These technical precautions must not be removed or
changed under any circumstances. While operating the
grinder the following points should also be kept in

5.0 Operating

After mounting the appropriate tools, the operation of the ALPHA
grinder can begin. Connect the hose of the dust collector to the
hose port of the grinder.
Adjust the grinder by turning the hand wheel of the height adjust-
ment so that the motor axis is 90° level to the floor. Lift the tool
from the floor by tilting the machine onto it's back wheels. Switch
the motor on.
After the motor has reached full rotation place the tools carefully
on to the floor. If the machine is correctly adjusted (see above)
it is easier to move across the floor. If the machine pulls to the
left or right, the machine has to be re-adjusted with the hand
wheel of the height adjustment.

The floor grinder can only be started when the tools are not
in contact with the floor. Do always start the machine in a
tipped position. The tools and discs may be hot after use.
Take care when changing them.
The machine should always be stored in a warm, dry place
when not in use. The floor grinder may only be operated
with the dust guard (Appendix diagram No.3).
Only original tools and spare parts are to be used. The grinder
should only be operated with all safety guards in position.
When changing tools, during transportation, cleaning,
repair or maintenance the grinder must be disconnected
from the mains. The operator must never leave the machine
unattended during operation. Before leaving the machine
all rotary parts must be brought to a standstill. Electric
models must be disconnected from the power supply.
Ensure the machine cannot roll or move by itself.
After any maintenance and adjustment all safety guards must
be refitted. Ear protectors must be worn. Eye protectors
must be worn. Safety shoes with steel caps must be worn.
When operating the grinder produces large volumes of dust
the grinder should be connected to a suitable dust collector.
Depending on the floor (floor coating) grinding can produce
gases. The operator must be held responsible if the gases
generated are hazardous and whether protection is necessary.
Grinding floors containing asbestos is especially dangerous
and can cause health problems. Special masks must be
worn which keep the breathing air clean. A dust collector
must be used and should be equipped with filters suitable
for asbestos dust.
The floor must be brushed before grinding to prevent loose
material collecting in the tools and then being thrown out
with force. Anchor screws and bolts in the floor can also be
seen better if the area is clean. If the grinding head strikes
an anchor screw or bolt then serious damage can be caused
to the machine and grinding head.
