1.5 Safety – Considerations Under Normal Operation (cont’d)
AVOID DANGEROUS SITUATIONS
• Survey the work area before starting the machine for hidden
obstructions and uneven cracks or joints.
• Do not expose the machine to rain.
• Do not use the machine in standing water conditions.
• Keep work area well lit.
• Do not allow the machine to cross over the edge of the
concrete slab or work surface.
• When working on uneven surfaces, pay attention not to cross
over embedded floor anchors, ledges, or heaved slab joints as
this may lead to machine damage, personal injury, or both.
Check the system thoroughly after each transport and at least once a
day for external damage and defects. As defects or problems are
found qualified personnel MUST correct them immediately.
In the event of an emergency, the operator should execute an
Emergency Stop! A Lock Out/Tag Out or “Maintenance Mode” is
necessary in the event of an emergency!
How to Execute an Emergency Stop:
9 Operate the Emergency Stop Pushbutton located on the control panel of
the scarifier by pressing down on the e-stop button. This will remove all
power from the machine.
9 Operate the mechanical lift knob on the scarifier. This will remove the
scarifier drum from the work surface.
9 Switch the dust collector to the off position.
9 Wait until all drives come to a complete stop!
9 Disconnect the main power plugs or lock out the main disconnect switches
of both machines to ensure that no power is being fed to the scarifier or
the dust collector.
