SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SFCS-16 OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL REV #3 (02/23/06) PAGE 10
personal injury. Keep all body parts, loose clothing and
foreign objects clear of the oscillating blade/accessory
5) Start the motor according to the instructions as
outlined in this manual to minimize the possibility of
unexpected blade/accessory oscillation. Unexpected
blade/accessory oscillation can result in the loss of
machine control and the possibility of property damage
and/or personal injury.
6) Operate the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER 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 grips, keeping them cradled
between your thumbs and fingers. Always determine
the operator handle is in good condition and free of
moisture, pitch, oil or grease. Wear gloves to improve
your grip. Never leave the FLOOR COVERING
SCRAPER running unattended.
7) Stop the motor while moving and/or repositioning
the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER on the jobsite.
Allowing the motor to remain operating substantially
increases the potential for property damage and/or
personal injury. 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) Because the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is
classified as a low cost, 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 site surface
conditions and operator experience/skill/common
sense recommendations for the FLOOR COVERING
SCRAPER BEFORE utilization. There is no charge for
this service.
MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND STORAGE.
1) Use only genuine, approved replacement parts and
accessories for maintenance and repair. Use of parts
and accessories manufactured by others can result in
property damage and/or personal injury.
2) Follow the Service instructions as outlined in the
appropriate section of this manual.
3) Always stop the motor and disconnect the extension
cord BEFORE checking or working on the FLOOR
COVERING SCRAPER.
4) Always properly maintain the FLOOR COVERING
SCRAPER. Frequently check all fasteners and
individual parts. Built in safety features are effective
only if they are maintained in good working condition.
Replace any questionable part or assembly with a
genuine, factory approved, replacement part. Do not
forsake proper maintenance for the price of a few
replacement parts. Proper maintenance does not
cost...it actually pays dividends. Do not attempt any
maintenance repair work not described in this manual.
Have such work performed at your dealer's service
facility.
5) Maintain all safety and operation decals in proper
condition. If any decal becomes damaged and/or
unreadable, replace with a genuine, factory approved,
replacement part only.
6) The FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER may utilize self
locking type hexagon head nuts to minimize the
effects of vibration. Replace all self locking hardware
with genuine, factory approved, replacement parts
only.
7) Consult the material supplied by the motor
manufacturer for specific information relative to proper
operational, lubrication and storage requirements.
