Components and Assembly CONCRETE When working on concrete slab, a normal blade position is bevel up for best perfor- mance, especially when cleaning adhesive. On occasion, bevel down gives better blade life. Test each job for best performance. GYPCRETE AND SOFT-POURED FLOORING Requires blade bevel down to create a better wearing surface.
Operation WHEEL AND HANDLE ADJUSTMENT Angle Adjusting the wheel angle will change the blade angle to the floor. Rotate handle clock- Adjustment wise to raise wheels and counterclockwise to lower wheels to the desired blade angle Wheel (Figure 4). • A steep wheel angle is recommended on hard tear-outs, e.g.

Operation • Blades can be offset in the cutting head for easier access to toe kicks or for removal along the wall (Figure 7). • Sheet vinyl, solid vinyl, rubber tile, urethane, or PVC sheet roofing will need to be scored for best removal results.
Troubleshooting Guide Problem Cause Solution No power Insufficient power Inspect electrical cord for damage. Switch/Circuit Check if circuit breaker and/or switch are tripped. Motor noise Fan guard is malfunctioning. ensure fan guard is not bent. Machine is hard to handle. Machine is too heavy.
