ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATIONS

EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN UTILIZING ANY SOLVENT TO REMOVE ACCUMULATED MATERIALS FROM THE SURFACES OF THE MACHINE AND RELATED COMPONENTS. MANY SOLVENTS ARE FLAMMABLE. DO NOT SMOKE OR INTRODUCE FLAME IN THE WORK AREA. PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND WEAR APPROPRIATE SAFETY APPAREL.

DANGER

PROPERLY DISPOSE OF ALL ACCUMULATED MATERIALS PER OSHA AND ENVIRONMENTAL

PROTECTION AGENCY CODES AND

REGULATIONS. MANY ACCUMULATED MATERIALS CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS HAZARDOUS AND REQUIRE PROPER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES. CONTACT THE APPLICABLE GOVERNMENT AND/OR PRIVATE AGENCIES FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION.

8)On job applications where the planing process creates a considerable amount of loose material, it can become almost impossible to determine proper cutting depths and the extent of work already accomplished. The problem is more compounded if a vacuum system is not used. Loose material should be removed by sweeping or other appropriate processes and the Floor Planer again used until conditions warrant removing the accumulated material.

Another side benefit of progressive housekeeping is increased V-belt life. The belt guard incorporates a bumper that is designed to push excess material away from the bottom sheave and minimize the amount of loose material that is picked up by the V-belt. Loose surface material can be extremely abrasive. A V-belt operating in these materials is subject to accelerated wear and premature failure.

STOPPING THE 8FP/E SERIES ELECTRICALLY POWERED FLOOR PLANER.

1)Rotate the height adjustment lever located on the operator handle counterclockwise to raise the Floor Planer to its maximum height above the work surface.

2)Stopping the Floor Planer is accomplished 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 Planer and electric power source whenever the Floor Planer is not used on the jobsite.

STOPPING THE 8FP/G SERIES GASOLINE POWERED FLOOR PLANER.

1)Rotate the height adjustment lever located on the operator handle counterclockwise to raise the Floor

Planer to its maximum height above the work surface.

2)Stop the engine in accordance with the instructions as described in the material supplied by the engine manufacturer.

Service

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST. Application: All Models

The normal operation of the Floor Planer produces extreme dirt and dust, along with high levels of random vibration. Before operating the Floor Planer, the following service list should be accomplished. This list is for reference only and is not intended to be all inclusive. Other subject areas can be added at the discretion of the owner(s) and/or operator(s):

1)Check all fasteners for proper torque values. If a fastener requires retorquing, consult a torque chart for proper value. Properly discard and replace any worn fastener with a factory approved, replacement part.

2)Check the V-belt for wear. Adjust or replace as necessary. Check pulleys for wear and proper proper alignment. Many loose materials created as a result of the operating processes can be extremely abrasive.

3)Keep the Floor Planer clean. Wash the unit after each use. Keep loose material from accumulating around engine cooling fins. Determine that the interior sections of the frame are free of material build-ups. Such build-ups can restrict the operating process and present a potential safety hazard. Clean and remove any material build-up from the Floor Planer after each use.

4)Engine service life can be extended with proper air cleaner maintenance. Consult the material supplied by the engine manufacturer for specific information.

5)Check for proper engine oil level. Always use clean, high quality engine oil. Change oil as required. Consult the material supplied by the engine manufacturer for specific information.

6)Remove material accumulations from the exterior surfaces of the electric motor. The electric motor is a totally enclosed, fan cooled (TEFC) design. Keep the fan fins clear of material accumulations to enhance air flow over the motor exterior for cooling purposes.

DANGER

DO NOT PERFORM PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS WITH THE ENGINE OR ELECTRIC MOTOR RUNNING. STOP THE POWER SOURCE AND DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG
