Only engage wheel when it is safe to do so.
Follow operating instruction set out earlier in this manual for grinding.
When finished switch off cutter wheel with button (4) and then switch off engine with button (2). Then
Control Cabinet
Open the control cabinet/cowl door to access the lever control, radio receiver and battery charger.
On the right hand side of the receiver is a switch, plug socket and some LED lights.

The plug (2) is for attachment of the cable for operation if the radio controls fail. It is also used for set-
ting up the controls for fine adjustment.
The battery charger charges the spare battery whilst the machine is running.

BATTERY CHARGER AND BATTERY CHARGING.
There are two chargers available with the machine. One is located inside the control cabinet. The oth-
er option is 240V. The battery pack is rechargeable and of Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) type.
The normal charging time for an empty uncharged battery, is approximately 5 - 8 hours.
The battery charger is constructed so that no damage will occur from long continuous charging.
The batteries effective operation time is about 8 hours on one charge.
When the battery is approaching time for charging, the machine will cut out and will need to be
changed. If the battery capacity is too LOW the control unit cannot be activated.
In order to reduce battery loading and for safety reasons, the control unit is turned off automatically,
after the unit has been idle for more than approximately five minutes.
