ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATIONS

DANGER

AS SOON AS THE CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCH ASSEMBLY BECOMES ENGAGED, THE OPERATOR MUST BE IN A POSITION TO ASSUME DIRECT AND FULL CONTROL OF THE SURFACE GRINDER. FAILURE TO ASSUME DIRECT AND FULL CONTROL CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

DANGER

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.

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

OPERATING THE SURFACE GRINDER ON THE JOBSITE.

Application: All Models.

DANGER

THE GRINDING PROCESS PRODUCES EXCESSIVE NOISE, VIBRATION AND FLYING DEBRIS. ALL OPERATORS AND WORK PERSONNEL IN THE VICINITY OF THE SURFACE GRINDER 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.

DANGER

EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN OPERATING THE SURFACE GRINDER IN THE VICINITY OF DECK INSERTS, PIPES, COLUMNS, OPENINGS, LARGE CRACKS, UTILITY OUTLETS OR ANY OBJECT PROTRUDING FROM THE SURFACE. CONTACT WITH SUCH OBJECTS CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF MACHINE CONTROL, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

DANGER

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

1)The SURFACE GRINDER incorporates counter- rotating discs for mounting a wide variety of

multi-accessory attachments. The counterrotating action results in a "self propelled" effect that substantially enhances machine control and reduces fatigue as long as the multi-accessory attachment 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. In most operating situations, direct contact with a protruding obstruction from the floor will result in the multi-accessory attachment becoming dislodged from the counter-rotating disc. This occurrence is intended to protect the SURFACE GRINDER from excessive damage and allow the operator to remain in proper control of the machine.

DANGER

ALWAYS MAINTAIN PROPER CONTROL OF THE SURFACE GRINDER. IF AN OPERATOR LOOSES CONTROL OF THE MACHINE, A "RUNAWAY" SURFACE GRINDER CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY. BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SURFACE GRINDER, THERE IS NO PROVISION FOR THE ELECTRIC MOTOR/ENGINE TO AUTOMATICALLY STOP IF THE OPERATOR FAILS TO MAINTAIN PROPER CONTROL.

DANGER

WHEN OPERATING THE SURFACE GRINDER ON ABOVE GROUND FLOOR LEVELS, EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION TO PREVENT LOSS OF CONTROL THAT COULD ALLOW THE MACHINE AND/OR OPERATOR TO FALL DOWN TO LOWER LEVELS. SUCH AN OCCURRENCE CAN
