DANGER

INCORRECT USE OF THE FLOOR PLANER CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. TO REDUCE THIS POSSIBILITY, GIVE COMPLETE AND UNDIVIDED ATTENTION TO THE JOB AT HAND AND FOLLOW THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

PREPARATION.

1)This FLOOR PLANER is specialized type of powered equipment, designed for a specific job function and requires adequate and thorough instruction BEFORE it is operated. The size, power, complexity and operating characteristics of this type of powered equipment would dictate that each operator must receive adequate, professional instruction regarding the proper operation of this FLOOR PLANER before being allowed to utilize it. BEFORE attempting to utilize this FLOOR PLANER, read this Operator's Manual, the applicable Safety and Operational Information Video Tape and the material supplied by the engine manufacturer to familiarize each operator with its correct operating procedures.

Avoid the urge not to take the necessary time to read this Operator's Manual before operating the FLOOR PLANER. DO NOT OPERATE THE FLOOR PLANER UNTIL EACH OPERATOR COMPLETELY COMPREHENDS THE CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL AND THE APPLICABLE SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL INFORMATION VIDEO TAPE.

2)Develop a comprehensive program for the safe operation of the FLOOR PLANER by its owner(s) and/or operator(s). Such a program will include, but is not limited to: instructional requirements for operation, applicable OSHA requirements, local laws and regulations, job site safety and a FLOOR PLANER

maintenance program. Constantly examine and upgrade this program to guarantee owner(s) and/or operator(s) safety. Each operator must be fully instructed regarding the specifics of this safety program.

3)Determine that the FLOOR PLANER is in its original, factory configuration and has not been modified in any manner. Many modifications can result in potentially dangerous configurations that can lead to property damage and/or personal injury. If there are any questions about possible modifications made to the FLOOR PLANER, contact the Customer Service Department for specific information BEFORE utilization. There is no charge for this service. Do not operate the FLOOR PLANER without the use of the original equipment V-belt and diamond blade guards. Use of the FLOOR PLANER without an approved belt guard and/or diamond blade guard can lead to property damage and/or personal injury.

4)Minors should never be allowed to operate the FLOOR PLANER. Bystanders, especially children and animals, should not be allowed in the area where the FLOOR PLANER is in use. The sawing process can result in flying particles being emitted at high velocity and striking the operator and/or onlookers. This can lead to the possibility of property damage and/or personal injury. Keep all body parts, loose clothing, foreign objects and onlookers clear of the rotating diamond blade, caster wheels, main wheels and flying particles.

5)Operators must be in adequate physical condition, mental health and not under the influence of any substance (drugs, alcohol, etc.) which might impair vision, dexterity or judgment. Working with the FLOOR PLANER is strenuous. If you have any condition that might be aggravated by strenuous work, check with your doctor BEFORE operating the FLOOR PLANER. Guard against the possibility of back related injuries. Always lift the FLOOR PLANER with leg muscles and not with the back.
