Floor grinder or Surface Grinders Petrol
FLOOR GRINDING VIDEO note: basic idea of how floor grinding works we do not have the machines demonstrated in the video but rather the machine in the picture.
Recommendations when hiring.
- Make sure you know where power switches are and if your grinder is for use on wet concrete or dry concrete. Some grinders can do either.
- Before starting the grinder, press the handle down enough to release the pressure from the grinding surface while leaving the disc on the slab surface. The reason for doing this is to help the motor reach its operating speed more safely.
- Concrete floor grinders have two wheel settings: one is meant for transport and the other is meant for grinding. Make sure the wheels are in the rear position meant for grinding before you start.
- Turn the switch on the starter to “Start.”
- After the motor reaches its operational speed, gently set the grinder onto the slab and start grinding. Continue the process by moving the grinder in a side to side fashion to eliminate swirl marks.
- If your grinder is suitable for wet grinding, and you want to try this method, you should lightly dampen the floor with a fine spray. This will help control dust. Don’t use excess water, because you’ll just have to mop it all up when you’re done. Use the same side to side motion for wet grinding.
- When you’re done, you need to clean up the grinder before putting it away or returning it.
- First, unplug the grinder.
- Next, use a hammer to knock off hardened bits of debris stuck to it. Use concrete dissolvers if a hammer doesn’t do the job. Rinse the machine before putting it away or returning it.
- Using a concrete floor grinder isn’t exactly difficult, but it does take a little practice to gain proper control of it so you can do the job most efficiently. This probably won’t take you long to get a feel for.
- It cannot be overemphasized, however, that you need to wear the proper safety equipment when using a floor grinder.Application: To remove paint or thin layers of adhesive on concrete floors or slight imperfections to a finished floor.
- NOT to be used to try and lower an existing floor level by more than 4mm.
- To avoid engine flooding always close petrol tap when switching engine off.
- Check oil every 2 hours.
- Rinse machine thoroughly with water directly after use.
- Machine uses u l p (green ) PETROL.
