Wear safety footwear, eye protection and snug fit clothing. Operate the Planer only from the “Walk Behind” position. Operate on flat, level roofs only. GRIZZLY Use only planer blocks. Keep away from electrical lines. Use caution when handling fuel. Gasoline is very flammable. Shut off engine, and allow cooling before refuelling.
OPERATION Before Operation Check to see that engine is serviced properly. Read Honda operation and safety instructions. Handle gasoline with extreme caution. Make certain belt guards and blade guards are in place and secure and that there are no signs of damage or wear of these parts.
The Controls The depth control (ser Fig. 4 and Fig. 5) is located on the centre of the machine, just over the engine. Fig. 4 shows the control in the idle position and Fig. 5 shows the planning position. Turning the crank clockwise adjusts the planning depth lower; counter-clockwise rotation of crank raises the planning disc.
Follow this procedure: while engine is running at low speed and with the planer in it’s idle position, move depth control lever from it’s idle position to the working position slowly. If you engage the surface, immediately put the machine back in the idle position and turn the depth control lever counter-clockwise to raise the disc.
SAW 10W30 is recommended by Honda (see Honda Engines Owner’s manual). Unleaded gasoline is also recommended to increase valve life. If service or repair of engine is needed, contact an authorized Honda Centre, GRIZZLY equipment warranty does not cover the engine, which is covered by a separate warranty from Honda. Lubrication Lubrication recommendations are as follows: Roller bearings on wheels are pre-lubricated and require no greasing.
SAFETY HAZARDS Safety hazards are not always obvious to workers. Unlike exposure to health hazards, where illness or injury develop slowly, safety hazards usually result in immediate injury or death. Broken bones, cuts bruises, sprains, burns and loss of limbs, eyesight and hearing are the kinds of injuries caused by safety hazards.
Many solvents evaporate quickly at roof temperatures. Explosive mixtures of vapours can be readily formed within confined spaces like high parapet walls, in atriums or in any space where little or no ventilation exists. And any kind of spark or flame can ignite the vapours.
