HYDRAULIC SAFE OPERATION MAINTAINING A SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT Establishing a safe working environment in and around your hydraulic equipment is just common sense. The easiest and most effective way to avoid problems is to make sure associates understand their equipment, know how to operate it safely and recognize the danger it represents if handled carelessly. A few things you must be aware of include: 1.
HYDRAULIC SAFE OPERATION PRESSURE (continued) 2. Check the threads and/or seat angle for damage that may have occurred prior to or during installation. Any ding or burr may be a potential leak path. Replace if necessary. 3. If the coupling was misaligned during installation, threads may have been damaged. Replace and carefully install.
USE” until repaired. A guard or other damaged parts should be properly repaired or replaced. For all repairs, insist on only identical National replacement parts. 13. REMOVE ALL ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES: Make a habit of checking that the adjusting keys, wrenches, etc.
Remove blade or keep blade lowered to the floor (disarm machine). 26. MAINTAIN LABELS AND NAMEPLATES: These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact National for a free replacement. 27. MACHINE IS HEAVY, DO NOT DROP: Counter weights are heavy. Take caution when removing or reassembling.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS OF A DEFENSIVE OPERATOR • Education • Alert • Skills • Judgment • Common Sense • Recognizes the Hazards • Understands the Defense • Acts Correctly A GOOD OPERATOR IS A “DEFENSIVE” OPERATOR QUALITIES Education: Learns about the machine and the environment. Alert: Stays alert at all times…never lets guard down.
Page 11
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION GROUNDING WARNING: Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the cord or plug is damaged.
Page 12
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION EXTENSION CORDS WARNING: Electrical cords can be hazardous. Misuse can result in fire or death by electrical shock. Read carefully and follow all directions. WARNING: If cords are damaged they must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Disconnect power from unit before servicing or changing blades. Failure to do so can cause electrical shock. • Only use National components. Failure to do so could cause damage or serious injury. • Always be aware of support personnel and their proximity when in operation. Block off work area.

5110 OPERATING CONTROLS POWER BOX (FIGURE A) Note: It is necessary to be seated before starting machine to keep machine running. The two green switches are the starting switches. Press one green switch at a time. This will start the motors individually.
5110 OPERATING CONTROLS CYLINDER LIFT (FIGURE A) The cylinder lift lever raises and lowers the cylinder and cutting head. After setting slide plate to proper height, use the cylinder lift lever to set blade to proper cutting angle. Pull back on the cylinder lift lever to raise the cutting head.
Page 18
5110 OPERATING CONTROLS CAUTION: Do not run over cord. Doing so could cause damage to equipment or severe bodily injury. OPERATING AROUND THE CORD (FIGURE A) The extension cord should be properly fed through the clip on the end of the flip arm cord guide. Loop cord once.
5110 OPERATIONAL TIPS CASTER Keep clean and free of debris, make sure it can move freely. FOOT PEG Keep feet resting and secured on foot pegs when operating machine. SEAT SAFETY SWITCH The seat safety switch is mounted under the center portion of the seat. This switch is designed as an emergency shut off.
HOW TO PLUG IN CORDS WARNING: Electrical cords can be hazardous. Misuse can result in fire and/or death by electrical shock. Read carefully and follow all directions. Never defeat safety features or bypass the electrical control box. Doing so could cause property damage and/or serious injury. SIZE &...
HOW TO PLUG IN CORDS OUTLET TESTING If cords are plugged into the same outlet, start one motor at a time. Never start both motors at the same time. If you can’t run both motors from the same outlet, plug the twin cord into the supplied extension cords and test in two separate circuits.
5110 LOADING/UNLOADING • Always remove blade and cutting head when machine is being moved or transported • Cutting head and slide plate can be removed to make the machine more compact. • NEVER leave machine unattended on an incline. • Removing added weights help to make the machine easier and safer to move in and out of a vehicle. WARNING: Machine has a swivel front caster.
5110 LOADING/UNLOADING FORKLIFT CUPS There are two forklift cups mounted under the front of the machine (See Figure A). Slide fork lift forks through forklift cups. Slide forks all the way back to touch the rear tire (See Figure B). Before lifting machine, secure machine to fork lift with heavy 3000 lb.
Page 24
5110 CENTER OF GRAVITY Be aware of your surroundings and machines operating angels. When changing from a low slide plate to a high slide plate setting or a low cutting head angle to a high cutting head angle, the operating “attitude” of the machine changes.
5110 JOB SITE MOVEMENT • Always remove blade and cutting head when machine is being moved or transported • Cutting head and slide plate can be removed to make the machine more compact. • NEVER leave machine unattended on an incline. •...
5110 JOB SITE MOVEMENT TO MOVE MACHINE WITHOUT POWER (PUSHING MACHINE) Forward: To move the machine forward, levers need to be pushed forward. To lock levers in place, connect a bungee-strap from each lever (pushing levers forward), pulling straps down to and connecting to the front plate (See Figure A).
5110 WHEEL SIZES WHEEL SIZE(FIGURE A) The larger of the wheels is more commonly used. The larger wheel is faster in speed (up to 113 feet per minute). In most cases the larger wheel will work on all job types of application and heavy debris build-up (vct, ceramic etc.).
5110 ADDING ADDITIONAL WEIGHT FRONT WEIGHT Adding weight to the front of the machine is necessary for difficult to remove goods such as, VCT, VAT, ceramic, thin-set or wood. Machine includes nine 37 lb. front weights with handles. Set front weights in front weight compartment (See Figure A).
5110 CUTTING HEAD & BLADES DIALING IN THE MACHINE Dialing in the machine is matching the correct cutting head, blade size, blade angle and added weight to the machine to make the material removal as easy as possible. For every material being removed, there is an optimum blade width, thickness, sharpness, angle and bevel (bevel up or bevel down).
5110 CUTTING HEAD & BLADES WEIGHT VS. SHARPNESS The most common way to compensate for a dull blade is to add more weight and raise the blade angle (see re-scrape setting). Weight allows dull blades to be used to a point. Weight also causes blades to dull and break easier.
Page 31
5110 CUTTING HEAD & BLADES CUTTING HEAD INSERTION Insert desired cutting head into cutting head holder. Secure with cutting head clip. SHANK BLADE INSERTION Shank blades do not require a cutting head. Insert desired shank blade into cutting head holder. Secure with cutting head clip.
Page 32
5110 BLADE APPLICATION/SET-UP CERAMIC SET-UP Slide plate should be set low, 1/2" to 2" off the floor. Use a Shank Blade or a Shank Blade with a carbide tip. WOOD SET-UP Slide plate should be set low, 1/2" to 2" off the floor. Use Shank Blades, Shank Blades with carbide tips or a 6"or 8"...
Page 33
5110 BLADE APPLICATION/SET-UP THIN COATING SET-UP Slide plate should be set high, 3'' to 6'' off the floor. Use a Cutting Head from 8" to 14" with Razor Blades to match cutting head size. WORKING OVER CONCRETE Blade should be bevel up when working over concrete. Pretty much anything over concrete works. Try different set-ups to see which works best.
Page 34
5110 BLADE APPLICATION/SET-UP DITCHING CROSS ROOM DITCHING When removing hard to remove ceramic, Vct or vat, cross-room ditching will help to make the removal easier. Using a blade 2" to 6" in width, make ditches 1' to 2' apart in the same direction the machine will be removing the goods (See Figure A).
Page 35
5110 BLADES TYPES OF BLADES PREMIUM HIGH TEMPERED BLADES Works on all glued down carpets, VCT, VAT, rubber tile, cork, re-scraping adhesive, elastomeric coatings. Great for floor accumulations. Ultra high quality spring steel is extra hard for long blade life between sharpening.
Page 36
5110 BLADES BLADE SHARPENING Dull blades greatly reduce cutting ability. Re-sharpen or replace as needed. In use, blades develop a back-bevel (See Figure A). When re-sharpening, blade will not be truly sharp until all back-bevel is gone. Note: Thinner blades are easier to sharpen, but they also break easier. •...
