surface without first stopping the machine to adjust mechanical linkages or bend over to operate a crank lever system. The Back-Saver™ Control System features a crank lever located on the operator console. FIGURE 29. Crank the lever clockwise to decrease the blade angle. Turn the crank lever counterclockwise to increase the blade angle.

5)Typically, adhesive/mastic densities or thickness change on the job site usually as a result of application rates on the work surface. This, in turn directly affects bond densities and thickness. As these factors change, the blade angle can be adjusted with the Back Saver™ Blade Control System to help optimize covering removal rates.

6)Keep the extension cord free and clear the the main frame area and orbiting blade/ceramic tile ripper attachment while the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is in operation. Contact with the blade can damage the extension cord and create a potential electrocution concern. In the event of damage, replace the extension cord with a factory approved replacement part only.

DANGER

KEEP THE EXTENSION CORD FREE AND CLEAR OF THE MAIN FRAME AND BLADE AREA WHILE THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER IS IN OPERATION. CONTACT WITH THE MAIN FRAME AND BLADE AREA CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

DANGER

IN THE EVENT THE EXTENSION CORD BECOMES ENTANGLED ABOUT THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER AND/OR THE OPERATOR, TURN THE ELECTRIC MOTOR ON/OFF SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION. FAILURE TO PROPERLY STOP THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER IN THIS OPERATING CONFIGURATION CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY. DETERMINE THE EXTENSION CORD AND GFI ARE IN PROPER CONDITION TO CONTINUE OPERATION. REPLACE ANY DAMAGED COMPONENT WITH A FACTORY APPROVED REPLACEMENT PART ONLY.

DANGER

DISCONNECT THE EXTENSION CORD FROM THE

FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER WHEN TRAVERSING UP AND DOWN STAIRWAYS. AN IMPROPERLY STORED/CONNECTED EXTENSION CORD CAN ENTRAP AND/OR ENTANGLE PERSONNEL, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

7)Scoring blades are available to remove covering material such as rubber-backed carpet and linoleum from concrete and wood surfaces. The vertical ends of the scoring blade are designed to shear the covering and remove it in various widths as determined by the overall blade width. FIGURE 30.

CAUTION

Do not operate the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER with the vertical ends of the scoring blade facing down toward the work surface. In this configuration, damage to the work surface can result.
