  • Page 13: Blade Changing / Installation

    PA1FS FLOOR SCRAPER BLADE INSTALLATION BLADE CHANGING / INSTALLATION CAUTION Blades are sharp. Handle with care. Failure to do so could cause bodily injury. • Dull blades greatly reduce cutting ability. Re-sharpen or replace as needed. • Proper blade size and placement per job type greatly affects performance.

  • Page 14: Blade Usage

    PA1FS FLOOR SCRAPER BLADES BLADE USAGE Start with a narrow blade, then increase blade size to optimize cutting pass. Narrower blades work easier than wider blades and usually clean the floor better. Wider is not always better or faster. Proper blade size and placement, depending on material and sub-floor type, greatly affects performance.
