tion of ± 15 ° is possible.
2) Then tighten the screws to a torque of 1.5 Nm.
3) (
see fig. 9
) Apply silicone grease to the connector plugs and connect them.

6.2 Donning the prosthetic glove
For daily use, the Michelangelo Hand must be worn with the AxonSkin prosthetic glove. The glove
protects the mechanism against environmental influences such as moisture, dirt and dust.
For information about the use (putting on and taking off) and care of the prosthetic glove, please
refer to the instructions for use included with the prosthetic glove.
INFORMATION
Do not use silicone spray when putting on the prosthetic glove. This impairs the secure fit of the
glove and can limit the functionality of the product (hand).
