Sectioning – Premium blade holder

Lateral movement

If the sectioning results are not satisfactory, the

blade holder (on the segment arc in figure 10 )

can be shifted sideways in order to use another

part of the blade, and to benefit from the entire

length of the blade.

1. Turn the clamping lever (14) clockwise to re-

lease, and then shift the blade holder sideways

to the desired position.

2. To tighten, turn the clamping lever (14) coun-

terclockwise.

Guide the brush with the magnet to the

cut‑resistant safety gloves included in

standard delivery must be worn when

disposing of the blade!
