Operating Instructions 

40.

 

The GALAXY has axle height adjustment to level the machine and also assists ergonomics of the machine so 
as to cause less fatigue on the operator. To set axle height, place the machine on a level surface and adjust 

the axle height lever until the level bubble is somewhat in the centre. After initial operation the axle can be 
adjusted to fine tune the results. 

41.

 

Switch on the dust extractor or turn on the water tap so a small amount of water is spraying on the tool. 

42.

 

Hold the handles firmly and  

a.

 

 For electric machines; switch the machine on by pushing the green button. 

b.

 

For Petrol Machines; Put the throttle lever in the choke position (fully towards operator) and pull start 
the engine. Note; some machines have auto choke and the Idle position is adequate for starting. 

Caution!! When Starting the machine in the full choke (when Cold) the machine clutch could engage 

for a short period until machine it taken back to idle. Be aware of this and have a second operator 
hole the handle to ensure the machine is kept controlled. 

c.

 

As soon as the engine is started, move the lever to the idle position. And when ready move the lever 
to the full throttle position. 

43.

 

On electric machines, the controls on the GALAXY include an over load device. It is there to protect the 
controls and motor from irreparable damage. If it trips it indicates a problem. (i.e.; undersize power lead or 
poor power to your power supply). Refer earlier in this section for recommendations on power leads. Rectify 
the problem or decrease load on the GALAXY by using tooling with more surface area. 

44.

 

Continuing to use the GALAXY when constant tripping occurs, VOIDS THE WARRANTY. 

45.

 

Do not attempt to make any adjustments while the machine is in operation. Any adjustments must only be 
performed when machine is stopped and power or spark plug disconnected. 

46.

 

In the event of the machine pulling to one side all the time; adjust the axle height to obtain the best result. 

(See section 

‘Axle Height’

). This machine is designed to operate with the wheels in contact with the floor at all 

times. Do not operate with wheels off the floor. 

47.

 

After a few minutes of grinding check the wear of the diamond tooling. This will pay handsomely if the 
diamonds are wearing out fast due to soft concrete / abrasive concrete. There is a wide range of diamonds 
available to suit every need. See Section 

Diam

ond Tooling Selection Guide’

48.

 

See Section 

‘Problem Solving’ 

for tips on how to grind faster on tough concrete and how other problems can 

be rectified. 

49.

 

WARNING! As with any diamond tooling, breathable silica or other hazardous dusts may be generated by use 
and maintenance of this machine. The dust can cause severe and permanent lung damage, cancer, and or 

other serious diseases. Do not breathe the dust. Do not rely on your sight or smell to determine if dust is in 
the air. Silica may be in the air without a visible dust cloud. If air monitoring for silica is not provided by your 
employer at your work site, you must wear appropriate respiratory protection when operating or maintaining 
this equipment. Consult your employer for proper respiratory protection.
