5. Configurare

Follow these steps to set up your lapidary machine before first use.

5.1 Instalarea discului de șlefuit

  1. Remove the nut and washer from the central shaft.
  2. Place the desired grinding disc flat and steady onto the grinding table.
  3. Put the washer and nut back onto the shaft sequentially, then tighten securely using the provided wrench.

5.2 Water Cooling and Drainage Setup

  1. Connect the water pump to a suitable water reservoir (not included).
  2. Attach the water pipe set, including the adjustable multi-angle nozzle, to the water pump and position it to direct water onto the center of the grinding disc.
  3. Locate the drain hose extending from the left side of the unit. Fully extend this hose to ensure water can flow freely through it. The hose should reach a length approximately equal to that of your forearm.
  4. Ensure the drain hose is positioned to direct wastewater into a suitable container or drain.

Nota: Once the drain hose is fully extended, water should flow through it freely, preventing the pan from filling up. When not in use, retract the hose back into the main unit to maintain a clean and organized workspace.

5.3 Conexiune la alimentare

  • Connect the power cord to the machine and then to a grounded 110-120V AC/60Hz electrical outlet.

6.2 Using Different Grits

The machine comes with multiple diamond grinding discs for progressive material removal and finishing.

  • 180# Disc (Coarse): For aggressive material removal and initial shaping. Produces rough texture with clearly visible scratch patterns.
  • 320# Disc (Medium-Coarse): For refining shape and removing coarser scratches. Results in a semi-rough, fine sandpaper-like finish.
  • 600# Disc (Fine): For smoothing the surface and preparing for polishing. Leaves a smooth but slightly hazy finish, similar to frosted glass.
  • 1200# Disc (Very Fine): For pre-polishing and achieving a near-mirror effect with no detectable graininess.
