• Use 150 rpm for both grinding disc and specimen mover.
• If you are using lower speeds, decrease the speed on both the disc and the specimen mover.
• Use co-rotation.
• Both the disc and the specimen mover head rotate counter-clockwise.
• Use low force.
• Position the specimen mover head so that the specimens do not pass over the center of the
preparation disc.
• Lower the specimen mover plate as much as possible, but make sure that it does not come
into contact with the preparation surface.
Manual preparation
If you cannot prepare a specimen by using a standard specimen mover plate or specimen holder,
you can prepare it manually.
When you perform manual preparation, you hold the specimen in your hand and press it firmly
onto and across the preparation surface.
CAUTION
Wear suitable gloves to protect fingers from abrasives
and warm/sharp specimens.
CAUTION
When you perform manual grinding or polishing, be
careful not to touch the disc.
CAUTION
Do not try to collect a specimen from the tray while the
disc is rotating.
CAUTION
When the disc is rotating, make sure your hands are
kept completely clear of its periphery and out of the
splash bowl.
