SC 20 • Operating Manual
Safety stickers on the machine
Warning: sharp blade
Warning: electric shock hazard
Ear protectors must be worn
Damaged or lost safety stickers must be replaced immediately! These stickers are obtainable
from your Customer Service Center.
Use for the intended purpose
The machines are designed exclusively to treat horizontal floor coverings. Any other use does
not correspond to the intended purpose. The manufacturer declines all liability for damage
caused thereby (see also "Field of application" on page 8).
Residual risk
There is still a residual risk owing to differing characteristics of the floor coverings, even if the
machine is used in accordance with applicable regulations.
If you detect irregular floor covering removal, you must adjust the blade angle to a suitable
position and check the sharpening.
Safety and responsibility at work
• Make your contribution to safety at the workplace.
• Report any discrepancy deviating from normal working immediately to the responsible
person.
• Perform all the work with an awareness of the need for safety.
Further safety instructions
Make sure to comply with your local or national regulations, standards and directives.
FIELD OF APPLICATION
A floor scraper machine is a hand guided motor driven power tool with an oscillating head which
is designed to remove layers of flooring material. Its sharp blade is an effective tool for dislodg-
ing old flooring from the adhesive to leave a clean and smooth surface. The floor scraper with
its different blades is designed for:
• Strip floor coverings
• Lift carpet tiles and foam backed carpets
• Remove felt, underlay
• Linoleum and vinyl flooring
• Cork tiles and matting
The machine works off screed, latex, concrete or wood surfaces and will lift floor coverings
leaving a minimum of residue and backing. It can also be used to create a distressed effect on
hardwood flooring. The machine works under its weight on the floor and it is to be led by an
operator.
Not recommended to use with ceramics. The machine should not be used for any other
purpose than that stated above.
