These safety alert symbols identify important safety messages in this manual. When you see these symbols, be
alert to the possibility of personal injury and carefully read the message that follows.
Do not allow anyone to operate the Bon Floor Stripper without first reading this Operator Manual and becoming
familiar with its operation. The manufacturer of the Bon Floor Stripper has gone to great extremes to provide the
owner(s) and/or operator(s) with the finest equipment available for its intended job function of removing covering
materials from concrete and wood floor surfaces. Yet, the possibility exists that the Bon Floor Stripper can be
utilized in and/or subjected to job applications not perceived and/or anticipated by the manufacturer. Such mis-
use and/or misapplication of the Bon Floor Stripper can lead to the possibility of serious damage, injury or even
death. It is the responsibility of the owner(s) and/or operator(s) to determine that the Bon Floor Stripper is being
utilized and/or operated within the scope of its intended job function. It is the responsibility of the owner(s) and/or

responsibility of the owner(s) and/or operator(s) to make this Operator Manual available for consultation during
all phases of operation. Refer to OSHA 2207 and/or applicable updated revisions which contains all OSHA job
safety and health rules and regulations (1926 and 1910) covering construction.
