Here you are:
46. The base fuze DVZ 62(t) is a high-explosive direct action fuze. Screwed into the shell it is covered from the outside by a coverplate in the base of the shell and so can not be seen. The delay is.....Sec. When firing with delay, the red arrow on the shell bottom has to be oriented downwards when pushing it into the chamber. If the arrow is showing upwards, the fuze acts without delay. On the shell, for better recognition of the fuze setting, a red line is painted over its length. On the opposite side there is a white line. If the shell is oriented with the white line upwards, the fuze acts with delay. To set the shell right, also in the dark, the red linearrow on the shell base is marked by 2 (Krner ?) identations which one can feel.

This is something an english speaking artisan must know What is the right english name for the tool that in german is called a "Koerner". This small tool, with a pointed tip is used to arrest 2 screwed together parts in their final position. To unscrew these parts you mostly have to drill out the "Koernerpunkte". Please advice.
