Instruction Manual

2. Operation

 Lift the thrust pad on the adjustment screw to make room for
the specimen.
 Place the specimen in one of the holes of the specimen mover
plate and lower the thrust pad.
Adjust the force by turning the adjustment screw. The
indications on the spring housing correspond to the actual
force in Newton as stated below:
Indication Force
(0) 0-5 N
1 10 N
2 20 N
3 30 N
4 40 N
 Press LaboForce-3 down into the operating position.
 Place 1 to 3 specimens in the specimen mover plate.
 Adjust the force.
 Adjust the lubricant dosing level.
 Press START on LaboPol.

 Carry out the planned preparation step and press STOP
LaboPol when finished.
 Stop lubricant dosing:
Drip Lubricator: Close the valve on the drip lubricator.
LaboDoser: Stops automatically after the pre-set time
It is not possible to start LaboForce-3 on LaboPol when the specimen
mover is lifted to upright position.
As the specimens must fit the holes in the specimen mover
plate quite accurately, the specimen mover plate has to be
changed when samples of another size are to be prepared.
 Unlock LaboForce-3 and let it move into upright position.
 Unscrew the fastening screws of the specimen mover plate
using the Allen key.
 Place the new specimen mover plate on the three columns and
secure it with the three screws.
 Lower LaboForce-3 again and press gently to lock the machine.
