Polishing pad |

The
knob, standard size plate and single-sided disc polishing pad are delivered
inside the machine.
Ø
Prepare a flat,
sturdy surface for the machine to rest on.
Ø
Remove the machine
from its box along with the accessories bag.
Ø
Place the machine on
the working surface, adjust the legs if necessary. It is recommended to leave
the left pair of legs longer so the machine tilts slightly to the right. This
helps the polish flow back to the container.
Ø
Plug the loose end of
the intake hose onto the tee piece on the top of the blue lid.
Ø
Lift the small blue
cover with the intake tube and remove the drawer from the machine.
Ø
Remove the knob and
plate from the front spindle.
Ø
Shake the compound
bottle vigorously and fill the drawer container about two thirds to three
quarters full.
Ø
Place the container
back in the drawer, push the drawer into its place. Use slow movements to prevent
splashing of the compound.
Ø
Place the blue cover
with the intake tube back to its place.
Ø
Close the lid of the
machine
Ø
Plug the power cable
first to the outlet on the back of the machine and then to a grounded
electrical outlet.
Ø
Switch the main power
on – you will hear the sound of the cooling fans.
Ø
Set the timer for 1
minute. The motors will start spinning. After approximately 30 seconds, the
polishing compound will start dripping onto the polishing pad. Let the timer
finish its cycle and once it stops you will be ready to fix your first disc.
Ø
Place a normal size
single-sided* disc onto the disc spindle (label side up), cover with the plate
and secure with the knob. Do not tighten the knob too much at this point, just
enough to touch the plate. The machine will tighten it itself.
Ø
Close the lid.
Ø
According to the
damage of the disc, set the timer to the appropriate time. If you are new to
the machine, we recommend setting the timer to 2 minutes and putting it back
into the machine afterwards, if necessary. (Using the shortest sufficient time
increases your productivity. This will allow you to fix the same discs many
more times when they will get scratched again and this also saves on
consumables.)
Ø
The spindles will
start spinning. In case they are stuck, turn the timer clockwise to the 0
position, loosen the knob slightly and try again. (This sometimes happens
especially with new and dry polishing pads). If this does not help,
re-calibrate the machine (see “Pressure calibration” chapter).
Ø
After the cycle is
finished, the machine turns itself off automatically and gives a sound signal.
Ø
Lift the blue lid
Ø
Loosen the knob, lift
the plate and the disc.
Ø
Using the CD Spray
Cleaner, moisten the disc and wipe it with the attached wiping cloth.
Ø
Inspect the disc. If
you are not happy with the result, put the disc back into the machine for
additional time.
*For
Double-Sided discs use a special (smaller) pad and then fix each side of the
disc the same way as described above. For small (GameCube) discs use the small
plate from the accessories bag.
Ø
Minute counters – With the machine lid closed push the ESC
button. The counters will show. Pushing the B button resets the
second line counter to zero. The counters show number of minutes of the machine
operation.
Ø
Changing of
pre-set times – While on the
counter screen (see above) push the OK button. A
screen for setting the time and saving it appears. Use the +/-
buttons to select desired time, use the A/B buttons
to save the selected time to one of the memories.
Ø
Turning the sound
signal on/off – While on the
preset time screen (see above), push the ESC button. On
the next screen, use the A/B buttons to switch the
sound signal on or off.
If after repairing some discs, the machine performance ceases to be sufficient, it might be time to replace the consumables.
Ø
Dump the remaining
compound from the container and rinse the container
Ø
Place the container
back in the machine
Ø
Clean the machine as
described in the Machine Maintenance chapter
Ø
Empty the tubing by
running the machine dry (with empty container) and without a disc for 30
seconds. You can lift the intake tube up to ensure proper emptying.
Ø
Rinse the container
again
Ø
Pour new compound
into the container (about two thirds full)
Ø
Run the machine
without a disc to prime the tubing for approximately 30 seconds (until the
compound starts dripping onto the pad again)
Ø
Grab the edges of the
pad
Ø
Pulling up release
the pad from the Velcro backing
Ø
Put a new pad in its
place
The Fix-A-Disc One-Step machine does not require regular maintenance, such as greasing etc. However, it is a good idea to keep the machine clean, especially if you are not using it for an extended time. In this case, use a funnel to pour the polishing compound back into the bottle, rinse the container and fill it with warm clean water. Place it back in the machine and run the machine for two minutes without the CD, plate and knob. This will moisten the well of the machine and remove the remaining compound from the tubing. Using a wet cloth, wipe the well and surface of the machine clean. Do not wash the pad in water, just use a wet cloth to wipe its surface. Too much water in the pad foam would cause the pad to warp slightly reducing its effectiveness.
The Fix-A-Disc One-Step machine comes pre-calibrated from the factory. However, fine calibration might be needed when replacing the polishing pad or under heavy working conditions (if the machine heats up, there less pressure is required for the process).
Using the hex-key from the accessories bag, loosen the setscrew on the side of the spindle
With the same hex key loosen or tighten the pressure by the setscrew in the tip of the spindle
Tighten the setscrew on the side of the spindle back

The right pressure will allow the machine to start spinning again. Do not try to start the machine spinning by hand.
