plate from the front side.
• Remove the separately packed cover plate and place it on the top of
the microtome.
• In the rear part at the bottom of the instrument, there are sliding
feed for an easy moving of the microtome.
• Slightly lift the base at the front end only and slide the microtome
into place.
Note!
Remove the section waste tray to move or carry the instrument. The section
waste tray can be pulled out of its proper position.
Note!
A safe function of the Microtome is only ensured, if the equipment possesses
a temperature within the specified operating conditions (see technical data
sheet, page 16).We highly recommend that the Microtome rests at least 2
hours after unpacking at ambient temperature before switching it on for the
first time.
Note!
Before starting section, instrument, knife carrier and section waste tray
should be treated with the included or any other commercially available
paraffin repellent. This medium considerably reduces the adhesive property
of paraffin sections to the individual parts (see page 14 and 15, standard
and optional accessories)
