Before Starting the Machine:
• Perform a visual inspection of the entire machine and all daily maintenance according to the Maintenance
Schedule on page 19.
• Locate and be familiar with all engine/motor and operating controls .
• For Gasoline models, obtain the Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual. Read it and understand it before con-
tinuing. Follow the engine manual for break-in instructions.
• Use the correct cutters for the job. Be sure cutter drum is balanced, the number, size and type of cutter wheels
are correct and the cutter drum shaft is locked and secured.
• Be sure all fasteners are tight and secure, check for signs of metal cracking or fatigue, inspect for damage to
electrical wiring, damage to fuel lines, check bearings, etc.
• Be sure all guards are in place. Do not operate unless cutter drum guard is in place and secure.
• Inspect work area to determine the presence and location of deck inserts, pipes, columns and objects protruding
from the slab surface so that they may be avoided during operation.
Starting the Engine/Motor:
For Electric Models:
• Be sure the “ON/OFF” rotary cam switch is in “OFF” position.
• Hook up the correct voltage/phase electrical power source by plugging into the connector provided.
If the cord does not mate with the connector, consult a qualied licensed electrician before continuing.
• Verify that the electrical current being supplied is the proper voltage and phase required to run the equipment.
• Check motor rotation. Cutter drum rotation on the model CPM machines is “down cut.” DO NOT use if drum
rotation is incorrect - have a qualied electrician make the necessary change in the main control panel or motor
connection box.
For Gasoline Models:
• Consult the Engine Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual and follow the directions
for starting the engine and allow the engine to warm up.
Lanyard Kill Switch (CPM-10 Only):
• The CPM-10 comes equipped with a lanyard kill switch. The operator should attach
the snap hook around his wrist or to his belt. If control of the machine is lost the hook
will pull free and release from the stop switch, immediately stopping the machine.
DO NOT operate gasoline/propane
powered equipment without adequate
ventilation. Carbon monoxide is an
invisible, oderless gas that can kill.
