• The drawer for broken glass (77) is located
above the slot for the ink cartridge, behind
the left cover (5). It prevents glass dust and
broken glass from falling into the interior of
the instrument. The drawer can be pulled out
sideways by grasping the black handle (78)
and must be cleaned regularly ( Fig. 52 ).
• Broken glass can easily be removed - use a
brush and remove any glass through the open-
ing in the center of the drawer.
