4. OPERATION
PRELIMINARY CONTROLS
Inspect the working area as explained in the safety instructions. For wet use, fill in the water tank when the electrical
cable is disconnected. Connect the vacuum extractor and ensure that the vacuum hose is clear and it will follow the
machine easily. Plug in the machine and also make sure that the power cord is free to follow the working direction of the
Lavina 16® Pro.
ADJUSTING AND MOUNTING TOOLS
Mount the tools only after ensuring that there
is enough diamond bond material left. Be sure
that the plates are always clean before
mounting. Always use the tool holder key
(Fig.4.1)
Diamond tools with Velcro are attached on
three foam plates of 9 inch. The foam plates
(Fig. 4.2) are mounted the same way as the
other tools.

STARTING THE MACHINE
First, follow the directions in chapter Safety Devices and Safety Instructions. Next,
pull the emergency stop (1) to ensure that the machine is in working condition. Check
the potentiometer (6) and ensure that it is set at the working speed. If working wet,
add water to the floor surface. If working dry, omit this step, and instead, switch on the vacuum unit. Finally, hold the
machine firmly and turn the start switch (5).
OPERATING THE MACHINE
Guide the machine in straight lines across the floor, and with each new line overlap a little bit of the previously
completed surface. Work at a constant speed allowing the tools time to work at a speed appropriate for the tools’ grit
size. Avoid vibrations. Do not stop the Lavina 16® Pro machine in one spot while the tools are still working because
they will leave marks on the floor surface. When working wet, open the water tank periodically to release water onto the
floor surface. When working dry, check the floor surface periodically to ensure that dust is not accumulating on the
surface, also check regularly if your vacuum works properly.
STOPPING THE MACHINE
The stopping of the machine must be done gradually until the motor stops. Do not stop moving the machine before
arresting the motor as the tools could damage the surface. To stop push the off button (5). Use the Emergency button
(1) only in emergency or use it to switch the power totally off.
Remember not to hold the machine in one spot before turning off the motor.
ALARM
The Alarm led (2) will light incase and stays lighted the inverter is in alarm mode. The most common failure is motor in
overload. To reset the alarm mode, disconnect the machine from the power supply.
POWER LOSS LED
When the machine stops working and the power loss led (3) flashes means that the power connection is disconnected.
