Flooring Condition Qualifications
Use of the #00 Prep Tool requires that the surface to be treated is completely dry. For floors that have
excessive adhesives or built-up contaminants, a scraping of the floor will improve performance, but is
not required. As a general rule, it is best to inspect floor BEFORE beginning to note or mark obstacles
such as floor drains, protrusions from floor, and elevation changes in excess of 4mm.

Polished Concrete - EGT Polishing System (Dry Steps)
The EGT Diamond System is a coordinated metal and resin bonded diamond system to produce a
polished concrete floor using any of the eight models of P/M machines. The system is only to be used
dry and in sequence as numbered by tools #1 through #8. All tools are painted green or use green
velcro backings to indicate a matched system.
EGT #1 & #2
