3-9-4 READJUSTING SPECIMEN CLAMPS

Frequent use of the clamping lever (fig. 34.1) 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 (fig. 34.1).

• The clamping lever (fig. 34.1) should be in an

almost upright position.

• To determine the clamping position of the

clamping lever, adjust the inner screw (fig.

35.1) on the backside 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.
