Cutting:
Concrete Base:
•
Generally, on concrete based fl oors, the bevel on the blade should be facing up. (Figure
angle exaggerated).
• If removing tile from a concrete base, work diagonally on the tile surface.
•
Use only 2/3rds width of blade on each pass. Removing an excessive amount of
material could damage the equipment.
Wood Base:
•
Generally, on wooden based fl oors, the bevel on the blade should be facing down.
(Figure 5 - angle exaggerated).
• Remove material in the direction of the wood grain to minimize gouging.
NOTE: Some gouging is unavoidable and will occur.
• Use only 2/3rds width of blade on each pass. Removing an excessive amount of
material could damage the equipment.
• Unplug machine from power source. Lock the center weight in the rear
position. Use the appropriate tools & techniques to remove the blade to
minimize the chance of the wrench slipping. Tilt machine back to rest in a
stable position to access hardware on bottom of striker plate (Figure 6).
• Loosen but do not remove the bolts shown in (Figure 6) from the bottom
side of the striker plate.
• Inspect the new EDCO blade and observe blade angle as in (Figures 4 & 5)
above.
• Carefully slide the old blade out and replace with the new EDCO blade or
rotate blade if changing surfaces. Tighten bolts. Observe blade angle as in
(Figures 4 & 5) above.
• Be sure the blade is secure before plugging the TS-14 back
into the power source.
