Introduction

The Genie is a compact cabochon grinding and polishing unit

complete with motor, diamond wheels, and coolant system. It requires

no attachment or hookups other than a standard 115 volt electrical

outlet, (230 volt for export model) making it portable and light weight.

Since the grinding and polishing wheels do not require large amounts

of water, the Genie is also a clean operating unit, and can be used in

any convenient place such as the kitchen.

The Genie comes with two Galaxy metal-bond diamond grinding

wheels: one 80 grit for coarse grinding, and one 220 grit for fine

grinding. The set of four Nova resin-bond diamond sanding and

polishing wheels (grit sizes 280, 600, 1200, and 3000) is an excellent

all-around combination that will produce a high polish on most stones.

For those stones that may benefit from an additional polishing step, a

14000 grit Nova Disc is included and can be attached to the right hand

shaft. With the six wheels mounted at once, the lapidary can quickly and

efficiently grind and polish most stones in a matter of minutes, without

having to stop to change or charge attachments and wheels.

Flex Stem Lamp and Magnifier

The lamp has a flexible stem for easy adjustability, and a quick-

coupler at the base for easy detachment. The extra coupler base on the

unit may be used for an extra lamp or optional magnifier (see page 24).

When adjusting the lamp or magnifier, use both hands so you can

grasp the base of the flexible stem and bend it from there in order to

prevent excessive strain on the base attachment, use care not to cause

excessive strain on the lamp shade or magnifier lens rim

The lamp and magnifier are interchangeable on the metal buttons.

To remove either one, raise the plastic ring near the base of the flexible

stem, and the unit will lift off.

Use maximum 100 watt

The Genie motor is a heavy-duty, industrially rated, sealed, capacitor

start motor made especially for Diamond Pacific Tool Corp. by the

Baldor Electric Company. It is unconditionally guaranteed by the

manufacturer against defects in workmanship or components for one

year from date of purchase.

bulb.

Motor

The domestic motor is 1/4 HP, single phase, 1800 RPM operating

on 115 volt, 60 cycle (Hz) AC current.

The export motor is 1/4 HP, single phase, 1450 RPM operating on

230 volt, 50 cycle (Hz) AC current.

Since the motor is totally enclosed to prevent grit contamination of

the bearings, it has high temperature insulation which allows it to

operate at higher temperatures than fan cooled motors. The motor

never needs oiling.

The Genie can be operated with any small generator producing a

minimum of 400 watts power. With a generator, you can use your Genie

out in the field as well as in your home or shop.

USE CAUTION:

The motor normally runs very hot to the touch. Care should be taken to

avoid touching the motor while it is in use in order to avoid possible

burns.

Hoods and Pans

The Genie comes equipped with a hood and pan for each side of the

unit. Both hood and pan are molded of rigid plastic that is durable,

lightweight and easy to clean. A ridge around the top edge of the hood

makes it a convenient tray for stones.

To remove either hood from its bracket, grasp it with both hands and

rotate it towards you (in same direction that wheels rotate) rather than

attempting to lift it straight up and off the bracket. Once the hood has

been removed, the pan can be slipped out for cleaning.

To use flat laps on either end of the motor shaft, first remove the

hood from its bracket, then unscrew the end plate from the hood. Turn

the pan 90 degrees and parallel lengthwise to the shaft. Replace the

hood. This arrangement allows easy access to the lap or pad and

provides ample drip pan space.

Some flat laps may require more room on the left end of the Genie. This

additional room may be acquired by cutting out the special thin section

on the right side of the left hood as follows:

1. Use a strong, sharp knife, and be careful not to cut yourself.
