    GENERAL OPERATION WARNING: Do not operate machine around excessive moisture areas, such as abatement work and flooded pool areas. Always use a GFI wall outlet or plug (stock #530 Circuit Guard is recommended). Failure to do so could cause damage in machine or injury to operator. WHEEL ADJUSTMENT Adjusting wheel angle will change the blade angle to the floor.
  • Page 10: Handle Adjustment

    GENERAL OPERATION HANDLE ADJUSTMENT AFTER THE PROPER WHEEL ADJUSTMENT IS ACHIEVED, ADJUST HANDLE No matter what the wheel angle is set at, the handle should be adjusted to the "belt-line" of the operator or to what the operator is comfortable with (See Figure A). Low setting works best on soft sub floors, plywood, luan, particleboard and wafer board.

  • Page 12: Blades

    BLADES BLADE CHANGING 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 13 BLADES BLADE SETTING (continued) • Wood or wood like floors: pound down or remove any nails or metal obstruction to avoid blade damage. • Blades can be offset in cutting head for easier access to toe kicks or removal along the wall (See Figure A).
  • Page 14: Types Of Tearouts

    BLADES TYPES OF TEAROUTS REMOVAL MATERIALS WARNING: Never remove flooring containing asbestos without fully understanding proper state and federal procedures and guidelines. Wear safety glasses. • VCT TILE: Never use a blade wider than the size of the tile being removed (See Figure A). If goods being removed still do not come up clean or machine jumps on top of goods, reduce blade size to a smaller blade until proper blade size is found or use a smaller portion of the blade.
  • Page 15 BLADES TYPES OF TEAROUTS (continued) SUBFLOOR SURFACES • WOOD: When working over plywood sub-flooring, try to run machine in a 45° angle to the grain in the wood. Blade in most cases should be bevel down. On solid wood floors, like plank, run 45° to the plank, not cross grain or cross plank.
