Operation

WHEEL AND HANDLE ADJUSTMENT

Adjusting the wheel angle will change the blade angle to the floor. Rotate handle clock

-

wise to raise wheels and counterclockwise to lower wheels to the desired blade angle 

(Figure 4).

•  A steep wheel angle is recommended on hard tear-outs, e.g. tile over concrete.
•  A low wheel angle is recommended for vinyl, vCT, or carpet removal over plywood 

floors, soft sub-floors, plywood, luan, particleboard, or wafer board.

Note:

 Experiment with the angle to see what works the best for the application.

After the proper wheel adjustment is achieved, adjust the 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.

START-UP PROCEDURE

STARTING THE MACHINE

1.  Plug machine into power source.
2.  Press ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position.

TURNING OFF THE MACHINE

Press ON/OFF switch to the “OFF” position to turn off the machine.

PREPARING BLADES

SETTING

•  Proper blade size and placement will affect performance, depending on the mate-

rial and sub-floor type.

• 

For difficult materials, use smaller blades.

•  Start with a narrow blade, then increase blade size to optimize cutting pass. Nar-

rower blades work easier than wider blades and usually clean the floor better. 

•  Normally, bevel up is for concrete (Figure 5); bevel down is for wood or softer sub-

strates, e.g. Gypcrete (Figure 6). 

•  Keep blades sharp. Dull blades greatly affect the performance of the machine and 

reduce cutting ability. Sharpen or replace blades as needed.

•  Keep work area clean and clear of debris. After removing a portion of material, 

move it out of the way. 

• 

For wood or wood-like floors, pound down or remove any nails or metal obstruc

-

tions to avoid blade damage.
