Using with Carbide Grout-
Removal Blade (Fig. 13)
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.
The grout-removal blade is ideal for removing damaged or cracked grout. It can also be used
to cut plaster, porous concrete, and masonry. Select a medium to high speed.
a. To remove the grout, place the carbide grout-removal blade against the workpiece at a
90° angle. Allow the tool to reach its full selected speed before allowing it to contact the
workpiece. Use a back-and-forth motion to make several passes along the grout line.
b. Try to keep the grout-removal blade aligned with the grout line and be careful not to apply
too much side pressure on the grout-removal blade during the process.
c. Cut out the grout around the tile, then use a hand chisel to remove the tile from the wall.
If the blade jams during the grout-removal process, you can use a brush to clean the grit and
resume work.
NOTICE: When cutting grout, masonry and porous cement, take into consideration that the
accessories wear heavily when used for longer periods of time.
