7) Determine that the power source receptacle to be
utilized is properly grounded. This can be
accomplished with proper testing equipment and
procedures. If there are any questions regarding the
suitability of a specific power receptacle, contact your
dealer or our Customer Service Department for
assistance BEFORE utilizing the Bon Floor Stripper.
There is no charge for this service. A qualified
electrician may need to be consulted.
8) If additional extension cord length is required for a
specific job application, an additional extension cord
can be utilized in conjunction with an external GFI.
Plug the receptacle of the additional extension cord
into the factory supplied GFI. Plug the ground fault
circuit
interrupter into a seperate power source receptacle.
Connect the extension cord plug into the external GFI.
This configuration will allow any fault over the length
of a defective extension cord to be indicated.
Extension cord gauge size and length must conform
to National Electric Code standards.
FOR MAXIMUM PROTECTION AGAINST A
FAULT, ALWAYS CONFIGURE A GROUND
FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER TO BE
PLUGGED INTO THE POWER SOURCE
RECEPTACLE. A CONFIGURATION WITH
T H E G R O U N D F A U L T C I R C U I T
INTERRUPTER PLACED BETWEEN THE

supplied extension cord and the NEMA L5-15P plug
located on the Bon Floor Stripper together. Twist to
lock. FIGURE 22. Connect the GFI to the power
source receptacle. Determine that the reset switch is
in its proper position to activate the GFI.
10) Grasp the operator handle with firm gripping.
When starting the electric motor, apply a down force
directly to the operator handle to help reduce the
amount of static machine weight against the work sur-
face. The blade or ceramic tile ripper attachment
should remain in contact with the surface. Turn the
ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Reduce the
amount of applied down force on the operator handle
as the electric motor attains its operational speed.
