Section 1 | Safety Instruction

Summary

This instrument was built and tested in accordance with the safety regulations as specified below:

Gb9706.1-1995 medical electrical equipment

Note

：

Safety instruction labels on the instrument must be kept in the original place to

avoid an accident, personal injury, or damage to the instrument.

Safety Notes

The following instructions are regarding the transport, installation, regulation, operation

and maintenance of the instrument which must be read and complied with.

Warnings-Transport and Installation

The instrument may only be transported in an upright position.

Never lift the instrument by the hand wheel or the cassette clamp. Always

remove the section waste tray and blade holder before transporting the

instrument.

Check to make sure that the voltage available at your facility complies with the

requirements of this unit.

Connect the unit using the power cable provided. It is critical to connect to a

grounded socket.

Do not operate in rooms with explosion hazards.

Do not tamper with the safety devices of the unit.

Warnings-Operation

Take great care in handling microtome blades. The cutting edge is extremely

sharp and can cause serious injury.

Always remove the blade and put in a safe location before detaching the blade

holder from the unit.

Always clamp the specimen block before inserting or clamping the blade.

Always keep the hand wheel locked when handling the blade or specimen on

the unit. Cover the cutting edge with the blade guard.

Place the blade guard over the blade when sectioning.

General Data Healthcare, Inc.

Make sure that liquids do not enter the interior of the instrument.

Do not touch the hand wheel while the unit is automatically sectioning to

avoid personal injury and damage to the unit.

Warning- Maintenance and Cleaning

Only authorized and qualified service personnel may access the internal

components of the instrument for service and repair.

Before each cleaning, switch the unit off, disconnect the power plug, and

remove the blade holder completely and clean it separately.

Lock the hand wheel before each cleaning.

Do not use any solvents containing acetone or xylene for cleaning.

Make sure that liquids do not enter the interior of the instrument when

cleaning.

Let the unit dry completely before powering up again.

Turn the unit off and disconnect the power plug before replacing fuses. Only

use fuses of the same specification and replace them as described in the

manual.

Safety Devices

Hand wheel Locking Mechanism

There are two hand wheel locking mechanisms.

• Locking mechanism indicated by (1) on the

diagram can be engaged by flipping the

corresponding switch and rotating the hand wheel to

the upper most position where it will lock into

position.

• Locking mechanism indicated by (2) on the

diagram can be engaged in any position of the hand

wheel by rotating the handle 180° clockwise. To

unlock, rotate 180° counter clockwise.

• If lock (1) is engaged, the LOCK LED indicator

will illuminate on the display panel.

Do not lock the hand wheel (1) when the hand

wheel is rotating as it will damage the unit.

When cleaning the unit, changing the specimen,

or changing the blade, make sure the hand wheel

is locked with either mechanism (1) or (2).

Blade guard

• Position the blade guard ( 3 ) over the blade when

not operating the unit to avoid personal injury and

prevent damaging the blade edge.

• The blade guard（3）in Fig is shown in the up

position where it protects the blade.

Emergency Stop Function

• In case the operator needs to stop all the functions

of the microtome, the emergency stop button (4)

can be pressed. It turns off all power to the unit.

• To reset the unit after an emergency stop, de-

energize the unit using the ON/OFF switch located

to the right of the power cord. Then rotate the

emergency stop button clockwise until it clicks.

• You can now energize the unit and restart

sectioning.

Section 2 | Performance & Specifications

Performance Index

SHURCut™ 4500 is a fully automatic motorized rotary microtome. The stepper motor operates

the specimen movement forward and back, and the coarse feed. In addition, the microtome

sections automatically at the touch of a button. It is better in precision sectioning and provides

ease of use.

• The motorized coarse feed operates two speeds for versatility.

• Operator’s hand pad provides an ergonomic interface for the user.

• Retraction function helps give optimum quality sections.

• Automatic memorized coarse feed and reload fast is provided to improve efficiency during

sectioning.

• Three motorized sectioning modes (Continuous, Single, and Manual) are available which

the operator can easily switch through.

• A foot switch accessory allows for the operator to control the automatic sectioning.

Display Panel

• The value in the first line of the display window is the set sectioning or

trimming thickness.

• The value in the second line of the display window is the section or trim

counter and section or trim thickness sum (total advance).

• The system is in trimming mode after the instrument is energized.

Indicator Light

• POWER LED - Indicates the unit being powered ON.

• ERROR LED - Indicates coarse feed operation error and sounds an

alarm at the same time.

• LOCK LED - Indicates the handwheel is locked and it will not perform

automatic sectioning.

Sectioning Mode Indicator Light

Using the MODE button, the operator can choose between 3

sectioning modes that are then indicated with corresponding LED

lights:

• CONT - The unit will go into continuous mode. This indicates that once

the operator presses the RUN button, the unit will automatically section

until the operator presses the RUN button again to stop.

• SINGLE - The unit will go into single sectioning mode. This indicates

that once the operator presses the RUN button, the unit will take a single

section from the specimen until the RUN button is pressed again to take

another section.

• MANUAL - The unit will go into manual mode which allows the

operator to use the hand wheel to section the specimen.

Sectioning Mode selection button

• Press the MODE button to choose desired operating sectioning mode:

CONT, SINGLE, OR MANUAL
