BLADES

• Wood or wood like floors: pound down or remove any nails or metal obstruction to avoid blade damage.
• Blades can be offset in cutting head for easier access to toe kicks or removal along the wall
(See Figure A).
• Sheet vinyl, solid vinyl, rubber tile, urethane or PVC sheet roofing, will need to be scored for best
removal results. Nationals #584 Scoring Tool (See Figure B).
• On direct glued down carpet, the carpet should be scored to blade width for optimum ease of use
(See Figure C).
• Self scoring blades are available in a number of sizes. These blades eliminate the need for pre-scoring
material. The 5'' x 6'' blade is recommended. Do not go larger than a 3'' x 12'' blade. Depending upon
the type of material being removed and the sharpness of the blade and scoring wings, the self scoring
blades may make it harder to control or push the machine (pre-scoring is a better method).
• Keep scoring wings sharp at all times.
• Keep in mind, narrow width blades will make a cleaner floor surface.
• When working over plywood sub-floor, try to work in a 45° direction to the grain of the wood.
• When working over concrete, beware of expansion joints and floor mounted receptacles.
• Proper blade size and placement, depending on material and floor type, greatly affects performance.
(The harder a job comes up, the smaller the blade for ease of use.)
•
KEEP BLADES SHARP!
• Dull blades greatly affect the performance of the machine.
• Keep your work area clean and clear of debris.
• After you have removed a portion of material, clear it out of the way. This will give the machine
maximum performance and help to keep the work area safe.
