16. Using proper operator stance, push forward with both hands on operator
handle to engage accessory tool and initiate breaker action. To stop
breaker action, reduce forward applied pressure. If extension cord
becomes entangled about RIP-R-STRIPPER and/or operator turn
machine ON/OFF switch to OFF position immediately.
NOTE: If accessory tool does not properly contact internal breaker anvil,
breaker blow force will not transmit to tool. Breaker will function, but floor
covering cannot be removed.
17. Consistently remove loose flooring material to determine proper material
removal depths and extent of work completed. Lack of proper dust
collection system and/or broom use can increase problem.
IMPORTANT: Properly dispose of all accumulated floor covering materials
according to international and local environmental regulations.
RIP-R-STRIPPER normal use creates material build-up on machine. It is highly
recommended all exposed internal/external surfaces be properly cleaned after
each use plus, adjust wheel scraper clearance to minimize material build-up on
wheels. DO NOT allow materials to build up around breaker.
