09. Never start or run machine when it is unattended.
10. Check for wear on magnetic plugs every 3 hours of use
11. This machine is only intended for use on floor surfaces such as concrete, terrazzo and other hard floor surfaces.
12. The handle height is adjustable with different positions for operator comfort. These positions are shown next to the
locking mechanism as ‘OPERATE’. The SATELLITE 480 must never be started or used with the handle in any other position
other than the ‘OPERATE’ positions’
13. Never attempt to adjust the handle position when the machine is in operation.
14. Never start or run machine with the handle folded or when disk(s) are not in contact with the surface.
15. Do not lend or rent machine without the operating and safety instructions for the machine (and the engine, if
applicable).
16. Wear clothing suitable for the job and for the work place including, safety shoes, hard hat, hearing protection, non-

Safety instructions
18. Do not modify machine in any way. Only use genuine SATELLITE parts and accessories.
19. Repairs should be performed by qualified persons only.
20. Ensure parts have stopped moving and disconnect power or spark plug when servicing or changing blades or accessories.
21. Never operate machine in rain or if heavy moisture is present.
22. Petrol is extremely flammable and poisonous. Petrol should only be dispensed in well ventilated areas, and only when
engine is cool.
23. 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.
24. Do not operate SATELLITE 480 with any covers or doors removed or open.
25. The SATELLITE 480 can produce sound pressure levels greater than 85db. The operator must wear approved safety ear
protection.
26. Do not allow the supply cord to come in contact with the cutting blade/head or other moving parts of this machine.

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 480 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 ‘TOOLING POSITION’ 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. See section ‘TOOLING POSITION’ for illustrations on how to remove and
install tooling
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 480 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.
20. Switch on the dust extractor.

21. Hold the handles firmly and switch the SATELLITE 480 MkII on by pushing the green button.
22. The controls on the SAT480 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
480 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 480 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.
