When electro - polishing, material is removed from the surface of the
workpiece by specic electrolytes used in conjunction with an external DC
source.
The material set free by the electrolyte is non - polluting and follows under
attening conditions. In contrast to mechanical removal processes, atte-
ning by electro - polishing begins in the micro range and includes, during
longer polishing periods, larger structures which are rounded and attened
off on their top surface. During electro - polishing, two different mechanisms
work simultaneously, one attens the upper surface in the micro range and
the other achieves ne deburring in the macro range.

5.2.1 Tips for optimal cleaning
With the Clean Marker brush attachment you can clean even inaccessible
parts. The short brush shows more powerfull performance, the long brush
is especially for big areas. Change the brush in time to avoid short circuits.
Q7474('LI([&HI:<=<>\(!;@RIEE
• screw on the brush attachment
• adjust the unit according to Chapter 5.1.1
• ll about 1 cm Greinox 1000, 2000, Polish or Rapid into the wide-neck
container; more can be lled into the containers for pump units
• moisten the tool
• run the tool over the oxide layer until the surface is clean
To avoid white edges on the work piece: polish the cleaned
work piece with the cleaning cloth supplied, lightly moistened
with water and Neutralyt.
Croping the brush will increase performance. However, this
may lead to short circuit signs.

5.3.1 Tips for maximum marking effect
Every electrolyte contains salts. Depending on the material, these salts
can have a strongly oxidizing effect. Extreme cleanliness must be used
when handling the chemicals. Avoid carry - over of electrolytes and wash
your hands frequently. Make sure of good power contact and moist felt.
Felt which is too dry restricts the ow of power. Stencils become clogged
with salts and metals after a while. They should also be rinsed and cleaned
frequently. Electrolyte can also be used for cleaning stencils. Small
surfaces can best be marked by simply pressing the felt on the stencil.
Larger areas are best marked by stroking the tool head several times over
the entire surface of the stencil. This takes between 1.5 and 2 seconds. If
the marking appears rusty, then either do not use the tool quite so long or
decrease the voltage. The tool should be held at right angles to the
work piece and the whole surface used for contact with the stencil.

the electrolyte ows better through the stencil
Do not allow the stencil to become too warm as this could lead to prema-
ture wear and tear. When electrolyte vaporises it leaves residues in the
stencil tissue. In time this reduces the clarity of the marking. Dark, i. e. dirty,
felts must be changed frequently and the larger the stencil, the quicker the
felt needs changing.
The results of lettering depend on various factors. The results can vary
depending on material or within a material batch. Test the lettering for
quality on a piece of waste material before beginning to work. The lettering
can usually be optimised by using various parameters and electrolytes. By
using switch (4) you can set whether the lettering should be dark or light.
The result differs with different materials.
More material is removed with light lettering. The stencil gets dirty very
quickly and must be cleaned more often. Light letterings are often used with
stainless steel. However, the result is not predictable because each alumi-
nium has a different oxide layer.
Q7C74('LI([)BRL=<>(]A:;F=<>^\(!;@RIEE
• clean the spot to be etched
• cut off 30 mm etching felt (t = 2 mm) from the 60 x 2 x 1000 strip or from
the sheet
• using the „O“- ring, x the felt pad to the tool head
• using the selector switch (4) set the unit to the desired setting for light
or dark etching
• add enough electrolyte to the felt on the underside of the tool so that it
is wet
• position the stencil in the desired position on the work piece
• using light pressure and small swivelling movements stroke over the
stencil or, if the stencil is small enough to be covered by the tool head,
then simply press down and move slightly to and fro, holding the tool
at right handles to the work piece
• 1.5 to 2 seconds should be long enough to produce a good etching
although this depends on the material and the size of the stencil
• remove electrolyte from the metal surface and the lettering
