Operating the Grinder
1.Make sure the diamond tooling is suitable for the material being ground
and that the tooling is correctly balanced. If wobbling or excessive vibration is
noticed, discontinue use, unplug the unit and inspect tooling and tooling plate.
2.Ensure that the grinding plates are in good condition and properly
mounted. Never use damaged tooling.
3.All countersunk bolts must be tightened to specifications and firmly in
place. Take periodic breaks to ensure that bolts are properly tightened, as
they can loosen during operation.
4.Check that the grinding plate is adjusted so that it sits level on the work
surface (use the bubble-level on the machine as a reference).
5.
Check that all nuts and bolts on the folding handle latch are tight and secure.
6.Raise the grinding plates from the floor.
7.Start the motor by pressing the black switch on the starter box.
8.Lower the grinding plate and begin grinding. Keep the grinding head moving
side to side on the work surface to create an evenly ground surface until the
desired results are reached.
9.When grinding for removal of coatings/mastic/over-layments it is important to
grind slowly (small bites) so that the unit is not overheated.
10.Use of this machine and common sense. If you are not sure if the machine
can do what you need to be done and do it safely, consult your supervisor,
employer or Legacy Industrial for clarification.
Stopping the Grinder
Depress the red stop button on the start box.

2.Lifting the level adjustment handle raises the back end of the grinder.
3.Lowering the level adjustment handle lowers the back end of the grinder.
4.Use “bubble-level”, mounted on the machine as a reference.
5.Secure desired grinder position by tightening the level adjustment fastener
Clockwise.
