4) Tilt the RIP-R-STRIPPER back until the operator
handle comes in contact with the surface. The RIP-R-
STRIPPER may not be in a stable position in this
configuration. To minimize the possibility of property
damage and/or personal injury, properly secure an
appropriate weight to the handle for added stability.
Other means can also be utilized to support the frame
and provide proper machine stability. Appropriate
wheel chocks are also recommended. FIGURE 17.

UNEXPECTED MOVEMENT CAN ALLOW
THE MACHINE TO FALL BACK TO THE
WORK SURFACE. THE RESULT CAN BE
PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL
INJURY.
5) Reinstall the protective blade cover. Exercise
extreme caution when removing and/or reinstalling the
protective cover. Use the T-handled Allen wrench to
loosen the button head cap screws which secure the
blade between the fence plate and exciter plate.
Remove the blade and store in an appropriate location.
Use the T-handled Allen wrench to tighten the button
head cap screws. Keep the button head cap screws
tight to minimize becoming lost.
6) The removal of the ceramic tile ripper attachment is
similar to that of a blade with the exception that the
fence plate is reinstalled to the exciter plate. Follow the
same tightening procedure as with a blade.
For all blades and the ceramic tile ripper
attachment, tighten the button head
cap screws only with the T-handled Allen
wrench provided. Do not utilize another
wrench type and/or configuration. The T-
handled Allen wrench was chosen to place
body parts a practical distance from the
blade during the fastener tightening and
loosening process. Do not apply excessive
impact force to the button head cap screws.
Ample seating torque can be applied by the
T-handled Allen wrench. Excessive impact
force can cause the T- handled Allen wrench
to slip out of the button head cap screw,
resulting in property damage and/or personal
injury.
Do not substitute a different fastener type
for the button head cap screw configuration.
The button head configuration was chosen
for operational considerations. The use of
other fastener types can increase the
potential for property damage and/or
personal injury.
