Using with Rigid Scraper Blade
(Fig. 12)
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. De-
formed or blunt blades or blades that are
otherwise damaged can break and cause
injury.
Scrapers are suitable for removing 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 more freely underneath the flooring material.
a. To cut and remove carpet, first place the rigid scraper blade vertically on the carpet, then
turn the tool on. Allow the tool to reach the full selected speed before allowing it to contact
the workpiece, 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
clamping screw does not make contact with the 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.
