Drive wheel engaging and disengaging
The drive wheels are engaged with quick release pins. Remove
them for easy transport by hand. Line up wheel hub hole and
wheel hole to insert pin as following: Push the machine side wards
so, that the drive wheel lift up and rotate it to line up the holes.
Never load or unload machine on a ramp or incline when wheels
are in the disengage mode. Failure to do so could cause machine
runaway, damage to machine, damage to property or cause
serious injury.
Transport wheel
The transport wheel helps to move the machine easily and
eliminate damaging to the floor. Loosen the 2 rubber clamps and
rotate the handle forwards. Secure the handle by inserting 2
quick release pins.
5. Operation
Electric controls
The selection switch (1) is mount on top of
machine. Switch to 1 to activate the
frequency driver and the machine is ready to
drive with drive motor. The drive speed can
be adjust with the drive speed control (2).
The right switch lever (3) switch the drive
motor to forward and the left switch lever
(4) switch the drive motor to backward.
Switch the selection switch to 2 to activate
the vibration motor. Selection switch on zero
switch off all functions.

8
Height adjustment steering handle
Adjusting the height of the steering handle is possible by loosening the clamp levers (1) to find a comfortable
working position.
Narrow mode steering handle
To work as close as possible along the wall it is possible to remove the right handle grip. The handle grip (2)
can be screw into the opposite side of the handle. The internal switch (1) lever can be used to switch the drive
motor to forwards.

Blade choice
Proper blade size and placement, depending on material and sub-floor type,
affects performance.
- The harder a job comes up, for best results, use a smaller blade.
- Start with a narrow blade, then increase the blade size to optimize the cutting pass.
- Narrower blades work easier than wider blades.
- Narrower blades usually clean the floor better.
- Normally bevel on blade is up for concrete. Bevel down for wood or soft sub-floors.

10
Blade changing
Dull blades greatly reduce cutting ability. Re-sharpen or replace as needed. Always wear gloves when changing
blades. Use extended wrench to keep hand safely away from the edge of the blade.
Place a bock (1) under the front of the machine and loose the five hex head bolts and replace the blade. It is
not necessary to remove the bolts. Be sure that the blade is far enough under the blade holder, to insure a
secure hold.
Blade sharpening
Always wear gloves and safety glasses. It is not necessary to remove the bolts. Sharpen the blade mounted to
the machine. Using hand grinder, block up front of machine so blade is off the floor. Sharpen the blade with a
10 cm diameter disk with 120 or finer grit. Be careful not catch disk on edge or corner of blade.
Blade bevel up Blade bevel down
Furthermore there is the opportunity to remove the blade from the machine and to sharpen the blade at a
vice, obeying the same way as shown in figures above.
Start up machine
The machine must be off before plugging the machine into power source.
1. Selection switch must be on ‘0’ position
2. Turn speed control to slowest position.
3. Plug in the main plug.
4. Turn the selection switch to ‘2’ position.
5. Engage forward or reserve switch.
6. Increase speed control to desired speed.
The frequency drive has been factory set, do not change any setting of the frequency drive.
Do not lock the wheel drive into a permanent position. If the operator would lose control or be disabled,
the machine continues to operate.
