Blade setting
• Dull blades greatly reduce cutting ability. Re-sharpen or replace as needed.
• Proper blade size and placement, depending on material and sub-floor type, affects performance.
• The harder a job comes up, for best results, use a smaller blade.
• 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.
• Normally bevel on blade is up for concrete. Bevel down for wood and shoe blades for soft sub-floors.
• KEEP BLADES SHARP.
• Dull blades greatly affect the performance of the machine and reduce cutting ability, resharpen or replace as
needed.
• Keep your work area clean and clear of debris.
• After you have removed a portion of material, remove it out of the way. This will give the machine maximum
performance and help to keep the work area safe.
• Always wear gloves when handling blades.
• Everyone in work area should wear eye protection.
