backwards toward the operator. FIGURE 2. Position 
the  adjustable section at  a comfortable height. 
Reinstall the threaded knobs and tighten until the 
studs trust up tight against the adjustable handle 
section. 
 

 
The ergonomic design considerations of the 
adjustable section of the operator handle will only 
function if the handle grips are installed facing 
backwards (toward) the operator. Installing the 
adjustable section of the operator handle with the 
handle grips facing forward (away) from the 
operator will decrease machine control and 
productivity.  
 

INSTALLING THE ADJUSTABLE SECTION OF THE 
OPERATOR HANDLE WITH THE HANDLE GRIPS 
FACING FORWARD (AWAY) FROM THE 
OPERATOR WILL NOT ALLOW THE THREADED 
STUDS TO PROPERLY LOCATE WITHIN THE 
SLOTS OF THE ADJUSTABLE HANDLE. THE SLOT 
ENDS FORM INTEGRAL STOPS FOR THE 
THREADED STUDS TO THRUST AGAINST. A 
PROPER STUD/SLOT CONFIGURATION WILL 
PREVENT THE ADJUSTABLE HANDLE FROM 
INADVERTENTLY SEPARATING FROM THE FIXED 
SECTION WHEN TRAVERSING AN INCLINE SUCH 
AS A STAIRWAY. INADVERTENT SEPARATION OF 
THE ADJUSTABLE HANDLE SECTION CAN 
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR 
PERSONAL INJURY.  
Improper knob tension and/or improperly securing 
the operator handle to the main frame can result in 
an unstable platform configuration. An unstable 
platform configuration can result in property 
damage and/or personal injury.

THEORY OF OPERATION. 
 
The SFCS16 FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is 
designed to operate on the principle of various blades 
and/or  attachments oscillating with a  random orbital 
movement to remove a wide variety of covering 
materials from work surfaces. Various types of multi-
accessory blades  and/or  accessory  attachments  are 
secured to the exciter plate located on the bottom of 
the machine. The specific type of blade  and/or 
accessory  attachment utilized directly affects the type 
of material removed, the material removal rate and the 
resulting smoothness of the work surface.  
 
The coverings removal process is directly controlled 
by these conditions: 
 
1) The use of a suitable mechanism (blade or 
accessory 

attachment) of proper design and 

configuration to scrape  against the work surface  and 
remove material while delivering an  acceptable 
service life. 
 
2) Sufficient static weight supporting the blade or 
accessory  attachment to allow it to effectively 
penetrate and remove the covering material. 
 
3) Adequate force exerted against the FLOOR 
COVERING SCRAPER by the operator that pushes 
the blade or accessory  attachment  against the 
covering material to deliver acceptable productivity 
rates. 
 
4) Since no two covering materials  are exactly  alike, 
no two covering materials can be removed by the 
exact same method. The nature of the covering 
removal process, along with operator experience, skill 
and common sense, would suggest that efficient and 
productive material removal is a  matter of trial  and 
error. Combinations of blade or accessory attachment 
type, jobsite conditions, and feed rates  are direct 
factors that will also determine the overall success of 
the job application. 
 
 
BLADE CONFIGURATIONS, ACCESSORY 
ATTACHMENTS AND APPLICATIONS. 
 
FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER blades are fabricated 
from high carbon steel, precision machined  and heat 
treated for extended service life. Blades are marked to 
depict use on either concrete or wood surfaces. When 
utilized on concrete, the cutting edge is positioned 
facing up. FIGURE 3. On wood flooring surfaces, the
