ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATION
blade manufacturing process, but can significantly increase overall productivity rates versus the continued use of a dull blade. Remove the blade from the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER per the procedures outlined in this manual. Clamp the blade in a suitable vice. Use the file to sharpen the blade with a procedure similar to that of sharpening a rotary lawnmower blade. FIGURE 28.
DANGER
SPARKS PRODUCED BY THE ACTIONS OF BLADE AND/OR CERAMIC TILE RIPPER ATTACHMENT AGAINST THE WORK SURFACE (FOR EXAMPLE: STRIKING ANCHOR BOLTS) CAN RESULT IN A FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION. THIS OCCURRENCE CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
DANGER
THE CREATION OF DUST AND OTHER FOREIGN
PARTICLE CONTAMINATION FROM THE
COVERING REMOVAL PROCESS CAN RESULT IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL
INJURY. FOR SUCH OPERATING CONDITIONS,
ALWAYS WEAR A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED
DUST/MIST RESPIRATOR AND APPROPRIATE
SAFETY RELATED APPAREL. CONSULT
APPLICABLE OSHA REGULATIONS FOR
SPECIFIC INFORMATION.
6) Dust and other particle contamination can be controlled by the use an appropriate industrial type
FIGURE 28vacuum system to remove/control dust and other particle contamination from the work surface.
DANGER
EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE. CLAMP THE BLADE FIRMLY IN THE VICE. REMAIN CLEAR OF THE CUTTING EDGE DURING THE SHARPENING PROCESS. IMPROPER CONTACT WITH THE BLADE CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
5)The coverings removal process on many work surface materials can produce sparks, dust and other foreign particle contamination. Many covering materials, adhesives and/or mastics can contain asbestos and other chemicals that are known to cause physical harm and/or affect the environment. These types of materials need to be properly identified, contained and disposed of according to established OSHA, EPA and other rules and regulations.
DANGER
ALWAYS UTILIZE A VACUUM SYSTEM TO OPERATE WITHIN THE SPECIFIC JOBSITE REQUIREMENT. DUST MATERIAL CAN MEET CLASS II OR CLASS III SPECIFICATIONS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE® FOR HAZARDOUS LOCATION CLASSIFICATIONS. CONSIDERATION MUST ALSO BE GIVEN TO THE CREATION OF HAZARDOUS TYPE MATERIALS REQUIRING SPECIFIC DISPOSAL PROCEDURES. DETERMINE THAT THE VACUUM SYSTEM IS PROPERLY DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITHIN THESE ATMOSPHERES. CONSULT CURRENT NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE®, OSHA AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGULATIONS FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION.
7)Water applied to the work surface is not normally utilized to control dust and other particle contamination. Water, and/or other conductive materials, should be removed from the work surface by an industry approved and/or accepted practice BEFORE utilizing the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER to remove the covering material.
