Introduction; Transportation; Storage - Sase PDG 9500+ Manual

Introduction

The SASE PDG 8000 planetary diamond grinders are designed for wet or
dry grinding of marble, terrazzo, granite and concrete. Their applications
range from rough grinding through to a polished finish.
It is extremely important all users be familiar with the contents of this
manual before commencing operation of either machine. Failure to do so
may result in damage to machinery or expose operator to unnecessary
dangers.
IMPORTANT!
Only staff that has received the necessary training, both practically and
theoretically concerning their usage should operate the machinery.

Transportation

The machine comes equipped with an electronic system called a variable
speed drive or a frequency converter. The drive enables the variable
speed and direction component of the motor.
The drive is located in the steel cabinet mounted on the machine chassis.
As with all electronic equipment, the drives are sensitive to excessive
vibration, rough treatment and high levels of dust. Much care and atten-
tion has been given by SASE to ensure maximal protection is given to the
drive. Note the shock absorbing mounting system used to mount the
steel cabinet on the machine chassis/frame.
When transporting, it is important to ensure the machinery is properly
secured at all times to eliminate "bouncing" of the variable speed drive.
Ensure the chassis or frame section of the machine is secured down at
all times when in transit.
The machine should always be transported under cover limiting the ex-
posed to natural elements – in particular rain and snow.
WARNING
The machine should not be lifted by handle, motor, chassis or other
parts. Transportation of the machine is best done on a pallet/skid to
which the machine must be firmly secured.
Do not attempt to slide the tines/forks from a fork lift under grinding
heads unless on a pallet/skid.
Failure to do so can cause irreparable damage to grinding heads of
machine and internal parts.
IMPORTANT!
It is recommended that machinery be transported with a set
of diamonds attached at all times to ensure protection of
locking mechanism for diamond plates.

Storage

The machine should always be stored in a dry place when not in use.
