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

5.1 Grinding Disc Installation

  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.
