HTC 950 RX Introduction
1.0 1
1 Introduction
1.1 General
HTC 950 RX(R = Radio control, X = Four grinding discs) is a grinder that can be used
to grind, strip, clean and polish concrete, natural stone and terrazzo floors. The
machine's area of application depends on the choice of tool. You can easily mount and
replace the tool, thanks to the EZchange patented tool system.
The radio control means the operator is not affected by any vibrations from the
machine. Moreover, the grinding work is more effective since, for instance, emptying
the dust separator and handling the cables can be done at the same time as the machine
is grinding.
Read the manual carefully, so you are totally familiar with the machine before you start
to use it. Contact your local retailer for further information. For contact information, see
Contact Information at the start of the manual.
