IMPORTANT
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
1 Product information
These machines will cut through dirt on some of the
very hardest to clean surfaces. They are perfect for
tackling jobs like impacted grease on old flooring
surfaces or adhesive residues, or even ice build-up in
cold store floors. These machines are ideal for
scarifying concrete industrial floors.
Machines incorporate triple head contra-rotating
planetary technology, producing a stable machine
with no pulling action thereby reducing operator
fatigue. It also maintains an even pressure,
minimising the risk of cutting or scoring the floor. The
incorporation of modern manufacturing processes
ensures years of trouble free service.
The following instructions contain important
information about the machines and safety advice for
the operator.
Equipment must be operated, serviced and
maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
If in doubt contact the supplier of your machine.
1.1 Important Safety Advice
When using electrical equipment basic safety
precautions should be followed including the
following.
• Read all instructions carefully before use.
• Keep children and unauthorised persons away from
the machine when in use.
• Do not leave the machine connected to the
electricity supply when not in use, always remove
the plug from the socket-outlet.
• Switch off the machine before removing the plug.
• When unplugging pull the plug, not the supply cord.
• Do not allow the rotating heads to come into
contact with the supply cord.
• Do not operate the machine with a damaged
supply cord or plug, or after the machine
malfunctions or is damaged in any way. Contact an
authorised Service Agent for repair or adjustment.
• The plug of the power supply cord must be
removed from the socket-outlet before
commencing cleaning of the machine or
undertaking maintenance operations.
• The power supply cord is to be regularly inspected
for signs of damage. If damage is found, replace
the cord before further use.
• Only replace the cord with the type specified in the
instructions.
• Do not use where hazardous dust is present.
• Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.
• Take care when using a machine near the top of
stairs to avoid overbalancing.
1.2 Guidelines for the operator
• Operators must be fully trained in the use of the
machine in accordance with these instructions, able
to perform user maintenance and the correct
selection of accessories, i.e. scarifying brushes.
• Operators should be physically capable to
manoeuvre, transport and operate the machines.
• Operators should be able to recognise unusual
operation of the machine and report any problems.
• Keep hands and feet well clear of rotating heads.
• Wear suitable footwear to avoid slipping.
• Wear suitable clothing to keep dry and warm.
• Where possible implement job rotation and
adequate rest periods to avoid continuous use
of the same muscles.
• Do not smoke when using the machine.
• CAUTION - This machine is for dry use only and
should not be used or stored outdoors in wet
conditions.
1.3 Transporting the machine
CAUTION - THIS MACHINE IS HEAVY
Do not attempt to lift the machine without
mechanical assistance. Incorrect lifting techniques
may result in personal injury. We recommend the
machine is lifted by two people.
CAUTION - When lifting the machine the brush head
is free to tip backwards, ensure fingers are kept well
clear of the side arms of the chassis.
When moving the machine to and from the working
area the handle should be locked and the machine
tilted back on its wheels.
2 Preparing for use
2.1 Electrical connection
Before connecting the machine to the power supply,
check that your supply voltage corresponds with that
marked on the rating label on the handle of the
machine.
UK only
The supply cord is fitted with a non rewireable plug
containing a 13 amp fuse. Should the fuse require
replacement it must only be replaced by a 13 amp
fuse conforming to BS1362, and the fuse cover must
be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost the plug must not
be used until the correct replacement cover is fitted.
IMPORTANT - If the supply cord is damaged, it must
only be replaced by a special cord available from the
manufacturer or an authorised service agent.
WARNING -THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
