ALPHA FLOOR GRINDER
OWNER'S MANUAL AND PARTS BOOK

OPERATION

Operating
After mounting the appropriate tools, the operation of the grinder can begin.
Adjust the grinder by loosening the screws of the rear wheel swing (Appendix diagram No. 3)
and changing its position in the slots so that the motor axis is 90° level to the floor. Tighten the
screws again. Connect the grinder to the mains. Lift the tool from the floor by tilting the machine
onto its back wheels. Switch the motor on.
After the motor has reached full speed, place the grinding head carefully on the floor. If the
machine is correctly adjusted (see above) it is easy to move across the floor. If the machine
pulls to the left or right, the machine must be re-adjusted by changing the position of the rear
wheel swing (see above).
Dust emission should be prevented by connecting a dust collector.
ATTENTION: When switching on the motor, the machine may jump slightly due to
rotating tooling.
ATTENTION: Never switch on machine while the grinding head is on the floor.
Stopping Procedure
Before finishing the grinding process the machine must be switched off and the tools must be
brought to a standstill by letting them touch the floor. Disconnect from the power supply.
