PRECAUTIONS:
PREPARATION.
1) The FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is a
specialized type of powered equipment, designed for a
specific job function and requires adequate and
thorough instruction BEFORE it is operated. The size,
power, complexity and operating characteristics of this
type of powered equipment would dictate that each
operator must receive adequate, professional
instruction regarding the proper operation of the
FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER before being allowed
to utilize it. BEFORE attempting to utilize the FLOOR
COVERING SCRAPER, read this Operator's Manual,
and view the applicable
Safety and Operational Information Video Tape to
familiarize each operator with its correct operating
procedures. Avoid the urge not to take the necessa
ry
time to read this Operator's Manual before operating
the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. DO NOT
OPERATE THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER
UNTIL EACH OPERATOR COMPLETELY
COMPREHENDS THE CONTENTS OF THIS
MANUAL, THE APPLICABLE SAFETY AND
OPERATIONAL INFORMATION VIDEO TAPE AND
APPLICABLE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION.
2) Develop a comprehensive program for the safe
operation of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER by its
owner(s) and/or operator(s). Such a program will
include, but is not limited to: instructional requirements
for operation, applicable OSHA requirements, local
laws and regulations, job site safety and a FLOOR
COVERING SCRAPER maintenance program.
Constantly examine and upgrade this program to
guarantee owner(s) and/or operator(s) safety. Each
operator must be fully instructed regarding the
specifics of this safety program.
3) Determine that the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER
is in its original, factory configuration and has not been
modified in any manner. Many modifications can result
in potentially dangerous configurations that can lead to
property damage and/or personal injury. If there are
any questions about possible modifications made to
the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER, contact the
Customer Service Department for specific information
BEFORE utilization. There is no charge for this
service.
4) Minors should never be allowed to operate the
FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. Bystanders,
especially children and animals, should not be allowed
in the area where the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER
is in use. The covering removal process can result in
flying p
articles 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, foreign
objects and onlookers clear of the rotating auger
and/or auger extensions.
5) Operators must be in proper physical condition,
mental health and not under the influence of any
substance (drugs, alcohol, etc.) which might impair
vision, dexterity or judgment. Working with the FLOOR
COVERING SCRAPER is strenuous. If you have any
condition that might be aggravated by strenuous work,
check with your doctor BEFORE operating the FLOOR
COVERING SCRAPER. Guard against the possibility
