Grinding head
The grinding head can be equipped with dierent grinding tools. The cover together with
the connected dust extractor ensures a good work environment. The cover ensures that
the operator does not touch any rotating machine parts and minimises dust generation.
Make sure that the cover is always in contact with the backing, so that no dust particles
can be released.

Functional description
The grinding disc with tted grinding tools is driven by an air-cooled electric motor. The
optimum speed of the grinding disc and grinding tools is set via a rotary switch on the
control unit.
Grinding pressure
INFORMATION
The grinding pressure is determined by the swivelling weights and the number of grinding
tools. The fewer grinding tools, the greater the grinding pressure.
If the machine is running at the load limit, this may be due to the position of the weights.
Fold the weights back to relieve the grinding head.
