4. Applications of the tools
TCT Cutters Heavy duty, long life cutters for all concrete
texturing, scabbling, planing and grooving
applications. Also used for removal of road
markings, roof chippings and brittle coatings
Milling cutters Primarily for the removal of thermoplastic
road / runway markings. Tipped with tungsten
carbide they are cost effective and highly
efficient. A range of cutter dimensions are
available.
Beam flails Heat treated cutters for the removal of paint
coatings and laitance from new concrete. Also
for removing grease, dirt and ice deposits.
5. Safety rules
Attention ! The CT 200 floor planers are constructed according to existing safety rules and
regulations. These technical precautions should not be removed or changed
under any circumstances. While operating the machines the following points
should also be kept in mind:
1. The planers should always be operated with all safety covers and technical precautions.
2. The operator should never leave the machine during operation.
3. Before leaving the machine all rotary parts should be brought to a stand still. The electric
models must be disconnected from the mains. Make sure that the machine cannot roll or
move by itself.
4. After maintenance and adjustment all safety covers must be reattached.
5. If the noise level exceeds 90 dB(A) ear protectors must be worn.
6. In the event of a large amount of dust during operation connect a dust collector to the
planer.

6. Operating
a. After mounting the appropriate tools the operation of the planer can begin.
b. Lower the planer with the lever to the operating position. Turn the hand wheel of
the height adjustment until the tools are lowered to the floor and until you achieve
the required finish.
Attention: Lowering the tools too much decreases the performance of the machine. You
will also destroy the shafts in the drum and the bearings of the machine.
Attention: Never switch the motor of the planer on while the tools still touch the floor.
Always lift the machine and the tools clear from the floor and then switch the motor on.
c. Heavy dust can be avoided by connecting a dust collector to the dust port.
7. Changing the drum
Attention: Before any maintenance, the machine must be brought to a complete stand still.
Always disconnect the machine if it is an electric model.
-Lift the machine with the lever so that the tools are well clear of the floor.
-Unscrew the screws on the right side plate (M10, Key width 17 mm)
-Carefully remove the side plate.
-Take out the drum. Remove worn out tools. Check shafts and drums for wear and tear. If
necessary replace new tools on the drum.
-Push drum on freshly greased shaft.
-Reconnect side plate.

8. Adjusting the drum
During the operation of the CT 200 floor planer or after a drum has been changed or replaced,
the drum shaft and the rear wheel axis can fall out of alignment. This results in an uneven
track on the floor. On one side the drum touches the floor before the other and therefore
removes more surface material on this side.
One of the two rear wheels is mounted on an eccentric shaft (see diagram).
Rear wheel
Clamping screw
Clockwise
If the drum has to be adjusted proceed as follows:
Place the planer on an even floor. Lift the machine with the height adjustment hand wheel,
until all the tools are well clear of the floor. Loosen the clamping screw of the eccentric shaft.
On the other side of the rear wheel is a screw which keeps the wheel on the shaft. Turning the
screw will also turn the eccentric shaft. The floor planer moves up and down on one side.
Always turn the screw clockwise. Anti clockwise would loosens the screw. Keep turning until
all the tools on the drum are the same distance to the floor. Tighten the clamping screw again.

9. Maintenance and cleaning
9.1 Bearings
All bearings are greased for their life time.
9.2 Height adjustment and joints
All joints have to be greased periodically with a standard machine grease.
9.3 Belt drive
Check the belts after approximately every 30 hours of operation. To tension the belt you need
to raise the motor bracket. Loosen the 4 M10 screws of the bracket. The front screws are in
two slots. Raise the bracket until the belts are tensioned. Tighten the screws again.
9.4 Cleaning
Regular cleaning of the machine increases the life of all components and tools of the planer.
