9)Couple the NEMA L5-15R receptacle of the factory supplied extension cord and the NEMA L5-15P plug located on the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER together. Twist to lock. FIGURE 22. Connect the GFI to the power source receptacle.

10)Grasp the operator handle with firm gripping. When starting the electric motor, apply a down force directly to the operator handle to help reduce the amount of static machine weight against the work surface. The blade or ceramic tile ripper attachment should remain in contact with the surface. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Reduce the amount of applied down force on the operator handle as the electric motor attains its operational speed.
