Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your risk: work in a well ventilated area, use a dust control
system, such as
an industrial-style vacuum, and
wear approved personal safety equipment, such as a dust/particle respirator designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
Getting started with your new grinder
1. Loading tools –
Lean the machine back on the handle to expose the work
area and load the proper tools for your job. Electric machines
should be unplugged. Once all tools are in the proper
position, return the machine to upright. Remember if you are
using tools with PCD’s or Stripserts they have a leading edge
and must be loaded as such. Also, remember both of the
discs turn in direction of arrows.
2. Begin the leveling process -
With the machine in the upright position release the level lock
locking lever.
Rock the machine back and forth until the bubble level is
centered.
This gets the machine close to the proper operating position.
Return level lock to the locked position.
Lean back slightly on the handle to get the tools off of the surface and start the machine. Lower the machine to
the surface and do a short touch pass on the concrete.
You are looking for two complete circles.
If you see partial circles repeat the process until complete circles are achieved.
The bubble on the machine will not necessarily be centered once optimum operating position is achieved. It will
also float back and forth during grinding.
3. Attach the skirt –
Once the machine is leveled to the concrete attach the velcro skirt with approximately 1/4” space underneath
all around. You are now ready to grind.
Final note - If you are using tools that have no directionality they should be rotated occasionally for longer life
and the machine should be readjusted as needed.
