Operating Instructions
46. The SATELLITE 480 Generation3 has axle height adjustment to make it easy to adjust the machine so it
doesn’t cause fatigue on the operator. To set axle height, adjust the axle height leaver to the vertical position,
or midpoint. This is a good starting point. After initial operation the axle can be adjusted. The axle lever must
be set as far back (toward operator) as possible without creating excess force on the operator during
operation.
47. Switch on the dust extractor.
48. Hold the handles firmly and switch the SATELLITE 480 Generation3 on by pushing the green button.
49. The controls on the SAT480 Generation3 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 Satellite 480 by using tooling with more surface area, or place weights supplied on the
brackets on handle for this purpose.
50. Continuing to use the SATELLITE 480 when constant tripping occurs, VOIDS THE WARRANTY.
51. 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 disconnected.
52. In the event of the machine pulling to one side all the time; adjust the axle height to obtain the best result.
(
See ‘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.
53. 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
‘DIAMOND TOOLING SELECTION GUIDE ’ .
54. Check for wear on magnetic plugs every 3 hours of use
55. See Section ‘PROBLEM SOLVING’ for tips on how to grind faster on tough concrete and how other problems
can be rectified.
56. 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.
