HI TECH DIAMOND PRODUCTS ALL-U-NEED MACHINE

slant caber note !

The slant caber machine operates identical to the All-u-need unit. The Media and internal parts are the same! Only the water source and angle of the disk are different. The Slant Caber machine is fed from the top trough, and the screw adjusts the amount of flow. Point the tube to the center of the disk and gravity flow will provide coolant. The drain tube is placed in a bucket to catch the run-off.

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE ALL-U-NEED MACHINE, PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY. The machine is an electric power tool--it can cause personal injury or suffer damage if it is improperly used.

CAUTION

1. NEVER operate the ALL-U-NEED machine without goggles or other protective eye equipment. Be sure that anyone who is observing or is nearby has adequate eye protection as well.

2. Take care that no water or oil is allowed to run down the shaft and into the motor, as this will

cause the motor to instantly burn out. The machine is designed in such a way that this does not

occur with normal use.

3. Do not allow the water level to build up in the catch tray. Be sure that the drainage hole is open

so that the used water flows properly into the run-off cup. Should the hole be plugged and the

water level be allowed to rise unchecked, water could possibly leak down the motor' shaft,

causing motor burnout.

4. Always unplug the ALL-U-NEED machine when doing maintenance or when not in use.

5. Do not use the discs dry. Working with dry discs can damage the discs as well as create

dust that it harmful to breathe.

6. Read the copy of "SAFETY RULES FOR POWER TOOLS" enclosed with your machine.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Carefully unpack machine and set it on a table. Check to see that no damage has occurred in shipment. Check all packing materials to be sure that no small parts are inadvertently discarded.

2. Make sure white tray " all-u-need only" is securely mounted on a horizontal plane on the motor housing (black cone). If the tray is raised or tilted, it will hit the motor shaft or drive flange and rub, causing a squeaking or scratching sound and build up of friction on the 2" drive flange.

3. Notice set screw on the arbor. Be sure screw is positioned against the flat side of the motor shaft. It the screw is positioned against a rounded side of the shaft, it will make a squeaking noise and create friction, causing the motor shaft to feel hot. Once the arbor is properly positioned, check the set screw for tightness on the arbor, using the allen wrench. Do not over tighten the screw as you will need to remove it regularly to clean the tray. The arbor may be adjusted up and down as necessary to keep the spinning disc, below the spray shield. The black spray shield has two large screws at the front on either side; these are used to raise or lower the spray shield, or splash guard, as needed. `

4. Install water system, consisting of a white plastic cup " all-u-need only". Place the end of the tube (with valve on it) firmly in the hole in cup, then position cup on top of spray shield. Insert tube from below into the drain hole in white catch tray of ALL-U-NEED machine. Make sure top of tubing is positioned slightly below the top of the hole to allow for maximum drainage. Position catch cup below drainage tube. Fill top cup with clean water (never re-use water).

5. Set the 6" 180 Mesh Type I Diamond Disc on arbor and secure with cupped washer and 1/420 thread knurled black knob. Put on your safety goggles; turn on power switch. Adjust the valve on the water tube until water drips slowly and steadily onto the spinning disc. Now you are ready to shape your rough material.

Note: when finished using machine, make sure water valve is left open so tubing will not be pinched and damaged.

DIAMOND DISCS: USE AND CARE
STEP 1: 1.80 MESH TYPE I DIAMOND DISC (ROUGH SHAPING)

The 180 Mesh Type I Diamond Disc is used for stock removal and shaping of hard-to grind materials covering a wide hardness range. Never use discs dry; use only clean water as a lubricant. Do not use wipers or sponges as they can become contaminated with cutting debris and larger diamond particles. Contamination from coarse material to debris will cause hard-to remove scratches in the material you are working.

2. Grind edge of material to fit mounting or template. Also remove bulk of material to create

Desired shape of gemstone. Remove as many flat spots as possible if you are making a domed cabochon. '

3. If a sharp edge is present on your material, gently introduce sharp edge to diamond disc. This prevents unnecessary wear and/or damage to your diamond disc; it will also prevent possible chipping of your. material.

4. When finished with disc, rinse and spin dry completely. Store in a clean, dry plastic bag.

NOTE: Among the accessories included with your kit, you will find four colored Diamond Smoothing Discs, a white Tech-10 Pad, and four gray backing plates. To prepare these items for use, they must first be assembled. To do this, remove protective backing from Diamond Smoothing Disc. Apply the exposed pressure sensitive adhesive to the clean, smooth surface of a hard backing plate, making sure discs evenly contact backing plate surface. Clip a center hole with a sharp knife, following the 1/2" center hole in backing plate. If you will be shaping cabochons, apply the (OPTIONAL ) black sponge pad to one of the backing plates; apply the brown 325 Mesh Diamond Smoothing

Disc on top of the (OPTIONAL) sponge. The extra cushioning provided by the sponge pad will help prevent flat spots in the rounded dome of a cabochon.

STEP 2:325 MESH BROWN SMOOTHING DISC (SMOOTHING)

1. This disc is used following the 180 mesh metal disc to further refine the desired shape. It also removes scratches and flat spots left from the 180 rough grinding operations. It is important to remove all scratches from previous operations as they are difficult or impossible to remove later on.

2. When finished with the 325 Mesh Smoothing Disc, rinse thoroughly with clean water, spin dry, and store in a clean, dry plastic bag. Rinse black spray shield before proceeding to the next step.

STEP 3:600 MESH RED DIAMOND SMOOTHING DISC (SMOOTHING)

1. This step is used after the 325 Mesh (brown) Smoothing Disc. The 600 Mesh Red Smoothing Disc is used to further refine the work piece before proceeding to the Aqua 1200 Mesh Pre-Polish Smoothing Disc. It is not as aggressive as the brown pad, and it is excellent for removing the scratches and flat spots remaining after using the brown pad. As with the other smoothing discs, use with water drip.

2. As with the 325 Mesh Smoothing Disc, rinse and spin dry completely after use; store in a clean, dry plastic bag.

STEP 4:1200 MESH AQUA DIAMOND SMOOTHING DISC (PRE-POLISH)

1. This disc is used after the shaping of the work piece is completed. It removes scratches left by the 600 Mesh Smoothing Disc and imparts a sheen to the material. This disc is also called a "Pre-Polish Pad."

2. When finished with this disc, clean, dry, and store as with the other smoothing discs.

STEP 5: WHITE TECH-10 PAD WITH SYRINGE OF 14,000 DIAMOND COMPOUND

1. The White Tech-10 Pad is charged with the 14,000 Mesh Diamond Comp and and is used for the final polish. This pad is not used with water. The Diamond Compound mixture contains its own carriers, making this unnecessary. However, if you are working with Brittle heat sensitive material such as opal, be careful not to let your work piece get too hot by lowering RPM and checking your work piece frequently.

2. METHOD: Take the syringe of 14,000 Mesh Diamond Compound, remove cap and squeeze a small amount onto Tech-10 Pad. Turn machine on so that it spins slowly; use fingers to distribute Diamond Compound overwork area of Tech-10 Pad. Turn m chine up to working speed; apply work piece.

MAINTENANCE

The ALL-U-NEED MACHINE is designed to give years of reliable, vibration free service with only a minimum of maintenance.

l . OILING

The only thing you ever oil on the ALL-U-NEED MACHINE is the inside of the 2" silver drive flange. This is necessary because the motor shaft and drive flange are composed of different materials. Over time, they can seize together, making it impossible to remove the drive flange. Every two months or so, remove the silver drive flange using the allen wrench; turn it upside down. Apply a drop, of oil in the cup where it fits on the shaft, making sure that there is no excess oil and that no oil will drip down the motor shaft at all. If any oil gets down the shaft and into the motor, it will cause instant motor burnout. A bit of " white lube" or water pump grease will serve as well!

2. CLEANING

After use, the ALL-U-NEED MACHINE is easily disassembled for cleaning. Rinse the black splash guard; then remove and rinse white tray" all-u-need only". Any used waste water must not be disposed of down a sink; it can harden like cement, closing off the drain. Allow the machine to dry completely, then store in a safe place, out of the reach of children.
