ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING, INCLUDING
EXTENSION CORD GAUGE SIZE AND/OR
LENGTH, MUST BE INSTALLED AND/OR
APPROVED IN ACCORDANCE TO LOCAL
ELECTRICAL CODES AND PRACTICES. AN
IMPROPER WIRING INSTALLATION CAN
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
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 RIP-R-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 cir-
c u i t
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 RIP-
R-STRIPPER AND THE POWER SOURCE
RECEPTACLE WILL NOT AFFORD MAXIMUM
P R O T E C T I O N A G A I N S T A P O T E N T I A L
FAULT.
9) Couple the NEMA L5-15R receptacle of the factory
supplied extension cord and the NEMA L5-15P plug
located on the RIP-R-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 surface. 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.

11) The RIP-R-STRIPPER is not equipped with a
centrifugal clutch assembly. The electric motor is
directly coupled to the exciter plate. The exciter plate
will begin to move when the electric motor starts.
AS SOON AS THE ELECTRIC MOTOR HAS
STARTED, THE OPERATOR MUST BE IN A
POSITION TO ASSUME DIRECT AND FULL
C O N T R O L O F T H E R I P - R - S T R I P P E R .
FAILURE TO ASSUME DIRECT AND FULL
CONTROL CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
12) The RIP-R-STRIPPER is stopped by moving the
ON/OFF switch located on the operator handle to the
OFF position. For safety considerations, it is also
recommended that the extension cord be
disconnected from both the RIP-R-STRIPPER and
power source receptacle whenever the RIP-R-
STRIPPER is not in use on the job site.
