• In the operating mode NORMAL, a rim is
shown on the display around the TRIM value

• When this mode is activated, turn the knob to
alter the value.
• During each handwheel rotation, the specimen
holder is moved forwards by the preselected
trimming value in the upper reversal point.
Note:

feed can be released, even if the fine
mode is active.
• Whenever the knob (fig. 11.2) is pressed, the
