Operating Instructions
Starting the Cut:
•
Crank Depth Control up.
•
Slowly lower the cutter head to the slab surface with the cutter head lever. (Figure 2, Item 1)
•
Lift the knob of the Depth Control to unlock and turn the hand wheel slowly until the cutter head contacts the slab
(you will hear the sound of the cutter wheels contacting the slab). Continue adjusting the depth of cut until the
desired depth is reached; max depth of cut 3/8” (9.5 mm).
•
Use an Industrial Vacuum Dust Control System for dry planing operations.
Forward/Reverse Ground Speed Control:
•
The drive control lever (Figure 2, Item 8) provides variable ground speed in both forward or reverse directions.
The lever is spring loaded and returns to neutral when released. Ground speed is increased by moving the lever
forward away from the neutral position. Depth of cut and hardness of material will determine the most efficient cutting
speed. Deep cutting requires slower forward speeds, allow engine to run at full RPM during the cutting operation.
To Stop Cutting:
•
Move drive control lever to neutral, raise cutter head assembly above slab surface.
•
For gasoline models, close throttle and turn the ignition switch to the “off” position.
•
For electric models, depress the “OFF” button.
After Cutting:
•
At the end of the day, clean the entire machine after it has cooled. Check for worn or damaged cutters and per-
form any required maintenance. See Maintenance Schedule and Instructions on page 13.
Transporting:
•
Before hoisting, always inspect frame and attachment hardware for damage. Use proper and
safe hoisting techniques and approved hardware. CPU-10FC weight is approximately
530 lbs (240 kg).
Never hoist a machine over top of where people are working or standing. Never hoist a machine while the engine is
running. Serious person injury or damage to the equipment can result.
