SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
personal injury. Keep all body parts, loose clothing and foreign objects clear of the oscillating blade/accessory
5)Start the motor according to the instructions as outlined in this manual to minimize the possibility of unexpected blade/accessory oscillation. Unexpected blade/accessory oscillation can result in the loss of machine control and the possibility of property damage and/or personal injury.
6)Operate the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER only when/where visibility and light are adequate for the job at hand. Work carefully. Always hold the operator handle firmly with both hands. Wrap your fingers around the handle grips, keeping them cradled between your thumbs and fingers. Always determine the operator handle is in good condition and free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease. Wear gloves to improve your grip. Never leave the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER running unattended.
7)Stop the motor while moving and/or repositioning the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER on the jobsite. Allowing the motor to remain operating substantially increases the potential for property damage and/or personal injury. Special care must be exercised on slippery conditions and on difficult, uneven surfaces. Watch for cracks, high spots and other surface irregularities. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. The normal use of this machine is on level surfaces. Other terrains can be dangerous and should be avoided. Only properly trained operators should attempt these techniques.
8)Because the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is classified as a low cost, low horsepower, portable type machine, it is limited in the number of practical and/or suitable job applications. A particular job site, actual surface conditions, job specifications and operator skill/common sense may dictate that a different type of machine (with characteristics of higher purchase cost, being mounted to a carrier vehicle, with greater horsepower and less mobility), method and/or process be utilized to properly complete the job with the degree of efficiency and safety required. Contact the Customer Service Department for specific information regarding suitable job applications, job site surface conditions and operator experience/skill/common sense recommendations for the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER BEFORE utilization. There is no charge for this service.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND STORAGE.
1)Use only genuine, approved replacement parts and accessories for maintenance and repair. Use of parts and accessories manufactured by others can result in property damage and/or personal injury.
2)Follow the Service instructions as outlined in the appropriate section of this manual.
3)Always stop the motor and disconnect the extension cord BEFORE checking or working on the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER.
4)Always properly maintain the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. Frequently check all fasteners and individual parts. Built in safety features are effective only if they are maintained in good working condition. Replace any questionable part or assembly with a genuine, factory approved, replacement part. Do not forsake proper maintenance for the price of a few replacement parts. Proper maintenance does not cost...it actually pays dividends. Do not attempt any maintenance repair work not described in this manual. Have such work performed at your dealer's service facility.
5)Maintain all safety and operation decals in proper condition. If any decal becomes damaged and/or unreadable, replace with a genuine, factory approved, replacement part only.
6)The FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER may utilize self locking type hexagon head nuts to minimize the effects of vibration. Replace all self locking hardware with genuine, factory approved, replacement parts only.
7)Consult the material supplied by the motor manufacturer for specific information relative to proper operational, lubrication and storage requirements.
