1.3 Features and Benefits
The GP 1000A is equipped with a 125 W variable 0-200 rpm speed motor. The drive mechanism is connected to
the motor via a maintenance-free anti-slip polychain.
The GP 1000A also has a lubricant dispenser in addition to a high flow water valve for hands free wet grinding with
abrasive papers and lubrication for polishing.
In addition, the GP 1000A can be operated either automatically or independently of the polishing base.
2. Installation
Install unit carefully!
The GP 1000A should be placed on a flat stable surface.
Requires air, water supply, drain and electrical connections.
After connecting air, water, drain and electrical supplies the system is ready for operation by activating the main
power switches on both the polisher and head for automatic operation.

Specimen holder:
The specimen holder is attached to the head drive shaft via two hex screws that tight on
the two flat sides of the shaft.
The specimen holder needs to be adjusted so that the pistons are approximately centered
in the holder holes. This adjustment is done by loosening the flange between the holder
and shaft coupler and rotating the holder into the correct position. Retighten screws and
nuts.
2.2 Height Adjustment for the Head /Specimen Holder
The specimen holder height needs to be adjusted to prevent the pistons from being ground during the operation of
the machine.
Step 1: Connect air and lift up head.
Step 2: Place the working wheel with the highest profile abrasive/polishing pad on the wheel. Using a single
wall box as a spacer, place the cardboard on top of the working wheel/abrasive combination.
Step 1: Rotate lever to
engage piston to lift head
Step 2: Lower head onto a
cardboard spacer

Step 3: Loosen holding ring collar on the head post and slide down out of the way.
Step 4. Rotate release lever slightly to lower the head.
Step 5. Slide the holding ring collar up to the bottom of the head and tighten.
Step 6. Lift head by rotating release lever to engage button on bottom of the head. Remove cardboard and
lower head.
Step 7. In the head’s manual mode, lower pistons with the piston down switch. Verify that the bottom of the
pistons are not rubbing against the abrasive surface. (Note it is better to operate the specimen holder as close to
the working abrasive wheel as possible in order to get flatter specimens).
Step 3: Loosen and lower post holding
collar
Rotate lever to disengage button

Start / stop buttons: Start or stops the head in the manual mode. Note the Start/Stop button on the base
polisher controls the Automatic polishing operation.
Auto/ manual: Manual mode operates the head independent of the polisher.
Auto mode operates head in conjunction with the polisher.
Pistons Up/Down: UP/DOWN controls the pistons in the manual mode.
Motor speed: UP/DOWN arrows for increasing or decreasing the speed.
Head speed indicator: Displays the motor speed (0-200 rpm).
Pressure adjustment: Controls the pressure applied to the pistons.
3.2 Base Polisher Control Panel
Wheel direction: Clockwise rotation or counter clockwise rotation.
Run / stop buttons: Start/stop the polishing wheel in both manual and auto mode.
Water switch: Activates the water solenoid for the rinse bowl and rinse spout.
Preset speeds: Allows for faster speed control, SPL - low speed, SPM - medium speed, SPH - high speed.
Auto-mode: Allows for running pre-programmed speeds and times.
3.3 AUTO Polishing Mode
1. Install working wheel and attach grinding papers / polishing cloths.
Position the specimen holder so that the sample tracks over the entire diameter of the grinding papers in order
to break the grinding papers uniformly. Note positioning is not as significant for polishing pads.
2. Switch on the head and the base at the back.
Set the button on the head control panel to AUTO.
Set an approximate pressure and head speed on the head.
3. Set the base speed, time and direction on the base controller (see next page for instructions)
4. Position flexible water spout over working wheel. During sample preparation adjust water flow by turning water
control knob as required. Note: Initial operation of water valve may contain air in the lines. Turn water on
slowly to purge air from system.
5. Turn onAUTO mode so light is lit. To start operation press START/STOP button to begin.

TIP: It is recommended that the head speed match or exceed the base
speed, running in the same direction. This provides flatter specimen
samples, especially for coarse grinding.
3.4 Programmable Mode
1. The programming mode can be used to pre-set the polishing speed, direction and time for automated polishing.
It can also be used to change the fast speed buttons.
2. To change the speed of the wheel:
Press the PRG button and use the up and down keys to SP1 and press ENTER. Use the up, down and < key to
change the speed. Press ENTER to save.
3. To program a grinding/ polishing time:
Press the PRG button and use the up and down keys to display t1 and press ENTER. Use the up, down and <
key to change the time (enter in seconds - displayed min-sec)
4. To operate the pre-programmed conditions:
PRESS the AUTO button and then start the program with the RUN/STOP button. The pre-programmed
conditions will be executed.
3.5 MANUAL Polishing Mode
1. Install working wheel and attach grinding papers / polishing cloths.
2. Switch on the head and the base at the back.
Set the toggle switch on the head control panel to MANUAL
Set an approximate pressure and head speed on the head.
Load samples and press the UP/DOWN key to the DOWN .
Press Start/Stop button to start the head (the base will not start automatically in this mode, it must be started
separately).
3. Start the base by using preset speeds (SPL, SPM, SPH) and pressing Run/STOP button. Note speed can be
adjusted with up and down arrow keys.
4. Position flexible water spout over working wheel. During sample preparation adjust water flow by turning water
control knob as required. Note: Initial operation of water valve may contain air in the lines. Turn water on
slowly to purge air from system.
5. Both the base and the heads need to be stopped by pressing the red button on the head and the RUN/STOP
button on the base controller.
