Lavina Propane Grinders
Superabrasive offers the widest range of propane floor grinders and is the market leader in this equipment category. Propane grinders are cordless and eliminate the need for electrical power or generators on the job site, which reduces cost and set up time. They are also easier to move around on large projects.
Important! When propane equipment is used indoors, proper air ventilation with access to FRESH AIR and proper equipment maintenance (oil and filter changes, etc) are of critical importance for operator’s safety. Operators should always carry a CO monitor or badge to monitor CO emission level and ensure it is within the safe range.
GRINDING TIPS
- Check dust skirt to make sure it is all the way down, touching the floor to reduce airborne dust. Replace skirt if worn out or damaged.
- When starting machine hold it firmly and start moving (don’t keep it in one spot while heads are spinning).
- Overlap around 25% of the machine work path between passes.
- To add more grinding pressure and grind more aggressively, put the weights down / forward.
- If you experience diamond glazing, try one or more of these: add water (mist surface), remove weights / reduce grind pressure, slow down rpms, switch to a softer bond tool.
- Always lock the weights during transportation.
- When stopping machine, keep moving until the grinding heads stop.
- To tilt the machine back for tool changes, move the weights back.
