5) Wear proper safety apparel and equipment. Use the
T-handled Allen wrench to loosen the button head cap
screws which secure the fence plate to the exciter
plate. This will allow the blade to slide in between the
fence plate and the exciter plate. IT IS NOT
NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE FENCE PLATE
FROM THE EXCITER PLATE. The fence plate has
an integral stop which the edge of the blade thrusts
up against. FIGURE 12. Blades are provided with a
covering that protects the cutting edge. Do not remove
the protective covering until you are ready to operate
the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. Exercise extreme
caution when removing and/or reinstalling the
protective cover.
FIGURE 12
6) Two attachment configurations for blades are
utilized. Narrow (less than 6 inches (152 mm) wide)
blades are positioned between the two button head
capscrews and thrust up against the fence plate stop.
FIGURE 13. Use the T-handled Allen wrench to
tighten the button head screws. Wider (greater than 6
inches (152 mm) wide) blades incorporate a slotted
design which slides around the button head
capscrews. The slots afford increased clamping
pressure for the wider blades during the covering
removal process. SLOTS ALSO MAKE IT
UNNECESSARY TO REMOVE THE FENCE PLATE
FROM THE EXCITER PLATE. Use the T-handled
Allen wrench to tighten the button head capscrews.
FIGURE 13. If the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER is
to be utilized immediately, remove the protective cover
from the blade. If the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER
is not be utilized immediately, do not remove the
protective covering from the blade.

7) The installation of the ceramic tile ripper attachment
is similar to that of a blade with the exception that the
fence plate is removed the exciter plate. The ceramic
tile ripper attachment fastens directly to the exciter
plate. Follow the same tightening procedure as with a
blade. FIGURE 14.
FIGURE 14
CAUTION
For all blades and the ceramic tile ripper
attachment, tighten the button head capscrews
with the T-handled Allen wrench provided. Do not
utilize another wrench type and/or configuration.
The T-handled Allen wrench was chosen to place
body parts a practical distance from the blade
during the fastener tightening and loosening
process. Do not apply excessive impact force to
the button head capscrews. Ample seating torque
can be applied by the T-handled Allen wrench and
normal arm strength levels. Excessive impact
force can cause the T- handled Allen wrench to
slip out of the button head capscrew, resulting in
property damage and/or personal injury.
