MK-VTS/50 FLOOR SCRAPER BLADE INSTALLATION
BLADE CHANGING / INSTALLATION
Blades are sharp. Handle with care. Failure to do so could cause bodily injury. CAUTION
• Dull blades greatly reduce cutting ability. Re-sharpen or replace as needed.
• Proper blade size and placement per job type greatly affects performance.
• Disconnect electrical power first.
• Do not lean machine back onto handle.
• Always wear gloves when changing blades to protect fingers and hands.
(A)
Place a block under the
front of the machine, rais-
ing the blade holder
(B)
Loosen the two blade
cover bolts
(C)
Replace blade and tighten
bolts
1. Place a block under the front of the machine, raising the blade holder as shown in Figure A.
2. Loosen the two blade cover bolts as shown in Figure B. It is not necessary to remove the bolts.
3. Place the blade into the cutting head, sliding the blade all the way back to the bolts as shown in
Figure C. If the blade is wider than the cutting head, center the blade to the head. If the blade
is smaller than the cutting head, for the first pass the blade should be mounted in center of the
cutting head. After the first pass is made, blade can be offset in head to allow wheels to keep
even contact with the floor and allow easy access to the wall. Blades of longer width can be
mounted in either holes or slots or put in front of blade cover bolts.
4. Securely tighten bolts.
