OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
9. Using with Rigid Scraper 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.
WARNING
• Do not attach the rigid scraper blade facing backwards,
as operation in this position may cause serious injury
(Fig.9a).
Scrapers are suitable for removing old coats of varnish
or adhesives and removing bonded carpeting. Select low
to medium speed. Carpet/vinyl flooring is removed more
easily if it is scored prior to removal, so that the scraper
blade can move underneath the flooring material.
a. To cut and remove carpet, first place the rigid scraper
blade (G) vertically on the carpet, then turn the tool
on and cut through the carpet to the floor.
b. Next, place the blade flat between the carpet and the
floor to remove the adhesive and free the carpet from
the floor.
c. Put the tool on the workpiece at a flat angle (not
more than 20°) and make sure that the locking
rod does not make contact with surface during the
scraping process, so as to not cut into the surface.
d. Begin with light pressure. Excessive pressure can gouge or damage surfaces.
