1) The Bon Floor Stripper utilizes an offset weight
design (termed the exciter) that moves the blade or
ceramic tile ripper attachment with a random orbit
oscillation. This design configuration substantially
enhances machine control and reduces fatigue as
long as the blade or ceramic tile ripper attachment
does not come in direct contact with a protruding
obstruction from the floor. Direct contact with such an
obstruction can result in rapid and jerky directional
movement of the machine. This occurrence can lead
to loss of machine control, property damage and/or
personal injury. In most operating situations, direct
contact with a protruding obstruction from the work
surface will, at a minimum, result in damage to the
blade and/or ceramic tile ripper attachment.

OPERATING THE Bon Floor Stripper IN THE
VICINITY OF ANCHOR BOLTS, PIPES,
