Kowa’s VM series features a newly designed switch locking screw mechanism that prevents thumb screws from falling off by utilising a fixing screw that does not rotate in a set position.
The thumb screw locks into place by sliding the fixing screw to the right side. It can then be detached by sliding the fixing screw to the left side.
