Safety Guidelines
Eye and ear protection must be worn at all times when this machine is in use. During normal use,
sound levels exceed 92dB. Use only ANSI approved safety glasses to help prevent eye injury. Every-
day eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
Operator must wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can get
tangled or caught in moving parts. Steel toe safety shoes should be worn.
• Maintain the machine in safe operating condition with all guards in place and secure, all mechanical fasteners
tight, all controls in working order and the machine configured for the job application. Be sure all safety decals
can be clearly read and understood. Replace damaged or missing decals immediately.
• The CPU-10FC Scarifier is designed to plane flat, horizontal concrete or asphalt slabs. Scarifiers maybe equipped
with gasoline, propane or electric motors. They are designed to be operated by a single operator from a position at
the rear of the equipment.
• Keep a safe operating distance to other personnel in the area and never leave the machine running unattended.
• Avoid deck inserts, pipes, columns, openings, electrical outlets, or any objects protruding from slab surface.
• Never operate this machine while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or when taking medications that impair the
senses or reactions, or when excessively tired or under stress.
• Avoid touching or handling accessories after use, they are hot and can cause burns.
For Electric Models:
Electrical motor must be properly grounded at all times. Check the outlet box to be sure the electrical
service is properly grounded. Be sure adequate power is available. Insufficient power will cause motor to overheat and
burn out. Use only grounded extension cords correctly sized for the current draw and voltage drop
(amp rating and length). Never use frayed, damaged, taped or underrated extension cords. Electrical shock could
result in death or serious injury to the operator and damage to the equipment.
For Gasoline Models:
Poisonous exhaust gas. Do not operate gasoline powered equipment without adequate ventilation.
Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless gas that can kill. NEVER REFUEL A HOT ENGINE OR AN ENGINE WHILE
IT IS RUNNING. Only refuel a cool “stopped” engine and in a well-ventilated area. Properly clean any spilled fuel
before starting the engine.
Safety warnings and guidelines do not by themselves eliminate danger.
They are not given as substitutes for proper accident prevention and good judgement.
