6.2 Condenser

Screw the condenser head into the condenser.

Using the condenser height adjuster (5.4), turn the condenser holder (5.1) downward as far as it will go.

Unscrew the clamping screw for the con- denser (5.3) far enough so that the condenser can be inserted from the front.

From the front, insert the condenser into the condenser holder as far as it will go. On the underside of the condenser, there is an orien- tation pin (6.1) that must be locked into place in the guiding notch (7.1).

Tighten the condenser’s clamping screw (5.3) until the condenser locks into place.

Connect the condenser over the connection (8.1) with the stand.
