1. Unscrew micrometer spindle from the nut in the cylinder.
2. The end of the micrometer screw from the Cambridge Instruments Biocut 2030 microtome. An M3x12 screw in the cross hole to engage a 0.5" socket on a torque wrench.
3. Measure the torque at which the micrometer screw turns relative to the lever. Torque wrench in left hand. Lever held with right forefinger. The clutch should release at 1 Nm.
4. Using an a 5 mm wrench, adjust the clutch.
5. Repeat the torque measurement and adjustment until the clutch releases at 1 Nm torque. Can also be measured as 1.6 kg acting at the polymer insert at the end of the lever.
6. Thread the micrometer spindle back into the nut in the cylinder.
