CAUTION!
Ø
Prior to pressing the “on/reset” button, ALWAYS
first set the strip motor to “0” to prevent overload
due to the starting current!

- Set the rotary button for drive speed fully to
the left, to the zero position.
- Check that the emergency stop button is not
pressed in.
- Press the green “ON” button: the led in the
button should light now.

backwards using the green thumb buttons on
the handle.
- Use the potentiometer on the tiller head to set
the forward drive speed, the reverse speed is
always maximum.
- Work in long lanes, do not repeatedly reverse.
- Turning around is easy by tilting the stripper
backwards and using the freewheels for
turning around.
CAUTION!
Ø
Do NOT stand on the stripper for extra weight!
- Also during the work, regularly check that all
bolts are still properly fastened.
- Do not drive against walls or fixed objects.
Make sure there are no bolts, screws or
threaded ends protruding from the floor. This
could damage the strip mechanism.

front of the machine.

accidents.

means of its own power, or manually by means
of the freewheels.

8.5 Replacing a blade
WARNING!
The strip blades are hardened and very sharp,
ALWAYS wear gloves when placing and replacing a
strip blade!
- Place a block under the blade holder, so
that the Floor stripper is somewhat tilted
backwards.
- Loosen the four bolts of the blade holder by a
few turns.
- Take the blunt blade from the blade holder,
store it so that no-one can injure themselves
with it.
- Slide the required strip blade between the
lower and upper piece of the blade holder,
making sure the recesses fall over the bolts.
- Properly tighten the blade holder bolts again,
replace the screws when they show signs of
wear!
- The Floor stripper is now ready for use again!
