About the TS-14:
• The TS-14 is a low maintenance unit, designed to remove coverings on dry fl oors. Examples are carpets, tiles,
parquet, vinyl, coatings or paint. (Note: for some ceramic tile the blade retainer has to be removed and a special
blade kit is installed). The TS-14 may be used on concrete and/or wood surfaces and operates on standard
household current. Do not use the TS-14 for any purpose other than that for which it was designed. Do not
modify the machine.
Before Starting:
• Inspect the work surface for cracks, uneven joints and foreign objects such as nails, screws and pipes. Damage
to the blade and/or equipment may result, which can also cause serious injury to the operator. Hazardous areas
should be properly identifi ed, clearly marked and avoided.
• Be sure the power switch is in the OFF position. Inspect the power and extension cords before plugging into the
power source. Do not use if cord is frayed or showing wear.
Inspect the blade carefully before installing. Blade must be sharp and properly installed. (See page 6) Use
only genuine EDCO blades. Do not use any questionable blade since serious personal injury and/or dam-
age to property can result. NOTE: BLADE IS EXTREMELY SHARP! Wear heavy duty work gloves when
changing or handling the blades and handle with care.
• If you need to make a test cut, do it in an inconspicuous area.
• On carpet and sheet fl oors, pre-cut the material to be removed in a strip as wide as the blade.
• NOTE: A special insert is required for ceramic tile removal.
