Operating Instructions
• BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE: Raise the front of the machine clear of the working surface.
• START ENGINE AND ALLOW IT TO REACH OPERATING SPEED. Position the grinder at the starting point.
Bring the engine to full speed. Lower the machine onto the slab surface. Use a slow sweeping motion from left right
and back continously, and do not force the machine into the work, the engine or motor should not strain
when grinding.
• WHEN WET GRINDING: Water is required. Attach the water hose to the water hook-up valve. Use the valve to
control the flow of water.
• FOR DRY GRINDING: Provide a respirator and dust control system.
• FOR GASOLINE MODELS: Put the engine stop switch in the “RUN” position. Consult the engine manufac-
turers operating instructions and follow the directions for starting and breaking in the engine.
• TO STOP THE MACHINE: Stop forward motion. On gasoline models push the throttle to idle. Turn ignition
or power switch off and let the engine come to a complete stop. Turn off the water supply.
• WHEN MANEUVERING THE GRINDER: Tilt grinder back enough so it does not strike the slab surface. Damage to
accessories may occur with inadvertent contact with the slab.
• DO NOT FORCE GRINDER WHILE GRINDING.
• IF THE POWER SOURCE FAILS: Raise the grinder off of the floor. Disconnect the power source (i.e. the
spark plug wire on a gasoline engine). Inspect the accessories for damage. Replace damaged (or questionable)
accessories immediately.
• WHEN TRANSPORTING THE GRINDER: Disconnect the power source before lifting or removing any guard.
See the directions for changing accessories on page 9.
• WHEN HOISTING OR LIFTING A GRINDER : Always inspect frame and attaching hardware for damage
before lifting. Use proper safe hoisting and lifting techniques and hardware.
