2. Secure the rods using the fixing set, ensuring a firm connection.
3. Adjust the height of the extension rod to a comfortable working position.

4.3 Connecting the Water Pump (for wet grinding)

1. Attach the water hose to the designated inlet on the grinder.
2. Connect the other end of the hose to the water pump.
3. Place the water pump in a bucket of clean water.
4. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On/Off and Speed Control

1. Plug the grinder into a suitable power outlet (220V).
2. To turn on, pull the trigger switch.
3. For continuous operation, pull the trigger and then press the self-locking button. Release the trigger to maintain power. To turn off, pull the trigger again to release the lock.
4. Adjust the grinding speed using the 6-speed rotary dial. Speed 1-2 is suitable for marble polishing, while speeds 3-6 are for aggressive concrete grinding and epoxy removal.

5.2 Grinding Techniques

• General Grinding: Hold the grinder firmly with both hands. Apply even pressure and move the tool in a consistent pattern across the surface.
• Edge Grinding: The detachable dust shroud allows for close-to-edge grinding (within 0.5mm). Position the grinder carefully along the edge.
• Handheld Mode: For smaller areas or detailed work, the grinder can be used without the extension rod.
• Walk-Behind Mode: For large floor areas, use the extension rod for comfortable upright operation.

5.3 Dust Collection and Water System

• Connect an industrial vacuum cleaner to the dual dust extraction ports on the shroud for effective dust capture.
• When performing wet grinding, ensure the water pump is activated and providing a steady flow of water to the grinding surface. This helps cool the discs and suppress dust.

6.1 Cleaning

• After each use, unplug the tool and clean off any dust or debris from the housing, vents, and grinding plate.
• Use a dry cloth or soft brush. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

6.2 Disc Replacement

• Regularly inspect grinding discs for wear or damage. Replace worn discs promptly to maintain performance and safety.
• Follow the steps in Section 4.1 in reverse to remove old discs, then attach new ones securely.

6.3 Carbon Brush Replacement
