C) Adjust the height of the Cutting Drum to remove approximately 1/16 of an inch from the High spot
D) Set the Vibration Lock
E) Move the SG-2 in a smooth forward motion.
F) When the Cutting Discs are no longer contacting the surface, return the SG-2 to the starting position
G) Repeat Steps A through E until the Surface is level (See Figure 1)
II. Cutting / Grooving a Surface:
A) Configure the Cutting Drum for Grooving (See Section 3)
B) Adjust the Cutting Drum Depth until the SG-2 is cutting grooves approximately 1/8 of an inch
C) Move the SG-2 in a smooth forward motion
D) Should the Cutting Discs loose contact with the surface, repeat Step B and continue forward motion
