Setup and Operation
Planetary rotation direction
The correlation between FWD/REV & Clockwise/Counter clockwise rota-
tion can be said as follows if looking at the grinding discs from under-
neath the machine:
™
REV-Clockwise.
™
FWD-Reverse.
As mentioned earlier, when the machine is in operation it will pull to one
side. The direction of pull is determined by the planetary head direction
of rotation. The head of the machine will pull to the right (and therefore,
will be felt on the right hip of the operator) when the planetary head is
set in the REVERSE direction.
This sideways pull can be very useful when grinding, particularly along a
wall. Set the machine so that it pulls towards the wall, and then control
the machine so it can just touch the wall. This will ensure a grind close
to the wall or object.
Direction is also a matter of personal preference, however to improve the
cutting efficiency of diamonds, change directions on a regular basis. This
will work both sides of the diamond crystals, keeping the abrasives as
sharp as possible by creating maximal exposure of the diamond crystal.
Once both a speed and direction have been nominated, switch on dust
extraction or vacuum device.
IMPORTANT!
It is highly recommended to use a SASE BULL 1250 Industrial
Vacuum system for complete dust control.
