Dust  and other particle contamination can be 
controlled by the following methods: 
 
 
a) The Floor Planer is equipped with a 1-1/2 or 3 inch 
outside diameter vacuum tube adaptor. The 1-1/2 inch 
diameter adaptor is located at the rear of the machine. 
The 3 inch diameter  adaptor is located  at the front of 
the machine. An industrial type vacuum cleaner can 
be attached to the Floor Planer to remove/control dust 
and other particle contamination from the work 
surface. A dipstick is provided for the 1-1/2 inch 
adaptor to prevent dust from exiting onto the operators 
shoes  and pants when a  vacuum is not attached. A 
plastic cover is provided for the 3 inch diameter 
adaptor. Remove the dipstick by pulling straight back 
toward the rear wheels. Insert a vacuum hose over the 
tube. A hose clamp is sometimes required to properly 
secure the vacuum hose to the tube. FIGURE 30.

ALWAYS UTILIZE A VACUUM SYSTEM DESIGNED 
TO OPERATE WITHIN THE SPECIFIC JOBSITE 
REQUIREMENT. DUST MATERIAL CAN MEET 
CLASS II OR CLASS III SPECIFICATIONS OF THE 
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE® FOR 
HAZARDOUS LOCATION CLASSIFICATIONS. 
CONSIDERATION MUST ALSO BE GIVEN TO THE 
CREATION OF HAZARDOUS TYPE MATERIALS 
REQUIRING SPECIFIC DISPOSAL PROCEDURES. 
DETERMINE THAT THE VACUUM SYSTEM IS 
PROPERLY DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITHIN 
THESE ATMOSPHERES. CONSULT CURRENT 
NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE®, OSHA AND 
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 

REGULATIONS FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION. 
 
b) The 8FG Series Floor Planers can be equipped with 
a 1/4 inch NPT water mist dust control fitting (option) 
on the main frame. This fitting is provided to allow the 

installation of a  valve  and standard garden hose. 
Water can be regulated by the valve to minimize dust 
problems when a  vacuum is not available or its use 
not desired. As a general rule, a small volume of water 
is required. It is not necessary to flood the work 
surface material. An added benefit is that the water 
can reduce the amount of heat generated by the 
planing process and significantly  add to flail  and 
bearing service life. FIGURE 31.

WATER USED IN THIS PROCEDURE CAN ACT AS 
A CONDUCTOR OF ELECTRICITY. USE OF ALL 
ELECTRICALLY POWERED EQUIPMENT BEING 
OPERATED ON AND/OR AROUND THE VICINITY 
OF THE WET WORK SURFACE INCREASES THE 
POTENTIAL FOR ELECTROCUTION. CONSULT 
CURRENT NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES AND 
OSHA REGULATIONS FOR SPECIFIC 
INFORMATION. 
 

 

 
When utilizing water to control dust and other 
particle contamination, thoroughly clean the 
interior surfaces of the Floor Planer to remove any 
material build-up. Failure to properly clean the 
interior surfaces can result in dried material build-
up affecting operation and/or bearing service life. 
 
c) Many oil based materials such as  asphalt can 
quickly  accumulate on components and severely 
restrict the ability of the flails to remove material from 
the work surface. Kerosene and other types of oil 
based solvents can be utilized to remove the 
accumulated material(s).
