6) The Floor Stripper utilizes a factory supplied
extension cord equipped with an integral gFI device.
The gFI device is intended to protect both the
operator and electric motor in the event a ground fault
is developed during operation. The extension cord is
37 foot (11 m) long, fabricated from 12 AWg wire and
incorporates a NEMA 5-15P plug and a NEMA L5-15R
twist lock type receptacle. The twist clock feature
allows the extension cord to be pulled by the Floor
Stripper without becoming disconnected.
BEFORE USE, PROPERLY INSPECT THE
EXTENSION CORD AND WIRING DEVICES
FOR STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. DO NOT
UTILIZE A CORD WITH A WORN OR CUT
OUTER JACKET MATERIAL. DO NOT
UTILIZE A CORD WITH EXPOSED INNER
WIRES OR INSULATION MATERIAL. DO NOT
UTILIZE A CORD THAT HAS BEEN
REPAIRED WITH ELECTRICAL TAPE. DO
NOT UTILIZE A CORD WITH A CRACKED
AND/OR DAMAGED GFI CASE. USE OF AN
E X T E N S I O N C O R D O F I M P R O P E R
S T R U C T U R A L I N T E G R I T Y A N D / O R
DAMAGED GFI CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING, INCLUDING
EXTENSION CORD GAUGE SIZE AND/OR
LENGTH, MUST BE INSTALLED AND/OR
APPROVED IN ACCORDANCE TO LOCAL
ELECTRICAL CODES AND PRACTICES. AN
IMPROPER WIRING INSTALLATION CAN
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
7) Determine that the power source receptacle
to be utilized is properly grounded. This can be
accomplished with proper testing equipment and
procedures. If there are any questions regarding
the suitability of a specific power receptacle, contact
your dealer or our Customer Service Department for
assistance bEFoRE utilizing the Floor Stripper.
There is no charge for this service. A qualified
electrician may need to be consulted.
8) If additional extension cord length is required for a
specific job application, an additional extension cord
can be utilized in conjunction with an external gFI.
Plug the receptacle of the additional extension cord into
the factory supplied gFI. Plug the ground fault circuit
interrupter into a seperate power source receptacle.
Connect the extension cord plug into the external gFI.
This configuration will allow any fault over the length of
a defective extension cord to be indicated. Extension
cord gauge size and length must conform to National
Electric Code standards.
FOR MAXIMUM PROTECTION AGAINST A
FAULT, ALWAYS CONFIGURE A GROUND
FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER TO BE
PLUGGED INTO THE POWER SOURCE
RECEPTACLE. A CONFIGURATION WITH
T H E G R O U N D F A U L T C I R C U I T
INTERRUPTER PLACED BETWEEN THE
FLOOR STRIPPER AND THE POWER SOURCE
RECEPTACLE WILL NOT AFFORD MAXIMUM
P R O T E C T I O N A G A I N S T A P O T E N T I A L
FAULT.
9) Couple the NEMA L5-15R receptacle of the factory
supplied extension cord and the NEMA L5-15P plug
located on the Floor Stripper together. Twist to lock.
FIguRE 20. Connect the gFI to the power source
receptacle. Determine that the reset switch is in its
proper position to activate the gFI.
10) grasp the operator handle with firm gripping. When
starting the electric motor, apply a down force directly
to the operator handle to help reduce the amount of
static machine weight against the work surface. The
blade should remain in contact with the surface. Turn
the oN/oFF switch to the oN position. Reduce the
amount of applied down force on the operator handle
as the electric motor attains its operational speed.
