USER INSTRUCTIONS 2023-07
Choice of blade
Using the correct blade size and style for various floor coverings and sub-
floors will provide the best performance of your machine.
The principles described are to help operators choose the best type of blade
for each job. There is not a "one size fits all" option with blade choice.
Blade size
For harder jobs it is better to use narrow blades,
for easy jobs you can select wider blades.
Narrow blades can increase production on tough jobs as the machine will
have less resistance and faster travel speed compared to using a wider
blade and will allow for longer run time and a cleaner subfloor. Start with a
narrow blade, switch to a wider blade if the material is coming up easily.
Blade bevel
Bevel up blade is
for hard
substrate like
concrete.
Self-scoring
blades When using self-scoring blades for soft floors, pre-scroring the flooring
material is unnecessary. Depending on the type of flooring to be removed and
the sharpness of the blade, it will be more difficult to control the machine.
Keep the blade and the side wings/edges sharp.
Insert / replace blade
Dull blades reduce the capacity and cutting performance of the
machine. Sharpen or replace the blades on a regular basis as
needed.
Remove the power plug
CAUTION ! Even "dull blades" can cut you. Wear protective
gloves
Use supplied extended wrench to keep hand safely away from
the edge of the blade. When installing or removing blade
NEVER use a short wrench that puts hand in-line with the
blade or push toward the cutting edge.

4 SETUP
4.2 The ES1300 has 2 blade adjustments. One for the height of the slide
plate assembly off of the floor, and a second for the angle of the
blade. In general, a low to medium angle will work best for
removing materials such as glued down carpet, VCT and ceramic
tile. A high angle is better suited for re-scraping adhesive and
removing thin coatings. The two large bolts on the back of the slide
plate assembly hold the slide plate at the desired height. Use the
36mm socket on the included wrench to loosen the bolts and then
raise or lower the slide plate as desired. Typically it is best to use a
high slide plate for a high blade angle and a low slide plate for a low
blade angle. The blade angle is adjusted with the control lever on the
low right hand side of the machine.
Low Blade Angle Medium Blade Angle High Blade Angle
When choosing a blade it is best to match the size of the blade to the holder. A large blade extending past the
sides of the holder will be unsupported, and less effective at cleaning the floor. A small blade in a large holder
can allow material to catch on the edges of the holder. For the best performance and efficiency match the size
of the blade with the holder

Weights Use caution when handling weights. It is possible to
pinch or crush fingers as well as drop heavy parts onto your feet.
Wear gloves and safety shoes to help protect from injury.
Removing Weights
Depending on your application it may be necessary to remove weight from the
machine. Some common reasons to remove weight include: weight restriction for
elevator or lift gate, soft sub-floor that requires less pressure on the cutting edge,
restricted point load for elevated working surfaces. You will need a couple of tools
to remove the weights on the ES1300. Including a 36mm socket or wrench, 3/4"
socket or wrench and possibly a soft hammer or mallet.
Removing the side weights:
1. Use a 36mm wrench or socket to remove the
weight bolt. This bolt threads into a pin that holds
the weights in place. The weights will not slide off
the machine after the bolt is removed
2. Lift the weights off the pin and set them aside
3. Re-install the weight bolt so that it does not get
misplaced
Installing the side weights:
1. Remove the weight bolt if installed
2. Line up the corresponding mounting hole in
the weight and set onto the pin. The front of the
weights should line up as shown in the image.
3. Re-install the weight bolt
Removing the bottom weights:
1. Use a 17mm socket or wrench to remove both
bolts as shown from the bottom of the machine
2. Use a soft hammer or mallet if necessary to move
the top weight in the stack out of the machine.
3. Repeat for each additional weight.
4. Install the weight bolts when finished to keep
them from being misplaced
Installing the bottom weights:
1. Remove the weight bolt if necessary
2. Install the weight plates. WARNING fingers can be
pinched between the handle of the weight and the
machine or other installed weights
3. line up the weight stack so it is flush with tray on both
sides, use a soft hammer or mallet if necessary

5 OPPERATION
VCT Tiles
Keep blades sharp! Keep your work area clean and clear of debris.
Always wear eye protection when working with the machine.
Never use a blade wider than the size of the tile being removed. If
material being removed will not come up clean or the machine jumps
out of the work continuously, reduce blade size to a smaller blade until
proper blade size is found or use a smaller portion of the blade.
Vinyl-, Rubber, PVC, Direct Glued Carpet
Before starting the machine, cut the flooring into strips approximately
the same width as the blade. Then use the machine to take up the strips.
Pre-scoreing carpet / sheet goods makes removed material easier to
handle and extends the runtime of the machine. For best results use a
stand-up scoring tool
If removing soft flooring with a strong bond, the self-scoring blade can
also be used. Cut ditches into the floor then demo perpendicular to the
ditch to make strips that are easy to handle. Keep debris cleaned off the
floor and out from under the machine. This will reduce the chance of
carpet scrap getting wrapped around the wheels and tangling with the
machine.
Ceramic and other types of floor tiles
Everyone in the area must be wearing safety glasses before removing
tile. Use a durable sheet material such as hard board to protect delicate
wall surfaces like glass or finished wood. Using a hammer and chisel or
electric demo hammer, remove a tile in a clear area of the work space to
open up the floor. Beginning at a doorway with an open edge is another
way to start removing tile, but can be more difficult to maneuver then
opening a space in the middle of the room. Use a small heavy blade or
preferably a carbide shank at a low angle to remove tile. Avoid
removing tile at a high angle as this is less efficient, and will shorten the
life of your tooling. Open a line of tile across the room and then work
perpendicular to that line in short passes along the line. Keep debris
cleaned out from under the machine. Use a stiff broom to push debris
out of the way. Debris is more easily pushed on the floor not yet
removed. It is best to stop and clean the floor regularly rather creating a
large volume of debris and working on top of the mess. Use a water
sprayer to mist debris before pushing to reduce dust. After removing
the tile use a water sprayer to mist any remaining thin-set or mortar
until it has the consistency of damp sand then re-scrape at a high angle
with a sharp carbide. DO NOT over-water the floor. Too much water
will create a slippery mess.

5 OPERATION
5.4
Battery System
Summary:
The ES1300 uses a 48V Lithium Battery. For charging and battery
information refer to the attached manufacturers manual. The battery is
installed under the hood on the back of the machine. The blue plug on the
battery functions as an emergency disconnect and the charging point for
the battery. The machine is equipped with a state of charge display and a
low voltage interrupt "L.V.I."
Low Voltage Interrupt:
The L.V.I. will turn off the machine if the battery is in danger of
being over discharged. The machine will alert the operator with
an audible beep when the cut off voltage is near. Once the cut off voltage
is reached the machine will shut off. The operator can
override the L.V.I. by holding the key switch in the start position
to move the machine to a charging location or out of a
dangerous position such as a ramp or lift gate. The operator should NOT
use the L.V.I override to continue removing flooring.
State of Charge Display:
The S.O.C. display shows the percentage of charge in the battery as well as
voltage, amp draw, and an instantaneous run time estimate. The S.O.C.
MUST be reset to 100% when a fully charged battery is installed. To reset
the S.O.C. press and hold the up arrow on the SOC until the "%" shows
100. The display will immediately drop to 99% after reset.
If a battery is partially charged the battery percentage on the S.O.C. WILL
NOT BE CORRECT. The voltage will always be correct. Once the voltage
at idle is showing 44 VDC the battery is depleted and continued use will
activate the L.V.I.
The estimated runtime will fluctuate based on current amp draw of the
machine. While the machine is idling the runtime will show a high
number i.e. "4 Hours" under a heavy load the runtime will drop to low
number i.e. " 1 Hour" The median of the high and low runtime number
will be an approx runtime to expect. For additional information on the
S.O.C. display refer to the enclosed Linex Manual
How to Improve Runtime:
•Keep the blade sharp. A dull blade is harder to push than a sharp blade.
•Use a low blade angle and properly adjusted slide plate when removing
material. A high angle makes the machine work harder.
•Avoid turning the machine from a dead stop with the blade on the
floor. Lift the blade when moving from one work area to another
•Turn the machine off when waiting for helpers to clear debris.
•On difficult jobs; especially heavly glued carpet, use a smaller blade.
The machine will run longer and faster with a lower amp draw.
