3.1. General machine description

The machine is built around a number of main components -

see Figure 3-1 on page 9 and Figure 3-2 on page 10. It has

three motor options: 230 V 1-phase (EU), 400 V 3-phase (EU) and

115 V 1-phase (US).

The machine is built around a chassis with wheels. The motor with

a rotating grinding unit is attached to the bottom of the chassis,

so that there is some movement between the chassis and motor

package.

The handle can be set in a number of different tilt positions. Choose

a position that best suits you.

The grinding cover has a connection for an external suction hose

used for dry grinding.

The machine can easily be equipped with a large number of tools,

depending on the material to be ground. For the different tools, see

HTC’s Product Catalogue under the Grinding Guide tab.
