5) Typically, adhesive/mastic densities or thickness
change on the job site usually as a result of application
rates on the work surface. This, in turn directly affects
bond densities and thickness. As these factors
change, the blade angle can be adjusted with the Back
S
aver™ Blade Control System to help optimize
covering removal rates.
6) Keep the extension cord free and clear the the main
frame area and orbiting blade/ceramic tile ripper
attachment while the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER
