1) Position the Floor Planer on a flat and level surface
of firm foundation.
2) Rotate the height adjustment lever
counterclockwise to raise the Floor Planer to its
maximum position above the work surface. This will
insure proper clearance between the loaded drum and
the work surface.
DANGER
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE
WITHOUT FIRST DETERMINING THAT THE
LOADED DRUM IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH THE
WORK SURFACE. IF THE ROTATING FLAILS
COME IN CONTACT WITH THE WORK SURFACE
BEFORE THE OPERATOR HAS ASSUMED FULL
CONTROL, THE ACTION HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
PULL THE FLOOR PLANER AWAY. A RUNAWAY
FLOOR PLANER CAN CAUSE PROPERTY
DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
3) Refer to the material supplied by the engine
manufacturer for the correct starting, operation and
stopping procedures.
4) Allow the engine to properly "warm up" and operate
without the requirement for choking. Check for
excessive machine noise and/or vibration.
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.
5) Stop the engine in accordance with the instructions
as described in the material supplied by the engine
manufacturer.

component/accessory does not appear to be
functioning properly, STOP and do not further
operate the Floor Planer until the proper corrective
action has been completed. If there are any
questions regarding the proper operation of the
