Start fine adjustment
If the Leica EM KMR2 is completely out of adjustment:
set the notch on the adjustment wheel
‘A’
and
the point on adjustment wheel
‘B’
to 12 o´clock using the 2 mm Allen Key provided.
This is then your starting point .
If the Leica EM KMR2 is adjusted for resin sectioning and you wish to have smaller
knife shoulders for cryosectioning then your starting point is the factory setting,
To start with, follow the scoring and breaking procedure as described in
chapter
5.2 and 5.3
.
Having a closer look at the knife shoulders (as described in chapter
5.4
), then
proceed turning fine adjustment
‘A’
or
‘B’
.
Note:
Fine adjustments ‘A’ and ‘B’ are very sensitive - only a
small turn within the scale is necessary.
Note:
Always begin with fine adjustment ‘B’ to set both
knife shoulders as small as possible.
Then use adjustment wheel ‘A’ to equalize either the
left hand or the right hand knife shoulder.
Note:
Before you adjust ‘A’ or ‘B’
make a note of its position so you can easily adjust
back to the factory setting if necessary.
