6.0 Information about various floorings

CV-floorings, PVC-floorings and carpets without foam backing
Cut strips of approx. 30 cm (12 inch) width. If the flooring is bonded very tight, cut
strips smaller. The machine should remove the flooring without slipping wheels.
Carpets with foam backing
A sharp blade is essential in order to ensure the floor covering is removed together with
the foam backing. Remove floorings across the width, particularly if you have any
uneven sub-floor.
Tiles
Use a blade of the same width as the tiles and use a new blade. Tiles about size 30 x
30cm (12 x 12 inches) have to be cut into half. If the sub-floor is uneven, use smaller
blades.
In all cases, check from time to time to ensure the blade is still sharp. If the blade is not
sharp or any distortion has occurred, replace it immediately.
