Introduction and Description
This manual is intended to provide operation and service information necessary for the
safe and efficient use of the Virginia Abrasives Floor Grinder. Operating or servicing the
unit other than in accordance with the instructions given may subject the machine to
conditions beyond its capability. This may result in the machine failure or personal injury.
IMPORTANT:
Read the entire operating manual carefully before attempting to use the floor grinder.
Special attention should be given to the section entitled “Safety Precautions”.
The floor grinder is a sturdy, reliable and easy to use machine.
The floor grinder is fitted with a 1.5hp single phase motor. This motor offers a direct drive
to the grinding plate by way of a flexible coupling between the motor and the plate.
The shroud system is unique in design by automatically adjusting to suit segment height
and floor angle. This shroud system when used in conjunction with an appropriate
industrial vacuum unit helps eliminate dust during grinding. The shroud has 2 removable
sections to allow the operator to maneuver the grinder close to the wall. Please note that
fugitive dust will likely occur when using the grinder with the two shroud sections removed.
The floor grinder comes complete with a water connection for wet grinding, if required.
The water connection incorporates a ball valve that allows the operator to regulate the
water supply to obtain the best grinding results.
The floor grinder has a foldable handle which enables it to be easily transported in the
trunk of most vehicles. The rear wheels can be extended outward for added stability
during use. The operator can raise or lower the height of the handle to maximize comfort.
The newly designed lifting handle system makes the machine easy to lift.

surface (use the bubble-level on the machine as a reference).
5. Check that all nuts and bolts on the folding handle latch are tight and secure.
6. Raise the grinding plates from the floor.
7. Start the motor by pressing the black switch on the starter box.
8. Lower the grinding plate and begin grinding. Keep the grinding head moving side to
side on the work surface to create an evenly ground surface until the desired results
are reached.
Stopping the Grinder
Depress the red stop button on the start box.
Note:
The position of the axle may be adjusted as needed for leveling.
1. Adjust the vertical grinding position by loosening the level adjustment fastener
counter clockwise.
2. Lifting the level adjustment handle raises the back end of the grinder.
3. Lowering the level adjustment handle lowers the back end of the grinder.
4. Use “bubble-level”, mounted on the machine as a reference.
5. Secure desired grinder position by tightening the level adjustment fastener
Clockwise.

Safety Precautions
The Bycon Floor Grinder has been designed to minimize noise, vibration levels and to
provide maximum operator safety. However, incorrect use of the grinder may cause
serious injury and therefore the following precautions must be taken:
1. Do not use the grinder for longer than prescribed in your local environmental
working regulations, as the noise load from extensive daily use may result in hearing
damage.
2. Always use hearing protection, goggles, gloves and appropriate footwear.
3. Do not modify the grinder in any manner. Do not use a machine that has been
modified by anyone other than the manufacturer or authorized dealers.
4. Do not add weight to the machine. Use different grinding plates to achieve the
desired grinding performance.
5. Do not operate the grinder with the grinding head raised any higher than necessary.
i.e. tipped back on handle.
6. Always be sure that folding handle latch is secure and has not become loose during
use.
7. During normal use the machine is exposed to vibration. Occasionally check
machine for bolts/nuts which may have vibrated loose.
8. Do not allow water or flammable materials to enter the interior of the Motor.
Respirable Silica Dust Warning
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate
dust, mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or
illness, such as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
If you are unfamiliar with the risks associated with the particular process and/or
material being cut or the composition of the tool being used, review the Safety Data
Sheets (SDS) and/or consult your employer, the manufacturers/suppliers,
governmental agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH and other sources on hazardous
materials.
Use engineering controls to control dust, mist and fumes at the source wherever
possible. Use good work practices and follow the recommendations of the
manufacturers/suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH, and occupational and trade associations.
Water should be used for dust suppression when wet grinding/cutting/drilling is
feasible. When the hazards from inhalation of dust, mists and fumes cannot be
eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a respirator
approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the material being used.
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete and other materials containing silica may
generate dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand,

7
quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or
substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal
respiratory diseases, including silicosis. The state of California and other authorities
have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer. When
grinding/cutting/drilling such materials, always follow the respiratory precautions
mentioned above.
Troubleshooting
Symptom Possible Cause Action
Grinder runs for short time
then stops
The electrical power
current limit screw is not
adjusted properly
Adjust the current limit
screw located in the
Schneider housing to the
appropriate setting.
Grinder runs but does not
perform adequately.
Tooling is not matched to
the application
Re-evaluate tooling
selection.
Grinder vibrates during use
Grinding plates not
correctly balanced Replace grinding plates.
Grinding noise coming from
grinding head under no-
load operation.
Worn motor bearings or
drive coupling
Have machine evaluated
and serviced by authorized
service professional
Maintenance
Daily cleaning: The motor should always be kept clean. No water, or foreign materials
should be allowed to get into the interior of the motor.
Check operating amperage draw: While the motor is in operation, take care to keep
the operating amperage below maximum level.
Operational sounds: During operation of the motor there must be no rubbing sounds,
squeals or other random noises. Stop the motor immediately and restart after
inspection and corrections have been made.
Check the security of the adjustable folding handle latch periodically. The wheel
bearings use sealed bearings and require no regular greasing.
