electrocution concern for the operator  and/or 
associated work personnel. 
 
 
 
DANGER
 
 
WATER OR OTHER CONDUCTIVE MATERIALS 
DEPOSITED ON THE WORK SURFACE 
INCREASES THE ELECTROCUTION POTENTIAL 
FOR THE OPERATOR AND/OR ASSOCIATED 
WORK PERSONNEL. DETERMINE THE FLOOR 
COVERING SCRAPER IS PROPERLY GROUNDED 
(NO FAULTS), THE EXTENSION CORD IS FREE OF 
CUTS, ABRASIONS, EXPOSED  CABLE STRANDS 
AND THAT THE GFI  PROPERLY FUNCTIONS TO 
ELIMINATE FAULT CONCERNS. IMPROPER 
MACHINE GROUNDING, EXTENSION CORDS 
AND/OR GFI CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY 
DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY. 
 
8) Normal usage of the FLOOR COVERING 
SCRAPER will allow the build-up and accumulation of 
work surface materials on the surfaces. It is highly 
recommended that both the interior and exterior 
surfaces be properly cleaned  after the completion of 
each use. 
 
 
CAUTION
 
 
Failure to properly clean the interior surfaces of 
the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER can result in 
dried material build-up and accumulation directly 
affecting bearing service life. 
 
DANGER
 
 
EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN UTILIZING 
ANY SOLVENT TO REMOVE ACCUMULATED 
MATERIALS FROM THE SURFACES OF THE 
MACHINE AND RELATED COMPONENTS. MANY 
SOLVENTS ARE FLAMMABLE. DO NOT SMOKE 
OR INTRODUCE FLAME IN THE WORK AREA. 
PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND WEAR 
PROPER SAFETY APPAREL. 
 
DANGER
 
 
PROPERLY DISPOSE OF ALL ACCUMULATED 
MATERIALS PER OSHA AND ENVIRONMENTAL 
PROTECTION AGENCY CODES AND 
REGULATIONS. MANY ACCUMULATED 
MATERIALS CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS 
HAZARDOUS AND REQUIRE PROPER DISPOSAL 
PROCEDURES. CONTACT THE APPLICABLE 
GOVERNMENT AND/OR PRIVATE AGENCIES FOR 
SPECIFIC INFORMATION. 
 
9) When the covering removal process creates  a 
considerable  amount of loose material on the work 
surface, it can become almost impossible to determine 
proper material removal depths and the extent of work 
already 
accomplished. The problem can be 
compounded if a vacuum system is not utilized. Loose 
material should be removed by sweeping or other, 
appropriate processes and the FLOOR COVERING 
SCRAPER utilized until conditions again warrant 
removing the accumulated material. 
 
STOPPING THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER ON 
THE JOBSITE. 
 
1) Stopping the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is 
accomplished by moving the ON/OFF switch located 
on the operator handle to the OFF position. For safety 
considerations, it is also recommended that the 
extension cord be disconnected from both the FLOOR 
COVERING SCRAPER and electric power source 
whenever the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is not in 
use on the job site. 
OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS AND TECHNIQUES 
FOR THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. 
 
1) The specific type and/or density of adhesives  and 
mastics which bond coverings to the work surface can 
directly  affect removal rates. Many  adhesives or 
mastics remain flexible in the fully cured state. These 
types of materials are usually darker or black in color. 
The adhesives and mastics which become dried in the 
fully cured state  are usually yellowish or opaque in 
color.  These types of materials will usually require 
less effort to remove than the dark types which remain 
flexible even when cured. 
 
2) As a general rule, the lower the adhesive or mastic 
density (amount) utilized to adhere the covering to the 
work surface, the lower the force required to "shear" 
through the bond and thus, the greater the covering 
removal rate.  
 
3) As a general rule, the thicker the adhesive or mastic  
utilized to adhere the covering to the work surface, the 
greater the force required to "shear" through the bond 
and thus, the lower the covering removal rate. 
 
4) The Back-Saver™ Blade Control System is 
designed to adjust blade  angle relative to the work
