ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATIONS
DANGER
AS SOON AS THE ELECTRIC MOTOR HAS STARTED, THE OPERATOR MUST BE IN A POSITION TO ASSUME DIRECT AND FULL CONTROL OF THE FLOOR PLANER. FAILURE TO ASSUME DIRECT AND FULL CONTROL CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
10)The 8FP/E Series electrically powered Floor Planer is stopped by moving the ON/OFF switch located on the operator handle to the OFF position. For safety considerations, it is recommended that the extension cord be disconnected from both the Floor Planer and electric power source whenever the Floor Planer is not in use on the jobsite.
STARTING THE 8FP/G SERIES GASOLINE POWERED FLOOR PLANER ON THE JOBSITE.
1)Position the Floor Planer on a flat and level surface of firm foundation.
2)Rotate the height adjustment lever counterclockwise to raise the Floor Planer to its maximum position above the work surface. This will insure proper clearance between the loaded drum and the work surface.
DANGER
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE WITHOUT FIRST DETERMINING THAT THE LOADED DRUM IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH THE WORK SURFACE. IF THE ROTATING FLAILS COME IN CONTACT WITH THE WORK SURFACE BEFORE THE OPERATOR HAS ASSUMED FULL CONTROL, THE ACTION HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PULL THE FLOOR PLANER AWAY. A RUNAWAY FLOOR PLANER CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
3)Refer to the material supplied by the engine manufacturer for the correct starting, operation and stopping procedures.
4)Allow the engine to properly "warm up" and operate without the requirement for choking. Check for excessive machine noise and/or vibration.

DO NOT OPERATE A GASOLINE ENGINE IN
CLOSED SPACES WITHOUT PROPER VENTILATION. GASOLINE ENGINES PRODUCE CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES. BREATHING CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY. EXCESSIVE LEVELS OF CARBON MONOXIDE CAN CAUSE DEATH.
5)Stop the engine in accordance with the instructions as described in the material supplied by the engine manufacturer.
CAUTION
If the Floor Planer and/or an individual component/accessory does not appear to be functioning properly, STOP and do not further operate the Floor Planer until the proper corrective action has been completed. If there are any questions regarding the proper operation of the Floor Planer, contact the Customer Service Department BEFORE further utilization. There is no charge for this service.
