4. Setup Instructions

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Placement: Position the lens edger on a stable, flat, and dry workbench. Ensure adequate space around the unit for safe operation and ventilation.
3. Water Supply: Fill the removable sink with clean water. Ensure the water level is sufficient to cover the lower part of the grinding wheel during operation.
4. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into the unit's power inlet and then into a standard AC 110V 60HZ electrical outlet.
5. Adjust Water Flow: Turn the brass screw on the water dispenser to adjust the water flow rate. A steady drip or light stream is usually sufficient to keep the grinding wheel wet and cool.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective and safe lens edging:

1. Power On: Flip the power switch (usually red) to the 'ON' position. The grinding wheel will begin to rotate.
2. Select Grinding Surface: The grinding wheel typically has two surfaces: a coarse grit (e.g., 280#) for initial shaping and material removal, and a fine grit (e.g., 180#) for smoothing and finishing. Select the appropriate side for your task.
3. Lens Placement: Hold the lens firmly and gently bring its edge into contact with the rotating grinding wheel. Apply light, consistent pressure.
4. Grinding Process: Move the lens smoothly along the grinding surface to achieve the desired shape and edge. For V-groove edging, align the lens with the V-groove section of the wheel.
5. Water Management: Ensure the adjustable water dispenser provides continuous lubrication to the grinding wheel to prevent overheating and dust accumulation.
6. Inspection: Periodically remove the lens to inspect the progress and ensure accuracy.
7. Finishing: Once the desired shape is achieved with the coarse grit, switch to the fine grit side for a smoother finish.
8. Power Off: After completing the task, turn off the power switch and allow the wheel to come to a complete stop before cleaning.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your lens edger.

• Water Tank Cleaning: After each use, or periodically depending on usage, remove the sink and dispose of dirty water. Clean the sink thoroughly to prevent debris buildup and pump clogging.
• Grinding Wheel Inspection: Regularly inspect the diamond grinding wheel for wear or damage. A worn wheel may reduce efficiency and accuracy.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the device in a clean, dry environment when not in use.
