Getting Started
Water Supply
A plumbing kit is supplied with your machine. The kit is designed to connect to a common garden hose
connection. Keep in mind that most laundry and utility sinks have faucet mouths that have matching threads to
a garden hose.
Drain System
Your machine has a 6' (15.24cm) length of clear plastic tubing for a drain exit. Place the end of the tube in a
large plastic bucket on the floor. Beveling can be very absorbing work, so much so that you can find yourself
standing in two inches of water by the time you finish that gorgeous bevel! Pay close attention to the water
level, and dump the bucket when about 3/4 full. Use a reasonable sized drain bucket; one that will give you lots
of beveling time, but something you can handle without spilling it when it is almost full. Be careful where you
dump the bucket as glass grits and cerium settle very tightly in drain pipes and over time, can create problems.
If you have made the decision to use a diamond coolant, you will need a recirculating pump system such as an
aquarium or fountain pump.
DiscSystem
The grinding and polishing pads are adhesive-backed. To mount the pads to the
discs, peel off the paper backing and apply to flush surface of the blank discs.
When the pads become worn, just peel off and apply a new one. Be sure that the
blank disc is perfectly clean prior to attaching the new pad. Using a cleaner such
as acetone will insure that all residue is removed before applying new disc. Discs
are easily installed and changed by unplugging your machine, removing the
splash guard and unscrewing the disc. In order to unscrew the disc, the spindle
must be locked by pressing the disc from the back of the machine. Slowly rotate
the spindle until the pin locks in place, then unscrew the disc counter-clockwise.
The locking device will automatically back out when you release the locking pin.
Flexible Water Spout
You can change the direction of the water/coolant flow by adjusting the flexible spout. Fot optimum results, we
recommend that the coolant be directed to the center of the disc. The water flow is easily adjusted by the ball
valve in the back of the machine.
