Once removed from the crate, the instrument may only be transported in an upright position.<br />
Do not transport the instrument by holding it by the handwheel grips, coarse driving wheel or<br />
the knob for setting the section thickness.<br />
The protective devices on both instrument and accessories must neither be removed nor modified.<br />
Take care when handling microtome knives and disposable blades. The cutting edge is<br />
extremely sharp and can cause severe injury!<br />
Always remove the knife / blade before detaching the knife holder from the instrument. Always<br />
put the knives back into the knife case when not in use!<br />
Never place a knife anywhere with the cutting edge facing upwards and never try to catch a<br />
falling knife!<br />
Always clamp the specimen block BEFORE clamping the knife.<br />
