WARNING: Keep hands clear of rotating tools during operation. READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS before operating this machine.
4)STOPPING THE UNIT (Electric Models):
Stop the unit by turning the POWER SWITCH
[H]to the OFF position (See FIG. 6). Wait for all tool movement to stop before transporting the machine.
Start / Stop of Gasoline Models: [FIG. 9 & FIG. 10]
1)Start the engine by using the procedure in the engine operation manual.
2)Push Throttle Lever [L] up to, but not past, the START position (Position “2”) [FIG. 9 & FIG. 10]. In this position the engine clutch will be disengaged when the engine starts, so the accessory disks will not rotate.
3)Starting a cold engine: Pull the Choke Lever [O] upward. Pull the engine starter rope until the engine starts, then push Choke Lever [O] downward.
Starting a warm engine: Same as above, except that Choke may not be needed. (Choke Lever
[O] may need to be pushed downward into “No Choke” Position).
4)Move the Throttle Lever [L] past the START position (Position 2) so that the engine clutch engages and the accessory disks begin to rotate.
5)Hold the handles firmly and gently guide the machine over the work area. Note: For rough surfaces the engine speed (engine RPMs) should remain as low as possible. As soon as the surface begins to become smooth the engine speed can be increased, but running the engine at full throttle is normally not required.
WARNING: Keep hands clear of rotating tools during operation. READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS before operating this machine.
6)STOPPING THE UNIT (Gasoline Models):
Normal or Emergency Stop: Pull the Engine Throttle into the STOP position [Position M] [See FIG. 9, and FIG. 10]. Wait for all tool move- ment to stop before transporting the machine.
1)If the engine or motor stops during operation, check the following:
Electric Model:
a)Interruption to electrical connection: Check all electrical connections.
b)Manual Overload switch has been tripped: Single phase, 60 Hertz motors are equipped with a manual overload Reset Button [K] [FIG. 4]. If the motor stops because of an electrical overload and the overload Reset Button [K] trips, turn the motor Power Switch

a)Out of fuel: Check fuel level.
b)Low Oil Level: This unit is equipped with a shut down system that stops the engine if a low oil level is encountered. Check the engine oil level with the rear axle in the Operation Position [F].
All Models:
a)Excessively fast grinding could stall the engine
2)Engine or Motor runs, but Accessory Disks don’t rotate. Check the following:
