Please read this instruction manual carefully and follow all installation, operating and safety guidelines. 

NANO 1200T Polisher 

4.0   Start-up and Operation 

4.1   General 

4.2   Control Panel 

The 

NANO 1200T 

is a hand 

grinding/ polishing machine.  By 
adding the FEMTO power head, 
semi-automated polishing can 
be accomplished. 

Emergency stop button: 

Emergency stop switch cuts power to the motor immediately.  

Wheel direction: 

Clockwise rotation and counter clockwise rotation. 

Run / stop buttons: 

Start/stop the polishing wheel in both manual and auto mode. 

Water switch: 

Activates the water solenoid for the rinse bowl and rinse spout. 

Preset speeds: 

Allows for faster speed control, SPL - low speed, SPM - medium 
speed, SPH - high speed (factory setting approx. 100, 200, 300 
rpm. 

Auto-mode: 

Allows for running pre-programmed speeds and times (factory 
setting approx. 200 rpm, FWD, 30 seconds).
