6.0 Maintenance
6.1 Introduction
The GIGA - S polisher is a low maintenance machine. In order to maintain proper
performance, it is advised to properly clean the polishing bowl after every use.
Some abrasive slurries will conglomerate and introduce contamination to future
polishing steps if not properly cleaned. The hinged hood should be wiped down
with a damp cloth when small contaminants can be seen. If a large amount of
sloshing has occurred, the hood should be removed and thoroughly cleaned to
reduce the risk of contamination.
6.2 Instructions
Take a damp cloth and lightly scrub the surface of the cover and hood. Do not
use chemicals to clean.
To remove the hood for cleaning, loosen the four thumb screws on the back of
the machine (shown below). Clean the hood with soapy water. Place the hood
back onto the hinges and tighten the thumb screws to secure the hood back in
place.
It is recommended to clean the hood after use before slurries or other polishing
mediums have time to dry.
To clean the GIGA - S polishing bowl, simply remove the bowl from the locking
plate and properly dispense of any polishing medium. Remove the polishing cloth
and continue to wash the bowl as needed.
