The direction of rotation for the grinding and polishing discs must be


Check that there is nothing to prevent the carrousel from turning,
e.g. transport protection.

Make sure that no specimen holder or specimen mover plate is
mounted.

Switch on the main switch (on the right hand side). If the safety
guards are closed, the carrousel will turn, and the reference
position of the carrousel can be found.

Select a preparation program in the STRUERS METHODS.

Press "Start" and check the direction of rotation of the
preparation discs.

Press "Stop" after the check is completed.
The discs should rotate counter-clockwise, see also the indication
arrows on the supporting discs.
If the direction of rotation is clockwise, switch off Prepamatic-2 and
unplug the machine.
