STARTING WORK
Check the following prior to starting the equipment.
•
Check all nuts and bolts for tightness
•
Check the plugs and cables for damage
1. The machine is fitted with an adjustable handle which can be folded over for ease of
lifting and transportation. The handle can be adjusted by releasing the two locking pins on
the side and moving the handle into one of three positions for preferred operator comfort.
This is then locked in place by re-engaging the locking pins.
2. Fit a suitable grinding head by tilting the machine backwards on to its handle. The
machine must be secured and supported. Attach the grinding head to the machine using the
four countersunk fixing screws and tighten. Lower the machine back to the upright position.
3. Connect the vacuum hose to the dust extraction port, if a dust control vacuum is being
used. We recommend the SPE VAC316 3 motor vacuum for dust control.
4. Ensure that the power supply is correct for the machine (see page 11 for further details).
Connect the machine to the power supply.
5. To start the machine
•
Check that the stop button is out by rotating clockwise.
•
Lift the grinding head slightly by tipping the machine onto its rear wheels.
•
Press the start button.
•
Lower the machine onto the floor, moving the head evenly across the surface to
ensure a smooth ground finish.
6. To stop the machine, push the red stop button.
7. The machine is also fitted with two removable panels in the dust shroud which can assist
with edge work. Undo the two thumb nuts and remove the panel to allow the grinding head
to get closer to the vertical surface. Once done, replace the panel and refit and tighten the
two thumb nuts.
Never allow the machine to stop moving whilst grinding head is in contact with the
surface
