GASOLINE/PROPANE POWERED EQUIPMENT

• Engine exhaust from this product contains

chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc­tive harm.

• Gasoline is extremely fl ammable and poisonous.
It should only be dispensed in well ventilated areas,
and with a cool engine.

• Small gasoline engines produce high concentra-

tions of carbon monoxide (CO) example: a 5 HP 4 cycle
engine operation in an enclosed 100,000 cu. ft. area with
only one change of air per hour is capable of providing
deadly concentrations of CO in less than fi fteen minutes.
Five changes of air in the same area will produce noxious
fumes in less than 30 minutes. Gasoline or propane pow­ ered equipment should not be used in enclosed or partially
enclosed areas. Symptoms of CO poisoning include, head­ ache, nausea, weakness, dizziness, visual problems and
loss of consciousness. If symptoms occur - get into fresh
air and seek medical attention immediately.

ELECTRICAL POWERED EQUIPMENT

Extreme care must be taken when operating electric
models with water present: Ensure power cord is prop­erly grounded, is attached to a Ground-Fault-Interrupter
(GFI) outlet, and is undamaged.

• Check all electrical cables - be sure connections are tight and

cable is continuous and in good condition. Be sure cable is

correctly rated for both the operating current and voltage of

this equipment.

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can

result in a risk of electric shock. Check with qualifi ed electri-
cian or service person if there is any doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Adhere to all local codes and

ordinances.

• NOTE: In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding

provides a path of least resistance for the electric current to

dissipate. The motor is equipped with a grounded plug and

must be connected to an outlet that is properly installed and

properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided on the

motor. If the plug does not fi t the outlet have a qualifi ed electri-

cian install the proper receptacle.

• Switch motor OFF before disconnecting power.

• Do not disconnect power by pulling cord. T o disconnect, grasp

the plug, not the cord.

• Unplug power cord at the machine when not in use and before
servicing.

• Stop motor/engine when adjusting or servicing this equipment.

Maintain a safe operating distance from fl ammable
materials. Sparks from the cutting-action of this machine
can ignite fl ammable materials or vapors.

DUST WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activi­ties contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints, and

• Crystalline silica from bricks and concrete and other

masonry products.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending

on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your risk:
work in a well ventilated area, use a dust control system, such
as an industrial-style vacuum, and wear approved personal
safety equipment, such as a dust/particle respirator designed
to fi lter out microscopic particles.

Read and understand the Operator’s Manual,

and the Engine/Motor Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual

before operating this equipment.

Death or serious injury can result if this machine is used improperly.

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. Every­day 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 confi gured for the job application. Be sure all safety decals can
be clearly read and understood. Replace damaged or missing decals immediately.

• The CPM-4-8-10 and ScariLite-8 Planers are designed to plane fl at, horizontal concrete or asphalt slabs. They
may be called Planers, Mills, Grinders or Scarifi ers and may be equipped with gasoline, propane engines or
electric motors. They are designed to be operated by a single operator from a position at the rear of the equip­ ment.

• 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 infl uence of drugs, alcohol or when taking medications that impair the
senses or reactions, or when excessively tired or under stress.

For Electric Models:

Electric motors 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. Insuffi cient power will cause a

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 under rated
extension cords. Electrical shock could result in death or serious injury to the operator and damage to
the equipment.

For Gasoline or Propane Models:

Poisonous exhaust gas. Do not operate gasoline or propane 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 in a well
ventiated area. Properly clean any spilled fuel before starting the engine.

CPM-4-8-10-SACRALITE8 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

When using Hi-carbon steel or Tungsten Carbide cutter wheels:

IMPORTANT!

Read the engine manufacturer’s manual, familiarize yourself with engine start procedures.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE: *Gasoline models only

Be sure that the cutter drum assembly has been properly installed and the cutter
drum shaft is in place and secured.

1. Select a level place at the job site. Set the “disengage lever” in the full DOWN
position. Refer to (Figure A).
It is most important to determine the position of the cutter wheels as they relate to
the slab or fl oor surface. If the drum assembly is fi lled with cutters, the cutter
wheels will most likely contact the slab when the “disengage lever” is lowered.
Refer to (Figure B).
Turn the “depth adjustment crank” UP until the cutter wheels are clear of the slab.
Refer to (Figure A). Follow these instructions each time before the engine is
started to prevent accidental damage to the slab.

Position

2. Raise the “disengage lever” to the full UP position. DO NOT force the lever. If
resistance is felt, turn the “depth adjustment crank” DOWN one or two turns.
This will allow the “disengage lever” to reach its normal full UP position. Refer to
(Figure C).

3. Check level of oil in engine crankcase (engines are usually shipped dry, oil must
be added as per engine manufacturers instructions). *

4. Check fuel level ( follow engine manufacturers instructions). *

5. Be sure all guards (belt, motor, cutter wheel) are in place and secure.

6. Vacuum hose port should have hose attached or cap installed to control dust
generated during the cutting operation.

7. Locate engine on/off switch, if the engine is so equipped. On some engines the
throttle control is also the engine shut-off switch. Familiarize yourself with this
operation. *

8. All EDCO gasoline engine operated planers are equipped with a STOP switch,
usually located on the handle. Use this switch for emergency engine shut-off. *

9. Cold engine starting: Be sure fuel line valve is open. Set choke (separate lever
on some engines - others have choke as part of throttle control). Open throttle
(full to engage choke) 3/4 to full on engines with a separate choke. Turn engine
ignition switch ON. Be sure emergency STOP switch is ON. *
