OPERATION

1)Give complete and undivided attention to the job at hand. Do not chew gum, smoke and/or use smokeless tobacco while utilizing the SURFACE GRINDER. Do not attempt to eat and/or drink while utilizing the SURFACE GRINDER. Determine that eyeglasses and/ or hearing aid devices are properly secured.

Use of the SURFACE GRINDER is strenuous and causes fatigue. Help prevent the cause of an accident. Plan to take work breaks as required to help maintain proper mental and physical alertness.

2)This SURFACE GRINDER is not sealed or insulated. Do not operate the SURFACE GRINDER in an explosive

atmosphere or near combustible materials. Refer to current OSHA® rules and regulations.

3)The SURFACE GRINDER is designed for use by one operator. Use of the SURFACE GRINDER by more than one operator can lead to confusion and loss of control, resulting in property damage and/or personal injury. If it is felt that more than one person is required to operate the SURFACE GRINDER, STOP and contact the Customer Service Department for specific operational and service/maintenance information.There is no charge for this service.

4)Do not operate the SURFACE GRINDER with onlookers close by. Caution all onlookers to stand clear. The grinding process can result in flying particles being emitted at high velocity and striking the operator and/ or onlookers.This can lead to the possibility of property damage and/or personal injury. Keep all body parts, loose clothing and foreign objects clear of the rotating drum and flails.

5)Start the electric motor according to the instructions as outlined in this manual to minimize the possibility of unexpected contact with the work surface. Unexpected contact with the work surface can cause the loss of machine control and the possibility of property damage and/or personal injury.

6)Start and operate the SURFACE GRINDER only in a well ventilated area. Operate the SURFACE GRINDER 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, keeping it cradled between your thumbs

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

and fingers. Always make sure the operator handle is in good condition and free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease. Wear gloves to improve your grip. Never leave the SURFACE GRINDER running unattended.

7)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)Never start the electric motor with the SURFACE GRINDER directly over cracked, uneven or irregular surfaces.

9)Clean and remove all accumulated foreign matter from inside the mainframe area after each use.This practice will maximize bearing and V-belt service life.

10)Because this SURFACE GRINDER is classified as a low cost, hand held, 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 sites surface conditions and operator experience/skill/common sense recommendations for this SURFACE GRINDER BEFORE utilization.There is no charge for this service.
