Setting speed and direction
Speed and direction setting is often a matter of personal choice. Operators are encouraged to experiment to find which
settings best suit the given applications. The following table lists some suggested set-ups for different applications.
Applications
Ceramic tile adhesive removal
Carpet glue removal
Epoxy paint removal
Rain damaged concrete
Smoothen exposed aggregate
Lippage removal in terrazzo/stone tiles
Concrete polishing with plastic bonded
tools
PIRANHA™ scraper tool
Re-grouting procedure during
HiPERFLOOR™ process
NOTICE! 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 specific is when using the PIRANHA™ scraper tools. In this particular application the setting must be in the
REV/REV direction.
