Operating Instructions
01. Wear clothes suitable for the job and for the work place including, safety shoes, hard hat, hearing protection, non-
fogging vented safety goggles, and dust respirator suitable for dust.
02. The SATELLITE 650 MkII must only be used according to the instructions given in this manual. Any other work
methods or practices could result in injury or death
03. WARNING! Disconnect power before moving the Handle to the ‘TOOL REMOVAL’ or ‘LIFT’ positions.
04. WARNING! POISONOUS EXHAUST GASES. Do not operate petrol powered equipment, including generators, without
adequate ventilation. Carbon monoxide is and invisible odorless gas that can harm or can kill.
05. Be sure all equipment is tested and tagged prior to use on any job.
06. Inspect entire area to be ground before grinding and remove any bolts or concrete nails (etc) that could damage
tooling or the machine and which could cause a hazardous situation.
07. Ensure there are no obstacles or existing structures that could present a hazard to the operator. If so, take necessary
action to eliminate the hazard.
08. Fold handle to the ‘TOOLING’ position and ensure it is locked in place, then tilt machine back so handle is resting
along the floor.
09. The machine takes a set of three (3) tools. Be sure the tools are of even height.
10. Install appropriate diamond tooling or other available tooling into the machine. Only use genuine SATELLITE tooling.
Failure to comply could result in bodily injury.
11. Tilt machine back onto the disk and put the handle in one of the ‘OPERATE’ positions. Adjust the position to one that
you are comfortable with.
12. Never attempt to adjust the handle position when the machine is in operation.
13. Connect machine to suitable power outlet. Only use heavy duty power lead suitable for high current use (preferably
2.5mm² cable), no longer than 15 meters.
14. If no power is available within the specified distance, have a qualified person install a suitable power outlet closer to
your work. Alternatively use 4mm² cable for up to 40 meters.
15. Connect a suitable dust extractor to the machine via a 38 or 50mm flexible hose. The machine is designed to take
the standard 50mm hose ends to make connection of dust extractors easy and hassle free.
16. Keep machine clear of drainage pits, grates, steps or major lips or such hazard. Failure to comply could result in
bodily injury and or could damage the machine or property.
17. Ensure machine is on a level surface and handle is in one of the ‘OPERATE’ positions
18. This machine is designed to operate with the wheels in contact with the floor at all times. Do not operate with
wheels off the floor.
19. The SATELLITE 650 MkII has axle height adjustment to make it easy to adjust the machine so it doesn’t cause fatigue
on the operator. To set axle height, adjust the axle height leaver to the vertical position, or midpoint. This is a good
starting point. After initial operation the axle can be adjusted. The axle lever must be set as far back (toward
operator) as possible without creating excess force on the operator during operation. See 24 below.
20. Switch on the dust extractor.

21. Hold the handles firmly and switch the SATELLITE 650 MkII on by pushing the green button.
22. The controls on the SAT650 MkII include an over load device. It is there to protect the controls and motor from
irreparable damage. If it trips it indicates a problem. (i.e.; undersize power lead or poor power to your power
supply). Refer earlier in this section for recommendations on power leads. Rectify the problem or decrease load on
the Satellite 650 by using tooling with more surface area, or place weights supplied on the brackets on handle for
this purpose.
23. Continuing to use the SATELLITE 650 when constant tripping occurs, VOIDS THE WARRANTY.
24. Do not attempt to make any adjustments while the machine is in operation. Any adjustments must only be
performed when machine is stopped and power disconnected.
25. In the event of the machine pulling to one side all the time; adjust the axle height to obtain the best result. (See
‘AXLE HEIGHT’). This machine is designed to operate with the wheels in contact with the floor at all times. Do not
operate with wheels off the floor.
26. After a few minutes of grinding check the wear of the diamond tooling. This will pay handsomely if the diamonds are
wearing out fast due to soft concrete / abrasive concrete. There is a wide range of diamonds available to suit every
need. See Section ‘DIAMOND TOOLING SELECTION GUIDE’.
27. Check for wear on magnetic plugs every 3 hours of use
28. See Section ‘PROBLEM SOLVING’ for tips on how to grind faster on tough concrete and how other problems can be
rectified.
29. WARNING! As with any diamond tooling, breathable silica may be generated by use and maintenance of this
machine. Silica can cause severe and permanent lung damage, cancer, and or other serious diseases. Do not breathe
the dust. Do not rely on your sight or smell to determine if dust is in the air. Silica may be in the air without a visible
dust cloud. If air monitoring for silica is not provided by your employer at your work site, you must wear appropriate
respiratory protection when operating or maintaining this equipment. Consult your employer for proper respiratory
protection.

Problem solving
Diamond Grinding has many variables. When you understand some of these, you can solve
a lot of problems without a lot of bother and expense.
NOTE: THIS IS A GUIDE ONLY
PROBLEM
CAUSE
REMEDY
EXPLAINATION
Machine will not start
/ run.
No power is present at
cable end.
Check the power is present
with another tool.
Using another tool confirms power is
present
Machine is trying to start
on glue or other sticky
substance.
Clear a patch with a scraper
and grind into the glue a little
at a time.
This means it only tackles a small
amount of glue at a time and keeps
the glue residue coated with dust,
preventing glue sticking and building
up on the diamonds.
Power lead is too small
in capacity or too long.
Upgrade the power lead to
2.5mm² (15meters max) or
4mm² (40 meters max).
The long / small capacity cable is too
restrictive and can’t allow enough
power through for the machine to
start / run properly.
Use weight on the handle.
The weight on the handle reduces the
load on the machine thus reducing
the current.
Machine is not
grinding at all.
No blades / accessories
in unit.
Fit blades. Note; check wear on
machine.
Very hard concrete or
glazed topping on
concrete.
Turn dust extractor down /
restrict flow. Only just control
the dust from escaping.
The extra dust accumulating on the
floor acts as an abrasive between the
segments and the floor thus exposing
the diamonds better.
Place river sand or cement on
the floor.
The sand is an abrasive as described
above.
Use softer grade of diamond
tooling.
The softer grade will expose the
diamonds better.
Use coarser diamond tooling.
The coarser diamond tooling can get
through hard toppings without
wearing out the diamonds too fast.
Reverse the rotation of the
machine (switch on the bottom
of the motor box)
The tooling exposes the diamonds
when reversed. This works best when
using plugs.
The diamonds are
wearing out too fast.
The concrete is:
*Soft
*Abrasive
*Rain Damaged
*A rough finish (Scarified
or shot blasted).
Use a powerful dust extractor
to remove as much dust as
possible.
The dust, as described acts as an
abrasive between the segments
exposing the diamonds prematurely,
wasting them.
Use harder diamond matrix.
The harder segments don’t expose as
easily.
Use tooling with more
segments or area² of segment.
The tooling with more segments or
area² doesn’t have the same weight
on them, reducing wear.
The diamonds are too
soft or too few.
Use weights on the handle
This reduces the weight on the
diamonds thus reducing the wear on
them.
