Problem solving
Diamond Grinding has many variables. When you understand some of these, you can solve
a lot of problems without a lot of bother and expense.
NOTE: THIS IS A GUIDE ONLY
PROBLEM
CAUSE
REMEDY
EXPLAINATION
Machine will not start
/ run.
No power is present at
cable end.
Check the power is present
with another tool.
Using another tool confirms power is
present
Machine is trying to start
on glue or other sticky
substance.
Clear a patch with a scraper
and grind into the glue a little
at a time.
This means it only tackles a small
amount of glue at a time and keeps
the glue residue coated with dust,
preventing glue sticking and building
up on the diamonds.
Power lead is too small
in capacity or too long.
Upgrade the power lead to
2.5mm² (15meters max) or
4mm² (40 meters max).
The long / small capacity cable is too
restrictive and can’t allow enough
power through for the machine to
start / run properly.
Use weight on the handle.
The weight on the handle reduces the
load on the machine thus reducing
the current.
Machine is not
grinding at all.
No blades / accessories
in unit.
Fit blades.
Note; check wear on
machine.
Very hard concrete or
glazed topping on
concrete.
Turn dust extractor down /
restrict flow. Only just control
the dust from escaping.
The extra dust accumulating on the
floor acts as an abrasive between the
segments and the floor thus exposing
the diamonds better.
Place river sand or cement on
the floor.
The sand is an abrasive as described
above.
Use softer grade of diamond
tooling.
The softer grade will expose the
diamonds better.
Use coarser diamond tooling.
The coarser diamond tooling can get
through hard toppings without
wearing out the diamonds too fast.
Reverse the rotation of the
machine (switch on the bottom
of the motor box)
The tooling exposes the diamonds
when reversed. This works best when
using plugs.
The diamonds are
wearing out too fast.
The concrete is:
*Soft
*Abrasive
*Rain Damaged
*A rough finish (Scarified
or shot blasted).
Use a powerful dust extractor
to remove as much dust as
possible.
The dust, as described acts as an
abrasive between the segments
exposing the diamonds prematurely,
wasting them.
Use harder diamond matrix.
The harder segments don’t expose as
easily.
Use tooling with more
segments or area² of segment.
The tooling with more segments or
area² doesn’t have the same weight
on them, reducing wear.
The diamonds are too
soft or too few.
Use weights on the handle
This reduces the weight on the
diamonds thus reducing the wear on
them.
