ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATION

5)Wear proper safety apparel and equipment. Use the T-handled Allen wrench to loosen the button head cap screws which secure the fence plate to the exciter plate. This will allow the blade to slide in between the fence plate and the exciter plate. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE FENCE PLATE FROM THE EXCITER PLATE. The fence plate has an integral stop which the edge of the blade thrusts up against. FIGURE 12. Blades are provided with a covering that protects the cutting edge. Do not remove the protective covering until you are ready to operate the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. Exercise extreme caution when removing and/or reinstalling the protective cover.

FIGURE 12

6)Two attachment configurations for blades are utilized. Narrow (less than 6 inches (152 mm) wide) blades are positioned between the two button head capscrews and thrust up against the fence plate stop. FIGURE 13. Use the T-handled Allen wrench to tighten the button head screws. Wider (greater than 6 inches (152 mm) wide) blades incorporate a slotted design which slides around the button head capscrews. The slots afford increased clamping pressure for the wider blades during the covering removal process. SLOTS ALSO MAKE IT UNNECESSARY TO REMOVE THE FENCE PLATE FROM THE EXCITER PLATE. Use the T-handled Allen wrench to tighten the button head capscrews. FIGURE 13. If the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is to be utilized immediately, remove the protective cover from the blade. If the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is not be utilized immediately, do not remove the protective covering from the blade.

7)The installation of the ceramic tile ripper attachment is similar to that of a blade with the exception that the fence plate is removed the exciter plate. The ceramic tile ripper attachment fastens directly to the exciter plate. Follow the same tightening procedure as with a blade. FIGURE 14.

CAUTION

For all blades and the ceramic tile ripper attachment, tighten the button head capscrews with the T-handled Allen wrench provided. Do not utilize another wrench type and/or configuration. The T-handled Allen wrench was chosen to place body parts a practical distance from the blade during the fastener tightening and loosening process. Do not apply excessive impact force to the button head capscrews. Ample seating torque can be applied by the T-handled Allen wrench and normal arm strength levels. Excessive impact force can cause the T- handled Allen wrench to slip out of the button head capscrew, resulting in property damage and/or personal injury.
