This pusher or slider, sometimes referred to as the Polar push pin or Polar pushing plug, was originally made of black plastic. Ours is made of aluminum for added strength. It measures 9.5 mm in diameter (3/8") x 42 mm long (approximately 1 5/8"). It is used to release the false clamp latch pin assembly. (It is equivalent to Polar part number 241829.) This fits Polar guillotine paper cutter models 155 and 176. (It does not fit the Polar 76, 92, 115, or 137 models, these used a shorter slider.)
