7. Daily Use of the Instrument

The safety gloves included in the stan-
dard scope of delivery must be worn
when disposing of the blade!
5. Once the blade has been removed from the
blade holder, it is disposed of into the dis-
penser container (storage compartment in
bottom, Fig. 34).
Lateral movement
It is only necessary to clamp a disposable blade
into the CE holder one time. When a portion of the
blade becomes dull or nicked, the upper portion
of the blade holder (shown on its base in Fig. 35)
will move from side to side to allow the use of the
entire blade edge. When moved, the alignment of
block to blade will be very close to the previous
position since the clamping pressure on the blade
remains the same.
To reposition the blade holder, follow these steps:
1. Turn the clamping lever (14) to the rear (clock-
wise) to release, and then shift the blade
holder sideways to the desired position.
2. To tighten, turn the clamping lever (14) to the
front (counterclockwise).
