FCS10GEN2 RIP-R-STRIPPER ® FLOOR COVERING STRIPPER
FORM GOM03042001US, VERSION 1.2
English-EN 6
OPERATIONAL HAZARDS
1. RIP-R-STRIPPER is designed to substantially enhance machine control
and reduce operator fatigue provided accessory tool does not directly
contact larger, protruding obstructions (anchor bolts, pipes, nail heads,
columns, openings, large cracks, utility outlets, material variances, etc., or
any objects protruding from work surface). Such contact can result in
rapid and jerky movement of machine and/or loss of machine control.
2. The floor covering material removal process can produce sparks, dusts
and other foreign particle contamination that can result in fire and/or
explosion depending on existing jobsite conditions.
3. Many covering materials, adhesives or mastics can contain asbestos and
other chemicals that are known to cause physical harm and/or affect the
environment.
4. Excessive water, and/or other conductive materials on work surface can
result in electrocution of operator and/or other personnel.
Preventive Measures:
•
Operator must maintain physical and mental alertness. Be prepared for
unexpected blade contact with protruding anchor bolts, etc. and be
capable to sense level of machine control they have.
•
DO NOT operate RIP-R-STRIPPER on jobsite where kickback forces can
allow body parts to come in direct contact with vertical wall, foundation or
other support type structures. Maintain a safe and reasonable distance
from these structures.
• Maintain proper operating stance for better control of machine plus,
reducing operator error and fatigue. Refer to PROPER OPERATOR
STANCE in OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual for
more information.
• Remove water and/or conductive materials by industry-approved and/or
accepted practice BEFORE removing floor covering. Determine RIP-R-
STRIPPER is properly grounded and extension cords are free of cuts,
abrasions and/or exposed cable strands.
• Dust and other particle contamination can be controlled by use of
appropriate industrial-type dust collection system to remove/control dust
and other particle contamination from work surface.
CAUTION
• Exercise extreme caution when operating RIP-R-STRIPPER
in vicinity of anchor bolts, pipes, columns, openings, large
cracks, utility outlets or any object protruding from work
surface.
• Contact with such objects can lead to loss of machine control,
resulting in property damage and/or personal injury.
WARNING
• Exercise extreme caution when operating RIP-R-
STRIPPER on above ground level floors to prevent loss of
control allowing machine and/or operator to fall down to
lower levels.
•
When moving backwards during floor covering removal
process, be aware of potential drop-offs and obstructions
on job site.
WARNING
• Sparks produced by action of accessory cutting blade
against work surface (e.g.- striking anchor bolts) can
result in fire and/or explosion depending on existing
environmental conditions.
•
This occurrence can result in property damage and/or
personal injury.
WARNING
• Creation of dust and other foreign particle contamination
from floor covering removal process can result in
property damage and/or personal injury.
•
For such operating conditions, always wear NIOSH/MSHA
approved dust/mist respirator and appropriate safety
related apparel.
•
Consult applicable OSHA regulations for specific
information.
WARNING
•
Always use dust collection system that meets specific job
site requirements.
•
Dust materials can meet Class II and Class III National
Electric Code specifications for hazardous materials.
•
Consideration must be given to creation of hazardous
materials requiring specific disposal procedures.
• Determine dust collection system is properly designed to
operate within these atmospheres.
• Consult current National Electric Code, OSHA and EPA
regulations for specific information.
WARNING
• Water and other conductive materials on work surface
increases electrocution hazard potential for operator and
other personnel.
• Determine RIP-R-STRIPPER is properly grounded (no
faults), power cords are free of cuts, abrasions and/or
exposed cable strands.
• Improper grounding and use of damaged power cords
and/or GFI can result in property damage and/or personal
injury.
•
DO NOT expose RIP-R-STRIPPER to rain or wet operating
conditions.
•
Water entering machine can increase risk of electric
shock.
WARNING
• Always utilize water mist spray system to operate within
specific job site requirement.
• Dust materials can meet Class II or Class III National
Electric Code specifications for hazardous materials.
•
Consideration must be given to creation of hazardous
materials requiring specific disposal procedures.
• Determine water mist spray system is properly designed
to operate within these atmospheres.
• Consult current National Electric Code, OSHA and EPA
regulations for specific information.
WARNING
• DO NOT operate RIP-R-STRIPPER on jobsite location
where forces generated during floor covering removal
process can allow body parts to come in direct contact
with vertical wall, foundation or other support type
structures in close proximity.
• Such occurrence can result in property damage and/or
personal injury. Always maintain a safe and reasonable
distance from these type structures.
