Introduction
Introduction
The Husqvarna PG 680/820 fl oor surfacing machines are designed for wet or dry grinding of marble, terraz­zo, granite and concrete. Their applications range from rough grinding through to a polished fi nish.
This manual covers the Husqvarna PG 680/820 series of fl oor grinders equipped with twin motor drive here after referred to as Dual Drive Technology™.
It is extremely important all users be familiar with the contents of this manual before
commencing operation of either machine. Failure to do so may result in damage to machinery or expose operator to unnecessary dangers.
IMPORTANT!
The machine should not be lifted by handle, motor, chassis or other parts. Transportation of the machine is best done on a pallet/skid to which the machine must be fi rmly secured. Do not attempt to slide the tines/forks from a fork lift under grinding heads unless on a pallet/skid. Failure to do so can cause irrepa­rable damage to grinding heads of machine and internal parts.
It is recommended that machinery be transported with a set of diamonds attached at all times to ensure pro­tection of locking mechanism for diamond plates.
IMPORTANT!
Only staff that have received the necessary education, both practically and theoretically concerning their usage should operate the machinery.
Transportation
The machine comes equipped with inbuilt advanced electronic systems called variable speed drives or frequency converters. These drives enable the variable speed and direction component of each of the motors. The drives are located in the steel cabinet mounted on the machine chassis.
As with all electronic equipment, the drives are sensi­tive to excessive vibration, rough treatment and high levels of dust. Much care and attention has been given by the manufacturer to ensure maximal protection is given to the drives. Note the shock absorbing mount­ing system used to mount the steel cabinet on the machine chassis/frame.
Storage
The machine should always be stored in a dry place when not in use.
When transporting, it is important to ensure the ma­chinery is properly secured at all times to eliminate “bouncing” of the variable speed drives. Ensure the chassis or frame section of the machine is secured down at all times when in transit.
The machine should always be transported under cover limiting the exposed to natural elements – in particular rain and snow.

What is what
The machine can be divided into two main parts. These can be identifi ed as follows:
1. Chassis/Frame section – comprising handle bars,
electrical cabinet, steel frame and wheels.
2. Head – comprising of motors, cover, grinding/satel-
lite/ planetary heads and internal components.
The machine has been manufactured to allow move­ment between the chassis and head via the connection point at the lifting lugs and chassis pins. This move­ment is important during the grinding process as it creates a “fl oating” effect for the head.
The fl oating gives the head a self-leveling effect, negat- ing the need to adjust the height of the head as the machine passes over fl oor areas with different slopes or undulations.
Control panel
The control panel consists of a number of switches and dials giving 8 separate controls (see picture).
IMPORTANT!
Planetary head and grinding heads are set to both turn in the same direction (i.e. both in clockwise rotation or both in counter-clock­wise rotation).
Clockwise rotation of speed control will in­crease speed of planetary head and grinding heads.
Grinding satellite/ heads
Planetary head
Power - This button, when depressed, will turn on power supply to the unit when the EMERGENCY STOP button has been released.
Emergency Stop - When pushed will immediately shut down machine by totally stopping power supply to drives/ frequency converters in electrical cabinet.
Head Speed - Direction control for planetary head rota­tion.
Fwd/Rev (Yellow) - Direction control for planetary head rotation.
Disc Speed - Speed control for grinding heads. Fwd/Rev (Red) - Direction control for grinding heads. Reset - Will clear fault function/error message on
drive/frequency converter (located in electrical cabinet) in case of fault occurring.
Stop/Run - To start or stop machine during normal operation.
IMPORTANT!
Dust extraction port
It is important to use the STOP/RUN switch to control the running of the machine, not the EMERGENCY STOP button. Each time the EMERGENCY STOP button is pressed it shuts down the drive/frequency converter. Frequently powering up and down of the drive/frequency converter will reduce the life span of the drive/ frequency converter.
Control panel

Setting up/Operation
Setting up/Operation
Position grinder on the working area. Make sure there are diamonds underneath machine and that the head locks/shear pins are tight.
IMPORTANT!
When using the machine, each grinding head must always have the same diamond type and number of diamonds as the other grind­ing heads. Each grinding head must have diamonds the same height as the other grind­ing heads.
Adjust rubber skirt so that a good seal is established between the fl oor and head of machine (see picture below). Ensure join in skirt is at the front of the ma­chine. Setting of the skirt is essential to obtain good dust extraction and eliminate the possibility of airborne dust when dry grinding.
Powering up machine
i. Ensure the STOP/RUN switch is set on Stop (rotate counter clockwise).
ii. Plug power supply to machine. Only turn power on at switch once fully connected.
Set handle to most comfortable working height using adjustment lever.
IMPORTANT!
It is recommended that this height be set as close as possible to the height of the opera­tor’s hip bone. When the machine is running, there will be a grinding force/pull to one side that can be felt through the handlebars. Use the hip to resist this force instead of trying to control this through the arms (such position­ing will be much easier for the operator using the machine over prolonged periods of tim.
iii. Disengage Emergency Stop button (twist clock­wise).
iv. Depress Power button. On doing so, a soft “clunk” should be heard to come from within the electrical cab­inet. This indicates the line contactors have engaged, supplying power to the drives/frequency converters.
Setting Speed and direction
On the control panel there is a FORWARD/REVERSE and Speed dial knob. Generally, when starting the machine for the fi rst time on any given application, it is advised the speed setting should not exceed 7, initially.
When the operator is comfortable with the application, speed may be increased.
10 - English
Setting up/Operation
Speed and direction setting is often a matter of per­sonal choice. Operators are encouraged to experiment to fi nd which settings best suit the given applications. The following table lists some suggested set-ups for different applications.
Application Planetary

direction
Ceramic tile adhesive removal FWD 6-7 FWD 8-10 Carpet glue removal FWD 5-7 FWD 8-10 Epoxy paint removal FWD 5-10 FWD 8-10 Rain damaged concrete FWD 7-10 FWD 8-10 Smoothen exposed aggregate FWD 7-8 FWD 8-10 Lippage removal in terrazzo/stone tiles FWD 5-7 FWD 8-10 Concrete polishing with resin bond pads FWD 10 FWD 8-10 PIRANHA™ scraper tool REV 3-5 REV 3-5 FLEXOR™ fl exible heads FWD 5-7 FWD 5-7 Bushhammer/Scarrifi er tools FWD 5 FWD 5-7 Re-grouting procedure during HiPERFLOOR™
process
IMPORTANT!
In the above table, FWD & FWD are listed together to indicate direction settings in the same direction (i.e. It can also be REV/REV). The only application where direction set­tings must be in the same directions and also direction specifi c is when using the PIRA- NHA™ scraper tools. In this particular ap­plication the setting must be in the REV/REV direction.
Direction of rotation
The correlation between FWD/REV & Clockwise/Coun­ter clockwise rotation can be said as follows if looking at the grinding discs from underneath the machine:
1. REV—Clockwise.
2. FWD—Reverse.
FWD 8-10 FWD 3-5
Direction is also a matter of personal preference. It should be noted, however, that when both grinding discs and planetary heads are running in the same direction, a more powerful grinding force is created be­tween the diamond abrasives and fl oor being ground. The end result is higher productivity than when the discs are set to run in opposite directions. It is here that you will also experience the beneift of Dual Drive Technology™.
Production tip - To improve the cutting effi ciency of diamonds, change directions on a regular basis. This will work both sides of the diamond crystals, keeping the abrasives as sharp as possible by creating maxi­mal exposure of the diamond crystal.
Once both a speed and direction have been nominated, switch on dust extraction or vacuum de­vice.
Planetary

As mentioned, when the machine is in operation it will “pull” to one side. The direction of pull is determined by the planetary head direction of rotation. The head of the machine will pull to the right (and therefore, will be felt on the right hip of the operator) when the planetary head is set in the REVERSE direction.
This sideways pull can be very useful when grinding, particularly along a wall. Set the machine so that it pulls towards the wall, and then control the machine so it can just touch the wall. This will ensure a grind close to the wall or object.
IMPORTANT!
It is highly recommended to use the Husq­varna DC 5500 dust extraction system for complete dust control.
Standing behind machine with handlebars set as described earlier, apply a small amount of downward pressure on the handle. Switch the machine to run mode using the STOP/RUN switch on the control panel. The machine should start smoothly and acceler­ate to the selected speed over a period of 5 seconds

Changing the diamonds
Changing the diamonds
As different applications require different selections of diamond tools, there will be many occasions when the
grinding discs need to be changed. Following is a guide for this procedure.
Preparation
1. Ensure STOP/RUN switch is in STOP position as
unintentional starting of machine while changing discs can result in serious injury.
2. Have a set of gloves ready, as diamonds can get
very hot during dry grinding applications.
Changing
1. Set handle in upright position (illustrated right).
2. Pull back on handle to lift grinding head off the
ground.
4. Lay machine back on the ground.
5. Put on gloves.
6. Remove grinding disc by slightly rotating disc and
then pull off (direction that the discs will need to be ro­tated will depend on the direction the machine was last running).
7. Check to ensure all head locks/shear pins are tight.
8. Once new diamonds have been attached, reverse
procedure to lower machine to ground.
9. As new diamonds may be a different height to set
being previously used, re-adjust skirt to ensure good seal is established with the fl oor.

Menus and information they provide
The following menu items/screens on the variable speed drive/frequency converters provide the following useful information to the operator.
OUTPUT FREQUENCY (Monitor Menu) This screen tells the operator the frequency the motor is running at when the machine is in operation. The value for output frequency should be constant when the machine is running. If there is a fl uctuation in output frequency when the machine is running, gener­ally this indicates the motor is running at or near the limit of its programmed current limit. The current limits (predetermined and set by Husqvarna Constructions Products) are as follows:
1. Large motor (which information is found on the large
variable speed drive/frequency converter) - 25 amps.
FAULT HISTORY The fault history menu stores the last series of faults experienced by the variable speed drive/frequency converter. If there is a recurring fault pattern experi­enced by the machine, the information can be obtained from the fault history menu. For more on faults, see trouble shooting faults
2. Small motor (which information is found on the small
variable speed drive/frequency converter) - 5 amps.
If there is a fl uctuation in output frequency when the machine is in operation, it is advisable to check the motor current as well. This can be found by pressing the UP arrow on the keypad 3 times. For trouble free operation concerning current issues, it is best to keep output current at or around 21 amps (for the large mo­tor). The current draw of the motor can be reduced by reducing the speed of the motor using the speed dial on the control panel near the handle bars.
Generally speaking, most over-current problems will be associated with the large motor (and therefore, monitored on the large variable speed drive/frequency converter). Keep the current draw on the small motor under 3.5amps for consistent operation.
MOTOR CURRENT (Monitor Menu) This screen displays the current draw of the corre­sponding motor (i.e. large variable speed drive/fre­quency converter monitors function of large motor, small variable speed drive/frequency converter moni­tors function of small motor) when the motor is running.
See comments already covered under OUTPUT FRE­QUENCY relating to motor current.
DC LINK VOLTAGE (Monitor Menu) This screen displays the quality of the power supply to the machine. It will read higher values when the ma­chine in standby and lower values when the machine is in operation.

Diamonds
Diamonds
Background
Diamond abrasives usually consist of 2 components:
1. Diamond powder (also known as diamond crystals or grit). By changing the size of the diamond powder or grit, we can change how coarse or fi ne the scratches will be that are left behind from the grinding process.
2. A binding agent (metal or resin). Diamond powder is mixed and suspended in either a metal or resin binding agent. When suspended in a metal binding agent, the fi nished product is referred to as a Metal Bond or Sintered diamond segment. When suspend­ed in a resin binding agent, the fi nished product is referred to as a Resin Bond diamond segment or pad. By changing the hardness of the binding agent, we can change how fast or slow the diamond abra­sive will wear.
General Principles
The following are general rules regarding diamond seg­ments in grinding applications. As with all general rules there are exceptions or cases when it is not the case.
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 fi ner scratch pattern.
• Increase the life of the diamond tool.
NUMBER OF DIAMOND SEGMENTS/PADS UNDER THE MACHINE Increasing the number of segments under the machine will:
• 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 fl oors).
The opposite will occur when decreasing the number of segments under the machine.
WET AND DRY GRINDING When using diamond segments wet, the following principles apply:
• Production rates will be higher than dry grinding.
• Diamond segments will wear faster (due to pres­ence of slurry) and therefore, harder bonds can be used (when comparing with dry grinding).
• Scratches from diamond grit will be deeper.
When using diamond segments dry, the following prin­ciples apply:
• Production rates will be slower on harder materials than if wet grinding.
• Softer bond segments will be required in order to encourage segment wear (as there will be not slurry to help diamond segments to wear).
The opposite will occur when changing to a larger particle/grit size.
BINDING AGENT—METAL BOND OR RESIN BOND Increasing hardness of bond will:
• Increase life of diamond tool.
• Decrease production rate.
• Cause diamond tool to leave fi ner scratches in dry
- grinding applications (when compared to a softer bond diamond tool with the same diamond grit size).
The opposite will occur when making the metal or resin bond softer.
• Scratches from diamond grit will not be as deep compared to if it were also used for wet grinding.
• There will be more heat generated by the diamond segment.
Summary of diamond principles
Diamond segments need to wear in order to achieve productivity. Diamond segment wear can be infl uenced by the following factors:
• Pressure.
• Hardness of bond.
• Diamond grit size.
• Presence of water.
• Number of segments under the machine.
• Adding an additional abrasive (e.g. sand, silicone carbide) on the fl oor will increase wear.

Diamond selection
Diamond Holder Disc
Full set of single segments
Position for Diamond segment
Full set of twin segments
Generally speaking, 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 fl oor (see next section).
Half set of single segments
Half set of twin segments
Diamond selection
The following section covers important factors to consider when selecting the diamond segment you are going to use for a given application.
Grinding disc set-up
The way diamond segments are set-up on the grinding heads of the machine will also greatly infl uence the performance of the machine, the productivity levels and also the fi nished fl oor quality.
• Ease of operation.
There are basically two types of diamond confi gura- tions that can be used when using the grinder:
1. Full set of diamonds – when there are diamonds
placed at each of the six positions on the diamond holder discs (see pictures above).
2. Half set of diamonds – when there are diamonds
placed at three alternating positions on the diamond holder discs (see pictures above).
English - 19
Diamond selection
Full and half sets of diamonds
By changing the way the diamonds are set-up on the diamond holder discs, an operator can signifi cantly ef- fect the performance of the machine and therefore, the nished product.
HALF-SET OF DIAMONDS When the diamonds are set-up as a half-set, they tend to follow the surface of the fl oor. Similar to a tripod for a camera, which can be placed on an uneven surface and yet still fi nd a stable footing.
The half-set diamond confi guration should only be used when a fl at fl oor fi nish is not required.
FULL-SET OF DIAMONDS When the diamonds are set-up as a full-set, they tend not to follow the surface of the fl oor. If the fl oor has undu- lations, the machine will grind the high areas yet miss the low spots (unless the high areas are ground down rst).
The full-set diamond confi guration should be used when a fl at fl oor fi nish is desired.
The below table gives some examples of possible ap­plications for the two arrangements:
Application Full set is best Half set is best
Ceramic tile adhesive removal X Carpet glue removal X Epoxy paint removal X Vinyl adhesive removal X Rain damaged concrete X Smoothen exposed aggregate X Lippage removal in terrazzo/stone tiles X Surface polishing of concrete fl oors X Grinding to expose aggregate in concrete polishing application X Remove lippage from terrazzo/natural stone tiles X Flatten undulations in concrete fl oors X Re-polish fl oors that have been ground before X

Diamond selection
Determining the hardness of concrete
All concrete may feel hard (particularly if you fall over on it), so what do we mean when we talk about hard, medium and soft 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). Generally speaking, the higher the com­pressive strength rating, the harder the concrete and therefore, the harder it will be to grind.
However, other factors beside compressive strength ratings determine how hard the fl oor will be, and therefore, the correct diamond selection. Since grind­ing normally only deals with the surface of the concrete (top 5mm or 1/4 inch), often the way the concrete fl oor has been fi nished or the condition of the surface will have a greater bearing on what type of diamond to select, rather than the compressive strength rating of the concrete.
SURFACE FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN MAK­ING A DIAMOND SELECTION
Generally speaking, 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, scarifi ed, 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 fi rst 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.

Maintenance
Maintenance
Used correctly, the machine is an extremely low-main­tenance and reliable.
This section covers the general maintenance items that need attention on a periodic basis.
There are three main mechanical items to check:
1. Grinding Heads.
2. Planetary drive system.
3. Planetary seal.
Grinding heads
There are 2 different grinding head options:
11. Conventional / Demolition heads—designed for heavy duty preparation grinding where an extremely robust system is required.
2. Spring steel head system—designed more for fi nish- ing or lighter grinding applications.
CONVENTIONAL/DEMOLITION HEADS The below diagram illustrates the main parts compris-
ing this type of grinding head.
The head pins are fi xed to the head plate giving rigid- ity and stability. The head mate is situated above the head plate and is held in place by a series of holes – head pin holes.
1.
2.
1. Head mate 1. Head plate
2. Head pin hole 2. Head pins
Between the head plate and head mate are 3 white silicone springs which give shock absorption and fl ex- ibility in the system.
The head pins are able to move within the head pin holes, creating a shock absorber type system similar to that in most motor vehicles.
Over an extended period of time, the head pin holes wear open. Along with this, the head pins wear and reduce in diameter. This combined wearing of the two creates excessive movement or “slop” within the grind­ing heads. This “slop” will eventually cause vibration whilst the machine is operating.

1. Head mate
2. Head plate
3. Head lock
4. Head spring
The interrelation between the above four components enables a dynamic system which is both robust and exible.
Routine checks for slop in the grinding heads are recommended. Life expectancy for grinding heads can vary between 6 and 12 months depending on amount of usage.
Replacement heads are available and simply bolt into place when the old ones are removed

Between the head plate and head mate are a series of white silicone springs, spacers and the spring steel spring which give shock absorption and fl exibility in the system.
Unlike with the conventional/demolition heads, the spring steel heads are able to move in a fl exible manner without any moving parts due to the presence of the spring steel spring.
Over an extended period of time the spring steel spring fatigues and the spring steel “fi ngers” begin to break off. This creates irregular movement within the grinding heads and will cause vibration when the machine is in operation.
Routine checks for broken “fi ngers” in the spring steel grinding heads are recommended. Life expectancy for grinding heads can vary between 6 and 12 months depending on the amount of usage.
Replacement spring steel springs are available and can be replaced without throwing the grinding head away.
The spring steel heads can also be made less fl exible by the addition of a second spring steel spring.

Maintenance
Grinding Heads Drive System
The grinder comes equipped with Dual Drive Technolo­gy™. As the grinding discs are driven by the large mo­tor via an internal belt, and because the belt is sealed inside the machine, there is no maintenance regarding this drive system until a major service (belt and bearing replacement) is due. This is typically following 12-36 months of operation.
Planetary Drive System
The second component to the Dual Drive Technol­ogy™ system is the planetary head drive system which is powered by the secondary or small motor and gearbox arrangement. This system is on the outside of the machine and will require routine maintenance. The planetary drive system can be seen as illustrated diagram 1.

Lubrication of this system will cause dust to build up in chain ring and drastically shorten the life of both the chain ring and planetary drive sprocket.

Diagram 1. Planetary Drive System
Beneath the gearbox and concealed by the mounting brackets and machine cover, there is a planetary drive sprocket situated on the output shaft of the gearbox. This planetary sprocket engages with the chain ring (also located beneath the machine cover) and together form the main drive mechanism for the plan­etary drive system. This system is a dry system (i.e. it is not required for there to be lubrication between the planetary drive sprocket and chain ring), to allow any dust that may come into contact with the chain ring to fall back out again.

1. Planetary seal
As the chain ring and planetary drive sprocket are located beneath the cover of the machine, yet on the outside of the machine, there lies the potential that they can be exposed to dust and other debris created during the grinding process.
To prevent this as much as possible, a planetary seal has been installed to stop dust and other particles from coming into contact with the planetary drive mecha­nism.

Maintenance
The effectiveness of the planetary seal can be moni­tored by the simple removal of the planetary motor / gearbox system by removing the four bolts shown below.
Remove 2 bolts either side.

Remove this bolt.
Inspect for dust build up here
If the planetary seal is working effectively, there should be a very minimal amount of dust observed under the cover of the machine. If there is a build-up of 5­6mm (1/4 inch), then it is more than likely it is time to remove the machine cover and check the condition of the planetary seal.
