The safety ring secures the instrument and must always be positioned beneath the horizontal arm.

￿Retighten the clamping screw.

￿Lower the horizontal arm onto the safety

ring, with its end pointing towards you.

The screw head must engage the notch. It limits the lateral movement. It may not be removed, and neither may the safety ring be milled down.

If the horizontal arm is swung out beyond the limit, the instrument may fall over.
