6280 HYDRAULIC SAFE OPERATION 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.
6280 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. 11. REMOVE ALL ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES: Make a habit of checking that the adjusting keys, wrenches, etc.

Use approved NIOSH or OSHA respirators, safety glasses or face shields, gloves and protective clothing. Provide adequate ventilation to eliminate dust, or to maintain dust level below the Threshold Limit Value for nuisance dust as classified by OSHA.
6280 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.
6280 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. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord.
6280 TRANSPORTATION TRANSPORT WHEEL ASSEMBLY • Transport wheels help to eliminate damage to flooring and make movement of unit easier. ATTACHING TRANSPORT WHEELS #6280-301 Front • Remove two outside blade cover bolts (See Figure A). Transport Wheel WARNING: Make sure machine is stable and secure on blocks.
Page 11
6280 TRANSPORTATION Wheels engage and disengage for easier maneuverability. Wheels in the “engage mode” are secured with the axle pins (See Figure A). This engages the wheels for the machine to be self-propelled. When wheels are in the “disengage mode” (See Figure B). Machine can be moved around freely when the machine IS NOT under power.
6280 TRANSPORTATION WARNING: When maneuvering machine on any type of a incline (ramp, hill, etc.), wheel engage pins MUST be in place (in engaged mode) (See Figure B) and counterweights removed. LOADING ALWAYS REMOVE ALL COUNTERWEIGHTS AND BLADES BEFORE LOADING OR UNLOADING. LIFTING BAIL •...
6280 TRANSPORTATION UNLOADING • Position machine at the back of the truck in line with the ramp (See Figure B). • Carefully move machine onto ramp leaving cutting head down (in contact with ramp surface). WARNING: Ramp must have good contact with the back of the vehicle. Failure to do so could cause ramp to lose contact with back of vehicle resulting in damage to the machine or injury to the operator.

Speed: 10 - 45 feet per minute MOTOR INFORMATION RPM: 3450 Volts: 1½ Amps-Full Load: Continuous Duty A well -maintained machine is a productive machine. If not properly maintained, it could be unsafe and could break down.
6280 GENERAL OPERATION MAINTENANCE 1. Always wear eye protection. 2. Keep flammable and fragile objects away from this tool. 3. Always check nuts and bolts to make sure they are tight. 4. Always use the tool with proper voltage specified in the machine’s name plate. 5.
6280 BLADES BLADE SETTING • Dull blades greatly reduce cutting ability. Re-sharpen or replace as needed. • Proper blade size and placement, depending on material and sub-floor type, affects performance. • The harder a job comes up, for best results, use a smaller blade. •...
6280 BLADES BLADE SETTING (continued) • Self scoring blades are available in a number of sizes. These blades eliminate the need for pre-scoring material. Depending upon the type of material being removed and the sharpness of the blade and scoring wings, the self scoring blades may make it harder to control the machine. •...
6280 BLADES BLADE SHARPENING • Always wear gloves and safety glasses. • Using hand grinder, block up front of machine so blade is off the floor. • Grind blade using a 4" diameter disk with 120 or finer grit. Be careful not to catch disk on edge or corner of blade.

Page 22
6280 TYPES OF TEAR-OUT TYPES OF TEAROUTS (continued) SUBFLOOR SURFACES • WOOD: When working over plywood sub-flooring, try to run machine in the same direction as the grain in the wood. Blade in most cases bevel down. On solid wood floors like plank, run in the same direction as the plank, not cross grain or cross plank.
6280 PROCEDURES COUNTER WEIGHTS • It is not necessary to have counterweights on to use machine. Use only as needed (See Figure A). • Use 9/16" blade wrench (supplied). Each counterweight is attached with two 3/8" bolts. Remove bolts and counterweights.
6280 PROCEDURES HYDRAULIC FLUID LEVEL • Machine is run at a low temperature and pressure. • Check fluid level if there has been a leak, damaged or ruptured hose or a loose fitting. Fluid • Fluid level should be higher than the Return Line. See Level Sight Figure A.
6280 PROCEDURES INSPECTION OF INTERNAL PARTS Visual inspection of internal parts can be done without draining tank. • Remove two lifting bail eyebolts and the two bolts from the back of the tank. • Carefully lift tank 3'' to 4''. •...
• Reconnect solenoid wires. POWER CORD • If power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by National or its service agent, or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. ON/OFF SWITCH WIRE DIAGRAM • 2 power wires go to copper spades •...
6280 TROUBLESHOOTING IF THERE IS NO FORWARD OR REVERSE: 1. Check speed control valve. Turn counterclockwise to open valve. 2. Check wheel pins. Make sure they are in the wheels. 3. Check belt. Remove front cover plate (#6280-145) and inspect. IF MOTOR SHUTS OFF OR WILL NOT START: 1.
