4. Instrument Setup
Inclination (declination)
of the blade holder SE
• Unscrew the Allen screw (52) at the back of the
blade-holder base using an Allen key SW 6.
• Turn the blade holder to the required position.
• Set the required declination (inclination of the
blade holder to the cutting direction) on the
scale (55.1) at the back of the blade holder (67).
• On the grooved plate (60) there is an index
mark (55.2) which serves as a point of refer-
ence for the scale division when adjusting the
declination.
• For fixation, tighten the screw (52) firmly in the
required position.

Lateral movement
The lateral displacement feature enables the en-
tire cutting length of the blade to be used without
having to readjust the blade holder.
• To move the blade rail, turn the clamping lever
of the lateral displacement mechanism (19) on
the segment arc to the right into the "open"
position.
• Now the blade runner (20) can be moved later-
ally. To clamp, turn the lever (19) back to the
left.
The two triangular marks (27) indicate the area
in which the blade rail can be moved laterally,
relative to the circular mark (27.1).
