Speed and direction setting is often a matter of per-
sonal 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.

The correlation between FWD/REV & Clockwise/Coun-
ter clockwise rotation can be said as follows if looking 
at the grinding discs from underneath the machine:

1. REV—Clockwise.

2. FWD—Reverse.

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 wall or object.

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 be-
tween the diamonds abrasives and fl oor being ground. 
The end result ishigher productivity than when the 
discs are set to run in opposite directions. 

For this reason, the machine is set so that both the 
grinding heads and planetary rotation are set in the 
same direction.

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 speed and direction have been nominated, 
switch on dust extraction or vacuum device.

It is highly recommended to use the Husq-
varna DC 3300 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 acceler-
ate to the selected speed over a period of 5 seconds.
