Safety
Only trained users are permitted to operate the Grinder-Polisher.
Wear safety glasses and protective gloves at all times.
To avoid floods, always check that the water flow hose is securely attached to the outlet at the
rear of the machine, and also that the hose is suitably fitted into the waste collection vessel
beneath the table. Monitor the water levels at all times during use of the system. Replace full
vessel if necessary.
Rotation of the platen could be up to 500 rpms. Keep hands away from moving parts. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery, and contain long hair. They can be caught in moving parts and may
result in severe personal injury.
Protective equipment should be worn to handle specimens, which may be sharp or hot.
Do not operate machine in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Sparks may ignite the
dust or fumes.
If there is a problem with the tool, do not attempt to repair yourself. Always speak with a tool
owner.
Handling and care of polishing media:
All liquid waste must be collected in the waste collection vessel beneath the polisher table. If the
vessel is full, please discuss with a 4D LABS member of staff to have the waste properly disposed
of.
