The area must be well ventilated to prevent inhalation in case of hazardous fumes.
Before the operator inserts the electrolyte cartridge, an electrolyte, which is suitable for the
material that is to be prepared, must be selected. Once the electrolyte cartridge is inserted, the
equipment must stay in the same location or be kept still and level if carried.
The operator starts the machine and guides the polishing pistol to the area of interest. During the
electrolytical polishing/etching process, small layers of material can now be removed, and the
uneven material surface can be reduced to a plane area for further analysis.
In case of excess heat and/or power consumption, the equipment switches off automatically.
After use, the electrolyte cartridge must be removed, and the equipment must be cleaned with
water. Cleaning can be carried out using an electrolyte container filled with water. The equipment
can then be placed in the carrying case, protected and ready for transport.
Maintenance and cleaning must be carried out as described in the instruction manual.
The machine is designed only to be used with suitable consumables and accessories (e.g.
electrolytes).
