      Jennifer CarterAug 19, 2025
      If your Struers Sander indicates 'No electrical connection. Check anode arm', it means there's no electrical connection between the anode and cathode after pressing start. Ensure there is enough electrolyte in the container and that there's a good electrical connection between the anode arm and the specimen. Also, check that the protective cover of the polishing unit is mounted correctly.
