cutting edge faces down against the surface. FIGURE
4. This configuration allows the blade to skim over the
surface and minimize any tendency to gouge or dig
into the wood. A slotted blade configuration is
employed to lower installation and removal time. The
slotted configuration is also intended to help minimize
direct exposure of hands, arms and other body parts
to the blade during the installation or removal process.

A protective covering is provided to protect the blade
cutting edge from external damage and minimize the
potential for property damage and/or personal injury.
Store the blade with the protective covering
properly installed to minimize the effects of
external damage to the cutting edge and the
potential for property damage and/or personal
injury.
THE BLADE IS EXTREMELY SHARP. IMPROPER
HANDLING WHILE REMOVING FROM THE
PACKAGE, REMOVING/REINSTALLING THE
PROTECTIVE CUTTING EDGE COVER,
INSTALLING/REMOVING FROM THE MACHINE OR
WHILE IMPROPERLY TRANSPORTING CAN
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
While individual blade or accessory attachment design
and configuration may vary, basic operational
characteristics are identical: impact against a floor
surface and remove the covering material. This
common operational characteristic has led to the
development of the following popular blade
configurations and accessory attachments:
Angled Mastic Removal Blade.
This blade configuration is utilized to remove a wide
variety of adhesives, mastics and material residues
from concrete surfaces. The steep angle increases
the cutting edge position relative to the floor surface.
The angle increase allows the blade to better
penetrate the material and then shear and scrape it
from the floor surface. The cutting edge faces down
toward the floor surface. Angled mastic blades are
utilized on concrete surfaces only. Use on wood
surfaces will only dig into and remove substrate
material. FIGURE 5.
FIGURE 5
Straight Beveled Cutting Edge Blade.
This blade configuration is utilized to remove a wide
variety of VCT and linoleum tiles along with general
material removal from concrete and wood surfaces.
Some blades feature two cutting edges. Position the
blade edge facing up for use on concrete surfaces.
