Indication of remaining horizontal feed
The visible and audible remaining feed indication
feature informs the user during trimming and sec-
tioning when a remaining feed of approximately
1 mm is available before the front limit is reached.
The yellow LED (41) in the COARSE FEED button
lights up from the beginning of the remaining feed.
In addition, an acoustic signal is heard for approx.
2 seconds.
From this point on, a remaining feed of approx.
1 mm is available.
In the remaining feed area, no more object feed-
ing to the knife is possible using the coarse feed
buttons.
• You can continue with your working routine.
The yellow LED (41) in the COARSE FEED button lights up (Fig. 16).
• When the front end position is reached, no more infeed takes place; this
also means that no sectioning takes place.
• You can continue to work on the specimen by pressing the corresponding
coarse feed button in the rear end position (HOME) and continuing with
sectioning.

Caution!
To do so, you must press TRIM/SECT to switch to trimming mode, as
otherwise, you cannot use the coarse feed.
If the specimen head is already in the remaining feed range when
the instrument is switched on, an additional acoustic signal is heard
after the software version is displayed.
• You can continue to work on the specimen by moving it back a short
distance using the coarse feed buttons (set trimming mode!).
• The STEP function is disabled in the remaining feed range.
