FIGURE 21
2. If 3 inch (76.2 mm) chisel encounters difficulty removing floor covering
material, breaker blow force must be concentrated over a narrower tool
width. Remove 3 inch (76.2 mm) chisel and install a 1 inch (25.4 mm)
wide chisel and re-evaluate ease of flooring removal. Narrower tool
should minimize removal difficulties, but productivity rates will normally be
significantly reduced versus 3 inch (76.2 mm) chisel. FIGURE 22
FIGURE 22
3. The 3 inch (76.2 mm) chisel is also effective for removing a wide range of
thinset type materials from cement surfaces. When used for this purpose,
risk of surface cap damage increases requiring repair before new material
installation.
Wide Flat Chisels
1. Flat chisels are usually available in 4 to 5 inch (101.6 mm to 127 mm)
widths normally utilized with hand-held jackhammers for cutting asphalt,
but can also be adapted for removing thinset-type materials. Depending
upon adhesion strength to floor surface, increased removal rates can
sometimes be achieved over the 1 and 3 inch (25.4 mm and 76.2 mm)
chisels. FIGURE 23

Scraper Blades
RIP-R-STRIPPER uses scraper blades up to 12 inch (304.8 mm) wide for a
variety of job applications, including: mastic and adhesive removal, thinset
removal, plus general material build-up removal from cement surfaces.
1. Scraper blades are manufactured from high carbon steel and heat
treated. Blades normally feature blunt cutting edges for use with direct
impact-type forces and are not intended to be resharpened unlike those
normally used with hand-operated scraper products.
2. Blades provided by General Equipment Company are available in 5, 8-1/2
and 12 inch (127 mm, 215.9 mm and 304.8 mm) widths. Use of specific
size is normally dependent upon such factors as: type of material
removed, thickness, adhesion strength and sub floor.
NOTE:
Scraper blades are not intended for use on wood and certain sub floor
configurations. Blade edge hammering effect can result in excessive damage to
work surface.
3. In general, scraper blades are used at higher angles relative to work
surface for most intended use applications. Experience suggests most
effective blade angle range is 35 to 60 degrees from work surface. Lower
angles prevent blade edge from penetrating and allow skimming over
versus removing adhesives, etc. FIGURE 24
