G I V E COMPLETE AND UNDIVIDED
ATTENTION TO THE JOB AT HAND AND
FOLLOW THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
PREPARATION.
1) The Bon Floor Stripper is a specialized type of
powered equipment, designed for a specific job
function and requires adequate and thorough
instruction BEFORE it is operated. The size, power,
complexity and operating characteristics of this type of
powered equipment would dictate that each operator
must receive adequate, professional instruction
regarding the proper operation of the Bon Floor
Stripper before being allowed to utilize it. BEFORE
attempting to utilize the Bon Floor Stripper, read this
Operator’s Manual, and view the applicable Safety
and Operational Information Video Tape to familiarize
each operator with its correct operating procedures.
Avoid the urge not to take the necessary time to read
this Operator’s Manual before operating the BON
FLOOR STRIPPER. DO NOT OPERATE THE BON
FLOOR STRIPPER UNTIL EACH OPERATOR
COMPLETELY COMPREHENDS THE CONTENTS
OF THIS MANUAL, THE APPLICABLE SAFETY AND
OPERATIONAL INFORMATION VIDEO TAPE AND
APPLICABLE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION.
2) Develop a comprehensive program for the safe
operation of the Bon Floor Stripper by its owner(s)
and/or operator(s). Such a program will include, but is
not limited to: instructional requirements for operation,
applicable OSHA requirements, local laws and
regulations, job site safety and a Bon Floor Stripper
maintenance program. Constantly examine and
upgrade this program to guarantee owner(s) and/or
operator(s) safety. Each operator must be fully
instructed regarding the specifics of this safety
program.
3) Determine that the Bon Floor Stripper is in its origi-
nal, factory configuration and has not been modified in
any manner. Many modifications can result in poten-
tially dangerous configurations that can lead to prop-
erty damage and/or personal injury. If there are any
questions about possible modifications made to the
Bon Floor Stripper, contact the Customer Service
Department for specific information BEFORE
utilization. There is no charge for this service.
4) Minors should never be allowed to operate the Bon
Floor Stripper. Bystanders, especially children and
animals, should not be allowed in the area where the
Bon Floor Stripper is in use. The covering removal
process can result in flying particles being emitted at
high velocity and striking the operator and/or
onlookers. This can lead to the possibility of property
damage and/or personal injury. Keep all body parts,
loose clothing, foreign objects and onlookers clear
while equipment is in operation.
5) Operators must be in proper physical condition,
mental health and not under the influence of any
substance (drugs, alcohol, etc.) which might impair
vision, dexterity or judgment. Working with the Bon
Floor Stripper is strenuous. If you have any condition
