Superabrasive User Manual Original Language Lavina® 20N‐X 6/2017 STARTING THE MACHINE First follow the directions in the chapter on Safety Devices and Safety Instructions. Next, release the emergency stop (12), turn the Ready switch (Fig. 4.6 9) to the ON position to put the machine in standby mode. Check the potentiometer (8), and ensure that it is set to the working speed. If working wet, add water to the floor surface. If working dry instead switch on the vacuum unit. Finally, hold the machine firmly and push the RUN button (11). OPERATING THE MACHINE Guide the machine in straight lines across the floor, slightly overlapping the previously completed surface with each new line. 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 machine while tools are still running as they will mark the surface of the floor. When working wet, select the destination of the water feed with the water tap (fig. 4.2‐1) and periodically run the pump (fig. 4.10‐11) to release water onto the floor surface. Starting the pump is possible only if the machine motor is on. When working dry, check the floor surface periodically for dust accumulation. Check regularly to see 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 the motor comes to rest, as the tools could damage the surface. To stop the machine: 1.Push the STOP button (10) . 2.Turn the ON/OFF (9) switch in position OFF, this will cut the voltage to the invertor and the green light will turn off. While working do not turn off directly from the READY switch or from the Emergency Stop, but follow the steps above. Use the Emergency button (12) only in an emergency. Remember not to hold the machine in one spot before turning off the motor. ALARM The Reset button (4) will light when the inverter goes into alarm mode. The most common failure is motor overload. To exit alarm mode, push the reset button (4). A code on the inverter’s display indicates the type of the alarm. When the same alarm is repeated several times, it is imperative to find and eliminate the cause of it, otherwise the inverter can become damaged. ...

Superabrasive User Manual Original Language Lavina® 20N‐X 6/2017 8.TROUBLESHOOTING INDEX OF PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS 8.1 REPLACING POWER CORD AND PLUGS When replacing the power cord or plugs, always use cords and plugs with specifications as the original ones. Never use lower quality or different type cord and plugs. In addition, take into consideration the distance of the appliance from the electrical source. The greater the distance, the greater the resistance and the less current that will be available at the other end; there will be a voltage drop and the inverter will sign alarm mode. This can also happen if several machines are working on the same line or when the generator is underrated. In general our standard power cable can be doubled in length; if longer lengths are needed you have to replace all the cables with bigger gage rated cables for the length and amperage. 8.2 DISMOUNTING TOOL HOLDER TO CHANGING V‐RINGS AND FELT‐RINGS Figure 8.2.2 Figure 8.2.1 Figure 8.2.3 Figure 8.2.4 ...
