ADJUSTING THE OPERATOR HANDLE
HEIGHT
The Floor Stripper incorporates a handle that can
be adjusted to compensate for variances in operator
height. handle height can be infinitely varied between
the stop limits. No external tools are required.
Correct handle height can increase overall machine
productivity and reduce operator fatigue.
1) Loosen the handle knobs located at the rear of the
handle. Extend the knobs out approximately 1/2 inch
(13 mm). FIguRE 18.

2) Position the operator handle grips at a height
convenient to the specific operator. In most
configurations, the operator handle grips will be at
approximately waist level.
3) Tighten the handle knobs finger tight. Determine
the adjustable section of the operator handle is
properly secured tight against the fixed section.
Improper knob tension and/or improperly
securing the operator handle to the main
frame can result in an unstable platform
configuration. An unstable platform
configuration can result in property damage
and/or personal injury.
DETERMINE THE THREADED STUDS ARE
PROPERLY SEATED AGAINST THE SLIDING
SECTION OF THE OPERATOR HANDLE.
THE ADJUSTABLE SECTION MUST BE
FIRMLY SECURED TIGHT AGAINST THE
FIXED SECTION OF THE OPERATOR
HANDLE. IMPROPERLY SECURED STUDS
CAN RESULT IN INADVERTENT OPERATOR

SEPARATION, RESULTING IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
STARTING THE FLOOR STRIPPER ON THE
JOB SITE
1) Position the Floor Stripper on a flat and level surface
of firm foundation.
2) Install a blade per the procedures as outlined in this
manual.
3) Determine that the oN/oFF switch located on the
operator handle is in the oFF position.
UNEXPECTED MACHINE START UP CAN
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
4) The Floor Stripper is designed to operate from a
clean, 15 ampere, 115 vAC, 60 hz, nominal power
source. A clean power source refers to the amperage
available from the individual electrical circuit selected.
Additional electrical products already utilizing the same
circuit will reduce the available amperage, and can
result in starting and operational difficulties.
Operating the Floor Stripper from a power
source of improper voltage and/or amperage
will result in unrepairable damage to the
electric motor and related controls.
5) Providing proper voltage and amperage levels to the
electric motor is essential to obtain maximum
productivity and service life. Low voltage and
amperage levels will cause the motor to overheat. The
motor is equipped with an automatic thermal protection
device that will stop it before major internal damage
can result. After the motor has cooled to an acceptable
temperature level, the switch must be manually
activated to restart. FIguRE 19.
