ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATION
1)The FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER utilizes an offset weight design (termed the exciter) that moves the blade or ceramic tile ripper attachment with a random orbit oscillation. This design configuration substantially enhances machine control and reduces fatigue as long as the blade or ceramic tile ripper attachment does not come in direct contact with a protruding obstruction from the floor. Direct contact with such an obstruction can result in rapid and jerky directional movement of the machine. This occurrence can lead to loss of machine control, property damage and/or personal injury. In most operating situations, direct contact with a protruding obstruction from the work surface will, at a minimum, result in damage to the blade and/or ceramic tile ripper attachment.
DANGER
EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN OPERATING THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER IN THE VICINITY OF ANCHOR BOLTS, PIPES, COLUMNS, OPENINGS, PROTRUDING NAIL HEADS, LARGE CRACKS, UTILITY OUTLETS OR ANY OBJECT PROTRUDING FROM THE WORK SURFACE. CONTACT WITH SUCH OBJECTS CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF MACHINE CONTROL, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
DANGER
ALWAYS MAINTAIN PROPER CONTROL OF THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. IF AN OPERATOR LOOSES CONTROL OF THE MACHINE, A "RUNAWAY" FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY. BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER, THERE IS NO PROVISION FOR THE ELECTRIC MOTOR TO AUTOMATICALLY STOP IF THE OPERATOR FAILS TO MAINTAIN PROPER CONTROL.
DANGER
PERSONAL INJURY. WHEN WALKING BACKWARDS DURING THE COVERING REMOVAL PROCESS, BE AWARE OF DROP OFFS AND OBSTRUCTIONS.
2)Productivity rates with the various blade and/or attachments can be increased with the addition of external weight being applied to the front of the machine. FIGURE 23. Each external weight block weighs 14 lbs (6.3 kg). Maximum allowable external weight permits the use of three blocks or 42 lbs (19 kg). Exceeding this figure can result in permanent structural damage to the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. The additional external weight blocks can be secured to the machine with the use of longer length carriage bolts. FIGURE 24.

DANGER
WHEN OPERATING THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER ON ABOVE GROUND FLOOR LEVELS, EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION TO PREVENT LOSS OF CONTROL THAT COULD ALLOW THE MACHINE AND/OR OPERATOR TO FALL DOWN TO LOWER LEVELS. SUCH AN OCCURRENCE CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
DO NOT OPERATE THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER WITHOUT ALL EXTERNAL WEIGHT PROPERLY SECURED TO THE MAIN FRAME. A SUDDEN CHANGE IN MOVEMENT OR DIRECTION CAN ALLOW THE UNSECURED WEIGHT TO FALL OFF THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER, RESULTING IN LOSS OF MACHINE CONTROL,
