About the Tomahawk Floor Stripper:
•
The Floor Stripper is a low maintenance unit, designed to remove vinyl tile (Note: for ceramic tile a special blade
is required), industrial build-ups, adhesives and carpet from flat horizontal surfaces using a rapid action,
oscillating blade. The Floor Stripper may be used on concrete and/or wood surfaces and operates on standard
household current. Do not use the Floor Stripper for any purpose other than that for which it was designed. Do
not modify the machine.
Before Starting:
• Inspect the work surface for cracks, uneven joints and foreign objects such as nails, screws and pipes. Damage
to the blade and/or equipment may result, which can also cause serious injury to the operator. Hazardous areas
should be properly identified, clearly marked and avoided.
•
Be sure the power switch is in the OFF position. Inspect the power and extension cords before plugging into the
power source. Do not use if either cord is frayed or showing wear.
Inspect the blade carefully before installing. Blade must be sharp and properly installed. (See page 6) Use
only genuine blades. Do not use
any
questionable blade since serious personal injury and/or dam- age to
property can result.
NOTE: BLADE IS EXTREMELY SHARP!
Wear heavy duty work gloves when changing
the blades and handle with care.
•
Adjust the angle of the cut for the conditions of the job at hand. (See page 6 for suggestions)
If you need to make a test cut, do it in an inconspicuous area.
•
On carpet and sheet floors, pre-cut the material to be removed in a strip as wide as the blade.
•
NOTE:
A special blade is required for ceramic tile removal.
