SFCS-16 OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL REV #3 (02/23/06) PAGE 6
The concept of electrically powered, walk-behind type floor covering removal equipment has been
successfully utilized for many years as a practical solution to many types of floor covering removal
requirements. The basic concept is proven and well accepted within the associated marketplaces. Use of
a FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER requires strenuous work activity. This type of work activity can be
considered to be greater in magnitude than that experienced with the use of many other types of both
light construction and lawn and garden related equipment. This type of work activity should only be
attempted by operators of adequate physical size and stature, mental awareness and physical strength
and condition. The body parts most noticeably affected during the covering removal process are the
arms, hands, wrists, shoulders, lower back and legs. The process can also produce excessive
stress/strain directly to the back muscles, spinal vertebrae and many other body parts. Back and wrist
related pain can be side effects of utilizing a FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. A potential operator with a
chronic back related problem or a history of back and/or other medically related problems should not
attempt to utilize the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. Use of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER may only
aggravate this and any other medically related problem. Because of the diverse type of prevailing job
applications, job site conditions, operator experience levels and operator physical characteristics, no
warranty, guarantee, representation and/or liability is made by the manufacturer as to the absolute
correctness or sufficiency of any operational procedure, operational position and/or technique. There is
no absolute guarantee that an operator of any given experience level, physical size and/or physical
condition will be immune to the possibility of and/or probable physical side effects of the normal use of
the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER. Each potential operator must be made aware of and assume the
operational and physical liability described and/or associated with the use of the FLOOR COVERING
SCRAPER. Improper use of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER can result in property damage and/or
personal injury, including death. Each potential operator not willing to assume the operational and
physical liability described and/or associated with the use of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER, should
not operate it. Proper levels of operator experience, skill and common sense are essential for maximizing
the safe and efficient operation of the FLOOR COVERING SCRAPER.
