OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8. Using with Carbide Grout-Removal Blade
WARNING
• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields during power tool operation. If operation is
dusty, also wear a dust mask.
• Wear protective gloves.
• Use sharp, undamaged blades only. Deformed or blunt
blades or blades that are otherwise damaged can
break.
NOTICE: The protrusion on the drive shaft and the
grooves in the accessory permit the accessories to be
installed around the tool in 30° increments.
WARNING
• Do not attach the grout-removal blade facing backward,
as operation in this position may cause serious injury
(Fig. 8a).
Grout-removal blades are ideal for removing damaged
or cracked grout. It can also be used to cut plaster,
porous concrete and masonry. Select a medium to high
speed.
a. To remove the grout, place the carbide grout-removal
blade (J) against the workpiece at a 90° angle. Use a
back and forth motion to make several passes along
the grout line.
b. Try to keep the grout-removal blade aligned with the
grout line and be careful not to apply too much side
pressure on the grout blade during the process.
c. Cut out the grout around the tile, then use a hand chisel to remove the tile from the wall.
If the blade jams during the grout removal process, you can use a brush to clean the grit and
resume work.
NOTICE: When cutting grout, masonry and porous cement, take into consideration that the
application tools/accessories wear heavily when used for longer periods of time.
