no it is single-phase on that machine
Thanks, I just missed a liiittle detail 
I've now run 1 day with an M1 (Silver), went back and forth over the floor 3-4 times slowly and then focused on specific spots.
On the second day (today) I wiped up the floor and see that there's still quite a bit of glue left . I'm installing another tool that's supposed to be stronger (according to them), this tool is gold and has 3 triangles on each part. I've also wet the floor a bit to avoid so much dust (I don't have a vacuum that fits the machine). Unfortunately, it's still taking an extremely long time to remove the smallest areas with glue. I'm now focusing on the worst glue spots, but you can stand and hold the machine in the same place for 1-2 minutes without it disappearing. Sure, it disappears after a while but it takes a looooong time and we have 28m2.
Could I have missed something? Or is it really this time-consuming?
Worth mentioning is that I received a set meant to help determine the hardness of the concrete and it was slightly scratched by 4-5 which should be M1 silver, i.e. the one I used yesterday, the others scratch a bit more and as I understood, that's why I was supposed to use the gold tool.

gold is step two after silver but what you have is H2 i.e. made for floors with good concrete quality I don't think it's the right segment for a basement usually it's quite soft under the adhesive but you don't need to grind everything away to lay tiles on the floor regards Andreas
Thank you, here you can see the result: https://www.byggahus.se/forum/golv/261849-kan-man-lagga-klinkers-pa-detta-golv.html
looked good I don't think you need to be worried about what's left if it doesn't smell
I did the same thing with my laundry room this summer, but when I pulled up the wet room carpet, there was no glue left, so there was nothing to sand away as I had expected...?!
Still want to remove the glue, have tried with a wire brush but unfortunately it just turns black and even harder to see if there's glue left. I've been advised to attach a grinding disc with diamond to the drill but they don't seem easy to find.
Right now, the floor is only spotty yellow, and if I had a hand tool that effectively sanded it off, it would probably take 1-2 hours in total (not counting the corners).
I've considered renting the HTC machine again, but it feels unnecessary. Maybe there's a handheld sander I could rent?

rent a dg150 together with a vcd 50 (hand machine and vacuum cleaner)
it will be good good luck
Went to pick up the stuff at Cramo today, unfortunately, they had brought in the wrong machine, so instead I got a Flex Electronic 1400 watt. According to the salesperson, the Hilti DG 150 sounded a bit excessive for just removing some glue, it was apparently a bit bigger and had its own power supply in some way. However, if the Flex doesn't get the job done, we'll have to find a solution somehow, so we'll see how it goes.
The flex is going great, a bit better to work with hiltin but it doesn't matter for your job. Best regards, Andreas
I've used the flex machine now, and it was really effective! I’ve gone over pretty much all the spots now plus the edges. Sometimes it likes to catch on the floor and make deeper grooves, and then you have to even them out a bit. Hopefully, this won't be a problem with the tiling. The vacuum cleaner also worked really well; I managed to get around 4/5 of the edges before it got full and the room started filling with dust. But it was just a matter of going out, shaking off the filter, and emptying the bag.
The only problem is that it leaves 2-3 cm inside the edges, so I guess I’ll have to scrape that a bit myself, but otherwise, there might be some glue left.
Thanks for the great machine suggestions.
I wonder if I should use this one instead of the big sander when I later tackle the laundry room at 9 m2; it felt more effective.

is there not an openable cover on the flex?
