ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS/OPERATIONS
the use of an aggressive flail configuration because of productivity and cost considerations. Less aggressive flail configurations can then be utilized for the final finishing sequence. Generally speaking, the more aggressive the flail configuration, the more coarse the resulting finish and texture.
FIGURE 1
Many flail configurations are available to meet a wide variety of job application and surface material specifications. To give additional perspective to each configuration a rating system of 1 to 10 (10 being highest) has been devised.
Star Flail
The star type flail is manufactured from high carbon, alloy steel that is through hardened for additional service life. FIGURE 2. It is highly effective for light cleaning or scarifying and delivers a fine surface finish texture. Designed for medium to high speed material removal of the work surface.
FIGURE 2
Suggested Applications:
1)Removal of thin coatings and encrusted accumulations.
2)Cleaning concrete and asphaltic surfaces.
3)Removing thick material
4)Light scarifying prior to the application of coatings, toppings or sealers.
5)Light, steel deck descaling projects.

SERVICE LIFE 1. The star flail should be replaced when the outside diameter is worn to approximately 1- 5/16 inch or the inside diameter elongates to approximately 3/4 inch.
Beam Flail
The beam type flail is manufactured from high carbon, alloy steel that is through hardened for additional service life. FIGURE 3. It is highly effective for scabbling or scarifying and delivers medium to coarse surface finish texture. Designed for medium to high speed material removal of the work surface.
