BULL FLOOR STRIPPER
OWNER'S MANUAL

OPERATION

Operating
The Bull-Stripper removes any bonded floor covering by using a vibrating knife. The knife is
driven by an electric motor.
The drive unit is powered by a separate motor.
The blade drive starts as soon as the machine is switched on and can easily be switched off by
pressing the emergency stop switch or the red OFF switch. The drive unit motor starts by
pressing the safety switch on the handle bar. If the handle bar is pushed forward the drive unit
starts to work, and the machine starts to move. The drive can be locked in the moving position
by stepping on the foot lever at the bottom of the handle bar.
The Bull-Stripper is equipped with a power-on indicator lamp. If the lamp does not indicate
power-on, use another power socket or check power supply.
If a supply power failure occurs during operation, switch the machine on again.
Preparations (Carpets, Coverings)
Before starting work, cut the floor covering into strips of about 35 cm (12 inch). You cannot
work faster if you cut wider strips.
To begin, cut one strip crosswise. Then lift the floor covering slightly in order to get the blade
underneath it. We recommend that you cut the first strip at right angles to the main working
direction. By so doing access to the adjacent strips is made easier.
Cut the strips smaller if the floor covering is bonded very securely, e.g. with an epoxy adhesive.
The blades are sharpened by the floor pavement. Therefore, the blade only has to be changed
if it is twisted, rounded or becomes worn.
The driving wheels are subject to wear. They have to be changed when necessary.
