CLAMPS
Frequent use of the clamping lever (fig. 12.1) can
lead to the fact that the specimen clamps cannot be
clamped optimally anymore. If the necessary
readjustments are not carried out, it might even be
possible that the specimen clamp cannot be
clamped anymore by means of the clamping lever
(fig. 12.1).
The clamping lever (fig. 12.1) should be in an
almost upright position. To determine the clamping
position of the clamping lever, adjust the inner
screw (fig. 13.1) on the rear side of the orienting
adapter by means of an allen key
(size 3 mm).
Turn the allen key in a clockwise direction if no
clamping was achieved at all or if the clamping
position of the clamping lever is too high.
If the clamping position of the clamping lever is too
low, turn the allen key in a counter-clockwise
direction.

Then insert the specimen clamp and check
clamping position. If necessary, repeat above-
described process.
