2.7 Machine Operation
Ensure the lift adjustment lever (13) has been slackened off and that the machine has been raised to it’s
highest position.
Start the engine or motor and reduce the height until the cutters make contact with the surface, tighten
the lift lever (13). It is essential that the cutters are not lowered too far and too hard onto the surface as
damage could be caused to the machine and cutter drum assembly. Allow the cutters to “float” on the
cutter shafts without heavy downward pressure.
This floating action will allow the cutters to perform as intended.
Complete a small area observing the performance; reduce the throttle to tick over and on both electric
motor and engine powered machines, release the Deadmans handle, inspect the finish produced.
See Cutter types & Applications for advice on cutter configurations.
Remember two light passes are quicker and more cost effective that one slow heavy pass. Tests have
proved conclusively that heavy downward pressure reduces cutter and drum life by over 50%.
Nuisance dust should be removed by connecting an industrial vacuum cleaner (3000watts) to the 50mm
port on the top right hand side of the machine.
Alternatively on engine-powered machines, it is acceptable to spray water on the surface being worked
or introduced via the vacuum port. The Cutter Drum assembly life is increased by around 10% when
operating the machine in this method.
Do not use the above method when using electric machines due to the inherent danger of the
trailing cable becoming immersed in water.
NOTE: Electrical motors and switches are not totally waterproof; but are protected to IP44; take
special care to protect them from water to ensure safety
.
The Ferox 200 is normally used in a forward motion; the rotation of the drum also helps with the natural
drive produced during it operation. The operator can vary the speed of travel to determine the final
finish having already set the depth control.
It is permissible to operate the machine with a backward and forwards action, each pass should be
overlapped to produce a uniform finish.
In emergency, when the cutter drum must be lifted quickly from the work surface, it is not necessary to
release the adjustment lever, simply pull backwards and downwards on the handlebar to lift the front
wheels and Cutter Drum off the floor, releasing the Deadmans handle at the same time.
