NANO 1000T / FEMTO 1500  

Polishing Head 

 

 

6.0   Maintenance 

6.1   Introduction

 

6.2   Cleaning outside cabinet

 

The FEMTO 1500

 

requires very minimal maintenance.  However, to increase the life of the 

polisher, it is suggested that the unit be rinsed after use.   

The cabinet should be cleaned occasionally with a moistened cloth.  Do not use any chemicals 
or cleaning abrasives.
