The visible and audible remaining feed indica- tion feature informs the user during trimming and sectioning when a remaining feed of ap- proximately 1 mm is available before the front limit is reached.
The yellow LED (41) in the COARSE FEED button lights up from the beginning of the remaining feed.
In addition, an acoustic signal is heard for approx. 2 seconds.
From this point on, a remaining feed of approx. 1 mm is available.
In the remaining feed area, no more object feeding to the knife is possible using the coarse feed buttons.
•You can continue with your working routine.
The yellow LED (41) in the COARSE FEED button lights up (Fig. 16).
•Feed stops once the front end position has been reached; further sec- tioning is no longer possible in that position.
•You can continue to work on the specimen by pressing the corre- sponding coarse feed button in the rear end position (HOME) and con- tinuing with sectioning.
Caution!
To do so, you must press TRIM/SECT to switch to trimming mode, as otherwise, you cannot use the coarse feed.
If the object head is already in the remaining feed range when the instrument is switched on, an additional acoustic signal is heard after the software version is displayed.
•You can continue to work on the specimen by moving it back a short distance using the coarse feed buttons (set trimming mode!).
•The STEP function is disabled in the remaining feed range.
