GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Lavina® S machine is intended for grinding, polishing and buffing concrete, marble, granite, limestone and terrazzo surfaces
with diamond tools.
The Lavina® S machine is a three‐disc machine, which can be used dry as well as wet.
For best results, use only tools manufactured or recommended by Superabrasive and its distributors. Additionally, the machine could
be used for grinding wood floor surfaces.
The Lavina® S machine is manufactured and fitted for the above‐
mentioned applications only! Every other use may cause risks to the persons involved.
MACHINE CHARACTERISTICS
The Lavina® S machine is made of two main component sections:
MAIN DESIGN
The two main component sections are the carriage and main head.
The handle (Fig.1.2) on the frame can be adjusted by height and allows the operator to work in
a correct and safe working posture.
The halogen spotlight (Fig.1.2) enables the operator to work in darker areas.
Existing lighting system does not replace adequate overhead lighting.
The frame
The controls are positioned on top of the electrical box (fig.1.3)
The electrical box (fig.1.3) contains the electric switching devices and the
inverter. The main feeding cable is connected with a plug and socket on top. The motor
feeding cable is plugged into the socket located on the bottom of the box. The tank is on the
opposite side of the frame, so that the weight of the water has no influence on the operation of
the machine. The frame weight, on the other hand, is fully absorbed by the driving wheels. An
electric pump sprays the water through a front sprayer. The motor is mounted on the base
plate and is driving the three heads with a belt system. The planetary head is driven by a
second flat belt.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
The temperature range for operating the Lavina® S machine outdoors is between 41°F and 86°F
or 5°C and 30°C. Never use the Lavina® S machine during rain or snow when working outdoors.
When working indoors, always operate the machine in well‐ventilated areas.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The voltage (Volt) and power (Ampere) are displayed on a label on the electrical control box to
avoid any incorrect connection. Refer to these before connecting the power. To avoid electrical
shocks, make sure the ground power supply is functioning properly.
