BULL FLOOR STRIPPER
OWNER'S MANUAL
The BULL floor strippers are constructed according to existing safety rules and
regulations. These technical precautions should not be removed or changed under any
circumstances. While operating the machines the following points should also be kept in mind:
The instructions provided in this manual are done so to ensure the operator's safety as well
as that of others, the equipment, and the job site. Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to
serious personal injury and even death. The operator and any service personnel should read
and understand the entire manual before working with or servicing any Contec Floor Stripper.
• The floor stripper BULL should always be operated with all safety covers and technical
precautions.
• During transport, cleaning, repair or maintenance the floor stripper must be disconnected
from the power supply. This also applies to the changing of tools.
• Always remove the tool before transporting the machine.
• Only use tools delivered by CONTEC
• The operator should never leave the machine unattended during operation.
• Before leaving the machine, all rotary parts should be brought to a standstill. The floor
stripper must be disconnected from the power supply. Make sure that the machine
cannot roll or move by itself.
• The BULL should be switched off immediately if unusual noises or vibrations are
detected during the operating of the machinery. A thorough check must be carried out in
order to detect the cause.
• After any maintenance and adjustment all safety covers must be reattached.
• Ear protectors must be worn.
• Eye protectors must be worn.
• Safety shoes with steel caps must be worn.
• In the event of a large amount of dust during operation, connect a dust collector to the
grinder.
• Depending on the type of floor (floor coating) stripping can produce gases/dust. The
operator must be held responsible if these generated gases/dusts are dangerous and if
protection is necessary. Stripping floors containing asbestos is especially dangerous and
can cause health problems. Special masks must be worn which keep the breathing air
clean. A dust collector must be used and should be equipped with filters suitable for
asbestos dust.
The floor must be swept before stripping. Anchor screws and bolts coming out of the floor can
be better seen if the floor is clean. If the stripping tool strikes an anchor screw or bolt, then
serious damage can be caused to the machine or grinding head.
