DANGER
WATER OR OTHER CONDUCTIVE MATERIALS DEPOSITED ON THE WORK SURFACE INCREASES THE ELECTROCUTION POTENTIAL FOR THE OPERATOR AND/OR ASSOCIATED WORK PERSONNEL. DETERMINE THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER IS PROPERLY GROUNDED (NO FAULTS), THE EXTENSION CORD IS FREE OF CUTS, ABRASIONS, EXPOSED CABLE STRANDS AND THAT THE GFI PROPERLY FUNCTIONS TO ELIMINATE FAULT CONCERNS. IMPROPER MACHINE GROUNDING, EXTENSION CORDS AND/OR GFI CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.

Failure to properly clean the interior surfaces of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER can result in dried material
DANGER
EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN UTILIZING ANY SOLVENT TO REMOVE ACCUMULATED MATERIALS FROM THE SURFACES OF THE MACHINE AND RELATED COMPONENTS. MANY SOLVENTS ARE FLAMMABLE. DO NOT SMOKE OR INTRODUCE FLAME IN THE WORK AREA. PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND WEAR PROPER SAFETY APPAREL.
DANGER
PROPERLY DISPOSE OF ALL ACCUMULATED MATERIALS PER OSHA AND ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY CODES AND
REGULATIONS. MANY ACCUMULATED MATERIALS CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS HAZARDOUS AND REQUIRE PROPER DISPOSAL PROCEDURES. CONTACT THE APPLICABLE GOVERNMENT AND/OR PRIVATE AGENCIES FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION.
9)When the covering removal process creates a considerable amount of loose material on the work surface, it can become almost impossible to determine proper material removal depths and the extent of work already accomplished. The problem can be compounded if a vacuum system is not utilized. Loose material should be removed by sweeping or other, appropriate processes and the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER utilized until conditions again warrant removing the accumulated material.
STOPPING THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER ON THE JOBSITE.
1)Stopping the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is accomplished by moving the ON/OFF switch located on the operator handle to the OFF position. For safety considerations, it is also recommended that the extension cord be disconnected from both the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER and electric power source whenever the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is not in use on the job site.
OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS AND TECHNIQUES FOR THE FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER.
1)The specific type and/or density of adhesives and mastics which bond coverings to the work surface can directly affect removal rates. Many adhesives or mastics remain flexible in the fully cured state. These types of materials are usually darker or black in color. The adhesives and mastics which become dried in the fully cured state are usually yellowish or opaque in color. These types of materials will usually require less effort to remove than the dark types which remain flexible even when cured.
2)As a general rule, the lower the adhesive or mastic density (amount) utilized to adhere the covering to the work surface, the lower the force required to "shear" through the bond and thus, the greater the covering removal rate.
3)As a general rule, the thicker the adhesive or mastic utilized to adhere the covering to the work surface, the greater the force required to "shear" through the bond and thus, the lower the covering removal rate.
