Polishing

Overload of the Motor

Transpol-2
Instruction Manual
Polishing is carried out with DP-paste, DP-spray or DP-stick on a
polishing cloth in 2, 3 or 4 steps, dependant on the material, e.g. 15
µm, 6 µm, 3 µm and finally 1 µm. If the surface has to be especially
fine ¼ µm diamonds may be used for final polishing, but normally the
preparation can be finished at 3 µm.
Cloth Diamond Type
DP-Dur/ 15 µm and 6 µm diamonds
DP-Dac
DP-Mol 3 µm and 1 µm diamonds
DP-Nap ¼ µm diamonds
Mount the cloth on the rubber disc by removing the cover paper
and pressing the cloth against the rubber disc with your thumb.
Apply Diamond Paste or Spray on the cloth.
Before polishing and between the individual polishing steps the area
to be prepared must be cleaned with water or alcohol.
During polishing the motor speed must be relatively low, in order not
to spread the diamonds outside the preparation area. Add a few
drops of lubricant, blue lubricant for hard materials like steel, red
lubricant for soft materials like aluminium and brass.
If the motor becomes overloaded the inner fuse will switch off the
power for the motor which will then stop. At the same time the
overload indicator will flash. The apparatus can be re-started by first
setting the Main switch to OFF and then again to ON.
