Maintenance
 4000 Edger

Cleaning the Edger

Introduction
In order for your new edger to retain its new appearance, simple care must be taken on a
routine
basis.
Clean the edger daily after use.
Follow the directions mentioned in this manual.
Maintain your diamond wheels.

Daily Cleaning

Basic daily cleaning consists of dust removal by using:

Pure water
A soft sponge
or
A soft brush
Always clean edger surfaces wet to avoid scratching of its fine finish.
Avoid harsh cleansers, never use gritty cleansers which will harm your edger's appearance.

Caution

Do not use a hose with high water pressure, avoid any heavy splashing where it might
penetrate the edger's internal electronic components thus causing serious damage to
your unit.

Never use chemical solvents, agents or derivatives of such products as:

Acetone
Trichlorethylene
Benzene
Kerosene
Etc.
These products directly or even by their simple vapors:
Might alter the structure and appearance of synthetic materials used in fabrication of
your edger
Usage of any of these materials voids any guarantee or warranty of the whole unit or
its components.

Speeding-up Roughing Cycle for Mineral Lenses (Glass)

Caution

Make sure you have an ample flow of water over the diamond wheels prior to using the
dressing sticks.
Use only recommended dressing sticks (orange) by Briot or wheel manufacturer.
Apply dressing stick to roughing wheel only when considerable slowing down of the cycle
time
occurs.

Wear

Please, bear in mind, the more often you apply a dressing stick to your diamond wheels the
faster the wheel is going to wear.

Procedure

Follow the steps below to speed-up roughing cycle for mineral lenses (glass).
 Step Action

1 Start the edging cycle without clamping a lens in the edging chamber.

2 Apply the dressing stick on the wheel by applying pressure directly.

For detailed information, see sheet Roughing Wheel Cleaning, supplied with edger.
3 As you apply the dressing stick on to the diamond wheel, sweep it from left to right
to
4 cover the full width of diamond wheel.
Use 10 to 15 mm (1/4 to 1/2 Inch) of dressing stick.
Warning: Excessive use of dressing stick will prematurely decrease the life of the
5 diamond wheel.
Edge a test lens for inspection.

Warning

Never apply a dressing stick to the plastic (organic) roughing wheel, serious damage
will occur and your wheel warranty will be void.

Speeding-up the Finishing Cycle

Caution
 Make sure you have an ample flow of water over the diamond wheels prior to using the
dressing sticks.
Use only recommended dressing sticks (green or grey) by Briot or wheel manufacturer.
Apply dressing stick to roughing wheel only when considerable slowing down of the cycle
time
occurs.
When applying dressing stick to bevel wheel always position dressing stick the same way,
try
to cover the diamond groove equally with the stick.
Do not apply the stick in sections, one side or the other.
Result: Since your Briot wheels are manufactured in two pieces to obtain a much better
bevel
position, uneven application of dressing stick will alter the bevel position on the
lens.
Unnecessary use of the dressing stick will decrease the life of the diamond wheel.

Wear

Please, bear in mind, the more often you apply a dressing stick to your diamond wheels the
faster the wheel is going to wear.

Procedure

Follow the steps below to speed-up the finishing cycle.

Step Action

1 Start the edging cycle without clamping a lens in the edging chamber.

2 Apply the dressing stick on the wheel by applying pressure directly.

For detailed information, see sheet Finishing Wheel Cleaning supplied with edger.

3 As you apply the dressing stick on to the diamond wheel, cover the full width of the
groove
Warning: Do not sweep the dressing stick left to right.
4 Use 10 to 15 mm (1/4 to 1/2 Inch) of dressing stick.
Warning: Excessive use of dressing stick will prematurely decrease the life of the
diamond wheel.

Roughing Wheel Differential Adjustment

Introduction
The glass roughing wheel wears out sooner than the other diamond wheels. The outside
diameter
of the roughing wheel decreases as more lenses are being edged. As the diamond wheel
diameter decreases the larger the roughed size of the lens gets before going into the
finishing
cycle. If this sizing differential is not corrected periodically, the faster the bevel wheel is
going to
wear.

Average Take-off Differences

Average differences between roughing and finishing wheels are the following:
Glass Lenses : from 1,2 mm to 1,4 mm
Plastic Lenses : from 0,6 mm to 0,8 mm

Procedure

Follow the steps below to adjust the take-off difference.
