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.
