OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1
Carefully unpack the Slant Cabber from
the box and remove all loose foam and
accessories. Set the packaging aside should
you need it in the future. Check to make sure
all parts are present on both the machine and
in the accessory kit.
If you find any missing or
damaged parts, call us immediately at 1 (630)
596-9909 or email us at sales@hitechdiamond.
com.
Place the Slant Cabber on a table or surface
that is flat in a well lit location. Make sure the
machine sits level.
2
Set up the water system by inserting the clear
drain tube into the fitting located on the right
side of the machine. Place the other end of the
tube into a bucket (not included). Fill the top water
reservoir with clean water. Adjust the flexible
modular water tube to the center of the disc (Fig.
A). This allows the water to spread evenly across
the surface of the discs while they spin. Never
re-use water.
Note: To install the optional Pro-Flow
water cooling system, see page 11.

Included in the Slant Cabber accessory kit
are four nickel-electroplated diamond discs,
one Tech-10 polishing pad, one 2-gram diamond
paste syringe and one acrylic backing plate. To
determine what disc you need to start with, see
page 8. To properly install your discs, place the
backing plate onto the arbor (Fig. B). The backing
plate has a 1/2" arbor hole which fits snug onto
the lip of the arbor. Next, place the diamond disc
on top of the backing plate, making sure the 1/2"
arbor hole in the disc and the 1/2" arbor hole in
the backing plate are centered. Secure the disc
and backing plate with the ¼"-20 thread knurled
knob and washers (Fig. B). Make sure the disc has
even contact with the backing plate surface.
Note:
Always use a backing plate for diamond discs or
polishing pads on the Slant Cabber.
4
Put on safety goggles (not included) and
turn the power switch on. Use the black
water control valve located on the centered
water tube to control the water flow on and off.
You only need a few constant drops of water to
lubricate the discs. Do not use wipers or sponges,
as they may become contaminated with larger
diamond particles.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If water
isn’t coming out of the water tube after
twisting the water control valve on, refer to
Troubleshooting on page 15.
5
The arbor may be adjusted up and down
using the included Allen wrench to keep the
discs below the black spray shield. See page 10
for arbor adjustment instructions.
