Grinding guide Diamonds

Background

The diamond segment comprises usually of two
components:

• Diamonds (also called diamond crystals or corn).
Changing the size of the diamonds or corn will change
the coarseness or fineness of the scratches after the
grinding process.

• A bonding agent (metal or plastic). Powder is mixed
and suspended in a metal or plastic bonding agent. If
metal is used as a bonding agent, the finished product
is called metal-bonded or sintered diamond segment.
If plastic is used as a bonding agent, the finished
product is called plastic-bonded diamonds or
polishing disc. By changing the hardness of the
bonding agent, you can change how quickly or slowly
the diamond abrasive is worn down.

General Principles

General rules for using diamond tools when grinding
follow below. As with all rules, there are exceptions or
occasions when they do not apply.

Diamond grit size

Changing the size of the diamond grit to a smaller
particle/grit size will effect the performance of the
diamond tool in the following ways:

• Create a finer scratch pattern.

• Increased service life of diamond tools.
The opposite will occur when changing to a larger

particle/grit size.

Binding agent

Increasing hardness of bond will:

• Create a finer scratch pattern.

• Increased service life of diamond tools.

• Decrease production rate.
The opposite will occur when making the metal or resin

bond softer.

Number of diamond tools under the machine

An increased number of tools under the machine leads to:

• Reduce pressure on each individual diamond
segment - reduce wear rate on diamond segments.

• Reduce load

on the machine and cause the grinder to

draw less current.

• Create a smoother scratch pattern (particularly on soft
floors).

The reverse happens if you reduce the number of tools
under the machine.

Summary of diamond principles

The diamond tools must be worn in order to give a high
grinding efficiency. The wear on diamond tools can be
affected by the following factors:

• Pressure.

• Hardness of bond.

• Diamond grit size.

• Number of segments under the machine.

• Adding an additional abrasive (e.g. sand, silicone
carbide) on the floor will increase wear.

Generally, the faster a diamond segment wears, the faster
the productivity will be. By varying the above factors,
changes can also be made to effect the following:

• Scratch pattern.

• Current draw of machine.

• Flatness of floor (see next section).

• Ease of operation.

Determining the hardness of
concrete

All concretes are measured by their compressive strength
and depending on which part of the world you are from,
different compressive strength indices (e.g. PSi & MPa)
are used. Generally, the higher the compressive strength
rating, the harder the concrete and therefore, the harder it
will be to grind.

But there are also factors other than compression
strength that determine how hard a floor is and which
therefore affect the choice of diamond tool. As it is most
often only the top layer (5 mm) that we are talking about
from a grinding point of view, the surface treatment of the
concrete and the condition of the concrete surface have
many times a greater impact on the choice of diamond
segment than the compression strength.

Surface factors to consider when making a diamond
selection

Generally, if a concrete surface is very smooth (i.e. Most
likely it has been heavily trowelled/helicoptered), the
concrete will behave as if it has a high compressive
strength and therefore, require a soft bond segment.

Accordingly, if a concrete surface is coarse/aggressive
(e.g. rain-damaged, shot blasted, scarified, exposed
aggregate e.t.c.), the concrete will behave as if it has a
low compressive strength and therefore, require a hard
bond segment.

Surface coatings/contaminants (e.g. Epoxy coatings,
ceramic tile adhesives, levelling compounds/screeds) will
often have a larger bearing on what diamond to select,
than will the compressive strength of the concrete.

As a general rule, when grinding a concrete slab for the
first time and you are unsure about its hardness, always
begin with harder bond diamonds under the machine.
This will ensure the least amount of wear on the diamond
segments. If a hard diamond segment is not suited to the
application, all it has cost is a little amount of time without
wearing out the diamonds.

If performed the other way around (i.e. a soft segment is
used to begin with) and the concrete is soft or possesses
an abrasive surface or surface contaminant, it is quite
possible to wear-out a considerable amount of diamond in
very short period of time.

and that they are firmly attached.

• Connect the dust extractor to the machine.

• Use locking knobs for handlebar adjustment to set
most comfortable working height.

• Make sure the motor cable is connected to the
electrical box before the machine is plugged into an
electric socket.

• Plug the machine into an electric socket.

• Check that the emergency stop button is not pressed
by turning it clockwise.

• Check the motor’s direction of rotation

Starting

• Reduce the pressure between grinding disc and floor
by pushing down the handle without lifting the grinding
unit from the floor when starting.

• To start the machine. Start the machine by turning the
0/1 knob to position 1 (drive). The machine will then
start smoothly and accelerate to the set speed within
5 seconds.

Stopping

• Turn off the machine with the start/stop knob, turn it to
'0' (stop).

• Keep grinding segments in contact with the floor when
stopping. This will help bring the machine to a
complete stop quickly. Do not lift the grinding head off
the floor when stopping as this can create a significant
amount of dust in the air.

• Pull out the plug.

!

WARNING! Please read the operator’s
manual carefully and make sure you
understand the instructions before using
the machine.

Wear personal protective equipment. See
instructions under the ”Personal
protective equipment” heading.

MAINTENANCE

English – 19

Faults and trouble shooting

The machine does not start

• Check the power supply and the power cables to
make sure they are not damaged.

• Check that the emergency stop button is not pressed
by turning it clockwise.

• Check the overload lamp. If the overload lamp is on,
allow the motor to cool down for a few minutes until the
machine is automatically reset.

Machine is hard to hold onto

• Too few diamonds under the machine or the wrong
type of tool for the application (stiff adhesive or soft
floor coverings result in high stress to the machine
and the user if there are too few diamonds under the
machine). Usually also accompanied by high current
draw by motor.

Use the number of diamonds recommended by
Husqvarna to reduce the stress on the grinder and the
user.

Machine is jumping around

• Diamonds may not be fitted correctly or have different
heights. Check to ensure all diamonds are fitted
correctly and are the same height.

The machine stops after just a while

• The machine is overloaded and the overload
protection has been released. Reduce load. The
machine will reboot after about a minute when the
motor has cooled off.

• Ensure any extension cables are not under
dimensioned.

The machine stops during start-up

• The electric motor has overloaded and the overload
lamp is on. Give the machine one or two minutes to
reset and try again. When this does not help, contact
an authorised service workshop.

• Ensure any extension cables are not under
dimensioned.

Maintenance

Used correctly, the machine is an extremely low­maintenance and reliable product.

Daily maintenance

• Cleaning

• Electrical Feed

• Brush list

Cleaning

Always pull out the plug from the outlet socket before
cleaning, maintenance or assembly.

Always clean all the equipment at the end of the working
day. Do not use a high pressure washer to clean the
machine.

In order for the machine to always be cooled sufficiently
the cooling air openings must be kept clear and clean.

Electrical Feed

Check that the cord and extension cord are intact and in
good condition.

Never use the machine if the cord is damaged, hand it in
to an authorized service workshop for repair.

Brush list

Make sure the brush strip is whole and reaches down to
the floor.

Service

NOTICE! The lower hole for a higher handlebar and
greater grinding pressure. The upper hole for a lower
handlebar and less grinding pressure.

NOTICE! Good motor performance depends on proper
voltage. Extension cables that are too long and/or which
have a gage that is too small, reduce power to the motor
under load.

IMPORTANT! Inspection and/or maintenance should be
carried out with the motor switched off and the plug
disconnected.

!

WARNING! Never use damaged cables.
They can cause serious, even fatal,
personal injuries.

IMPORTANT! All types of repairs may only be carried
out by authorised repairmen. This is so that the
operators are not exposed to great risks.
