11) The Floor Stripper is not equipped with a
centrifugal clutch assembly. The electric motor is
directly coupled to the exciter plate. The exciter plate
will begin to move when the electric motor starts.
AS SOON AS THE ELECTRIC MOTOR HAS
STARTED, THE OPERATOR MUST BE IN A
POSITION TO ASSUME DIRECT AND FULL
CONTROL OF THE FLOOR STRIPPER.
FAILURE TO ASSUME DIRECT AND FULL
CONTROL CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
12) The Floor Stripper is stopped by moving the oN/
oFF switch located on the operator handle to the
oFF position. For safety considerations, it is also
recommended that the extension cord be
disconnected from both the Floor Stripper and power
source receptacle whenever the Floor Stripper is not in
use on the job site.
IF THE FLOOR STRIPPER IS EQUIPPED WITH
A TOGGLE TYPE ON/OFF SWITCH THE
MOTOR CAN RESTART IF THE ON/OFF
SWITCH IS NOT MOVED TO THE OFF
POSITION WHEN THE POWER SOURCE
LOOSES POWER AND THEN BECOMES RE-
ENERGIZED.
13) If the Floor Stripper is equipped with a
magnetic start (push button) type oN/oFF switch, the
motor will not restart if the power source looses power
and then becomes re-energized unless the oFF
button is first pushed.
If the Floor Stripper and/or an individual
component/accessory does not appear to be
functioning properly, STOP and do not
further operate the Floor Stripper until
the proper corrective action has been
completed. If there are any questions
regarding the proper operation of the Floor
Stripper, contact the Customer Service
Department BEFORE further utilization.
There is no charge for this service.
OPERATING THE FLOOR STRIPPER ON THE
JOB SITE
THE COVERINGS REMOVAL PROCESS CAN
PRODUCE EXCESSIVE NOISE, VIBRATION
AND FLYING DEBRIS. ALL OPERATORS
AND WORK PERSONNEL IN THE VICINITY
OF THE FLOOR STRIPPER MUST WEAR
APPROPRIATE SAFETY EYE WEAR AND
HEARING PROTECTION DEVICES. OTHER
SAFETY APPAREL AND/OR PROCEDURES,
DEEMED NECESSARY BY SUPERVISORY
PERSONNEL MUST ALSO BE WORN
AND/OR PRACTICED BY ALL APPROPRIATE
PERSONNEL.
1) The Floor Stripper utilizes an offset
weight design (termed the exciter) that
moves the blade with a random orbit
oscillation. This design configuration substantially
enhances machine control and reduces fatigue as
long as the blade does not come in direct contact with
a protruding obstruction from the floor. Direct contact
with such an obstruction can result in rapid and jerky
directional movement of the machine. This occurrence
can lead to loss of machine control, property damage
and/or personal injury. In most operating situations,
direct contact with a protruding obstruction from the
work surface will, at a minimum, result in damage to
the blade.
EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN
OPERATING THE FLOOR STRIPPER IN THE
VICINITY OF ANCHOR BOLTS, PIPES,
COLUMNS, OPENINGS, PROTRUDING NAIL
HEADS, LARGE CRACKS, UTILITY OUTLETS
OR ANY OBJECT PROTRUDING FROM THE
