WOOD SET-UP (FIGURE DD)

The slide plate should be adjusted to a low setting 2.5 cm (1”) off the

oor. Use Shank

Blades, Shank Blades with carbide tips or a 15 to 18 cm (6”or 8”) Cutting Head with Shoe
Blades, Bent Shoe Blades or Heavy Duty Blades. Note: Run machine 45° to the grain of
the wood.

SECONDARY BACKING CARPET SET-UP

The slide plate should be adjusted to a low setting 2.5 cm (1”) off the

oor. Use a Cutting

head from 25 to 68 cm (10” to 27”) with Heavy Duty Blades or a Cutting Head from 25 to
35 cm (10” to 14”) with a Self-Scoring Blade.

FOAM BACK CARPET SET-UP

The slide plate should be adjusted to a low setting (1”) one inch off the

oor. Use Cutting

Heads from 25 to 35 cm (10” to 14”) with Self-Scoring Blades. If it is not stuck tight, use a
Cutting Head from 35 to 68 cm (14” to 27”) with a Standard Blade.

DOUBLE STICK CARPET SET-UP

The slide plate should be adjusted to a low setting 2.5 cm (1”) one inch off the

oor. It is

best to test to see which is the easiest way to remove double stick. Start with a Cutting
Head from 25 to 35 cm (10” to 14”) with Self-Scoring Blades (Figure HH). If self-scoring
blades do not work, score thru the carpet (Figure II) the width of the blade (Standard
Blade) and scrape up. In some cases, carpet might pull off the pad and then scrape up
the pad separately. Usually leaving carpet connected to the pad works the best. Sharp
blades are necessary for proper operation.
Note: When removing carpet from over VCT Tile and the tile needs to be saved, run the
machine at a 45° angle over the tile. This should help to save the tile.

VCT TILE SET-UP

The slide plate should be adjusted to a low setting 2.5 cm (1”) off the

oor. If goods come

up easily, change to a larger Cutting Head. If goods come up harder, use a Cutting Head
from 15 to 20 cm (6” to 8”) with a Premium High Tempered Blade (.062) to match cutting
head size. Sometimes a .094 blade may work better. If goods remove easily, a Tile Box
#7074 can be used. A tile box also works for wind rowing, assists for a fast clean-up and
collection of tile debris for quick removal.

RUBBER TILE SET-UP

The slide plate should be adjusted to a low setting (1”) one inch off the

oor. Use a Cut-

ting Head from 15 to 35 cm (6” to 14”) with self-scoring blades or use ditching method
with a

at blade.

RE-SCRAPING SET-UP

Slide plate should be set high, 15 to 20 cm (6’’ to 8’’) off the

oor. Use a Cutting Head

from 20 to 68 cm (8” to 27”) with Scraper Blades to match cutting head size. A 15”
scrapper blade would use a 35 cm (14”) Cutting Head. Razor Blades are faster but a
Cutting Head from 20 to 35 cm (8” to 14”) can be used with a Standard Blade. Flip head
regularly.

THIN COATING SET-UP

Slide plate could be set high, 15 to 20 cm (6’’ to 8’’) or low 2.5 cm (1”) off the

oor. Test

to see which works best. Use a Cutting Head from 20 to 68 cm (8” to 27”) with Razor
Blades to match cutting head size.

WORKING OVER CONCRETE

Blade should be bevel up when working over concrete. Pretty much anything over con-
crete works. Try different set-ups to see which works best. If goods come up dif

cult, the

slide plate should be at a low setting, 2.5 cm (1”) off the

oor. Use a smaller size blade. If

goods come up easily, a wider blade can be used.
