6.0 Information about various floorings

Main applications of the Duro® Stripper are carpets with foam backing,
CV-flooring, PVC-floorings and light carpets.
CV-floorings, PVC-floorings and carpets without foam backing
Cut strips according to the blade width. Check from time to time if the blade is
straight.
Carpets with foam backing
Use sharp blades only! Remove upper layer with carpet clamp. Remove the foam
backing with the stripper. Remove foam across the width if you have an uneven
sub-floor.

These tiles can be removed without pre-cutting, if they are not bonded extremely
