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 dam-
age and/or personal injury.
6) Operate the Bon Floor Stripper 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 Bon Floor Stripper running unattended.
7) Stop the motor while moving and/or repositioning
the Bon Floor Stripper on the job site. 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 ter-
rains can be dangerous and should be avoided. Only
properly trained operators should attempt these tech-
niques.
8) Because the Bon Floor Stripper 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 Bon Floor Stripper
BEFORE utilization. There is no charge for this ser-
vice.
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
Bon Floor Stripper.
4) Always properly maintain the Bon Floor Stripper.
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 Bon Floor Stripper may utilize self locking type
hexagon head nuts to minimize the effects of
vibration. Replace all self locking hardware with gen-
uine, 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.
