HTC T8/RT8/X8/RX8
4 Machine description
4.1 General machine description
A grinding machine from HTC has been developed for processing various types of floor. It is
used to grind, coarse grind, prepare and polish concrete, natural stone and terrazzo floors or
other materials specified in this manual or material recommended by HTC.
Some grinding machines can be equipped with radio control. Radio control is an accessory
that eases the work considerably.
The machine is constructed from a number of main components, see below page 20.
The handle can be set in a number of different tilt positions. Choose a position that suits you
best, when the machinery is to be operated manually.
The machine's grinding head can be equipped with one of several different grinding discs
that are covered by a sealed sloping cover against the floor. The cover together with the
connected vacuum system provide the conditions needed for a good work environment. The
cover ensures that the operator does not come into contact with rotating mechanical parts
and exposure to dust is minimised. Because the cover is floating, the dust uptake is
optimised since it is always in contact with the surface.
Always make sure that a dust extractor is connected to the grinder during dry grinding to
prevent as far as possible exposure to dust particles of operators, people in the vicinity, the
grinder and other equipment.
The machine can be easily equipped with a large number of tools, depending on the floor
material to be ground. For more information about different tools, see HTC's website
www.htc-floorsystems.com.
Some grinding machines can be equipped with a Mist Cooler system for effective cooling of
the grinding tools. This system enables a very fine water mist to be diffused through a nozzle
over the floor surface, which cools the tools and thereby makes the grinding more effective.

WARNING
Dust.
Risk for personal injury.
The dust that is sucked up may be harmful if inhaled. Follow
local regulations and use breathing protection.
