QUALITY ASSURANCE/ MACHINE BREAK IN
The Contec Floor Stripper is the product of extensive engineering development designed
to give long life and unmatched performance. The Floor Strippers are shipped completely
assembled.
You can help ensure that your Floor Stripper will perform at top levels by observing a
simple routing on first use. Consider that your new Floor Stripper is like a new car. Just as you
would break in a new car to the road or any new machine to the job, you should start gradually
and build up to full use. Learn what your machine can do and how it will respond. Full throttle
and control may be used after this time period, as allowed by material. This will serve to further
break in the machine on your specific application, as well as provide you with additional
practice using the machine.
We thank you for the confidence you have placed in us by purchasing a Contec Floor
Stripper and wish you many years of satisfied use.

ROUTINE SERVICE INTERVALS
Due to the nature and environment of use, Floor Strippers could be exposed to severe
operating conditions. Some general maintenance guidelines will extend the useful life of your
machine.
• The initial service for your floor stripper should be performed after 25 hours of use, at which
time your mechanic (or authorized repair shop) should complete all the recommended checks
in the schedule above. The maintenance log is handy for keeping a record of the maintenance
performed and the parts used for servicing your grinder.
• Regular service according to the schedule above will prolong the life of the floor stripper and
prevent expensive repairs.
• Keeping your floor stripper clean and free from debris is the single most important regular
maintenance operation, over and above the checks in the service schedule above, that can be
performed. After each use your floor stripper should be cleaned to remove any dust and debris
from the undercarriage and surrounding components.
• In the Service Schedule above, items that should be checked, replaced or adjusted are
indicated by “o” in the appropriate column. For ease of recording place, a checkmark through
the “o” when the item is complete. If an item is not required or not completed place an “x”
through the “o” in the box.
• Failure to have your floor stripper regularly serviced and properly maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions will lead to premature failure and void the warranty.

OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The BULL floor strippers are constructed according to existing safety rules and
regulations. These technical precautions should not be removed or changed under any
circumstances. While operating the machines the following points should also be kept in mind:
The instructions provided in this manual are done so to ensure the operator’s safety as well
as that of others, the equipment, and the job site. Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to
serious personal injury and even death. The operator and any service personnel should read
and understand the entire manual before working with or servicing any Contec Floor Stripper.
•The floor stripper BULL should always be operated with all safety covers and technical
precautions.
•During transport, cleaning, repair or maintenance the floor stripper must be disconnected
from the power supply. This also applies to the changing of tools.
•Always remove the tool before transporting the machine.
•Only use tools delivered by CONTEC®.
•The operator should never leave the machine unattended during operation.
•Before leaving the machine, all rotary parts should be brought to a standstill. The floor
stripper must be disconnected from the power supply. Make sure that the machine
cannot roll or move by itself.
•The BULL should be switched off immediately if unusual noises or vibrations are
detected during the operating of the machinery. A thorough check must be carried out in
order to detect the cause.
•After any maintenance and adjustment all safety covers must be reattached.
•Ear protectors must be worn.
•Eye protectors must be worn.
•Safety shoes with steel caps must be worn.
•In the event of a large amount of dust during operation, connect a dust collector to the
grinder.
•Depending on the type of floor (floor coating) stripping can produce gases/dust. The
operator must be held responsible if these generated gases/dusts are dangerous and if
protection is necessary. Stripping floors containing asbestos is especially dangerous and
can cause health problems. Special masks must be worn which keep the breathing air
clean. A dust collector must be used and should be equipped with filters suitable for
asbestos dust.
The floor must be swept before stripping. Anchor screws and bolts coming out of the floor can
be better seen if the floor is clean. If the stripping tool strikes an anchor screw or bolt, then
serious damage can be caused to the machine or grinding head.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
SETTING UP YOUR BULL FLOOR STRIPPER
Your BULL Floor Stripper comes fully assembled with handle and motor fully installed.
The handle is in the lowest position to allow for easier transportation. The handle can be
adjusted to suit the operator by loosening the 2 screws at the base of the handle and
retightening to set position. Tooling can now be installed, and your Floor stripper is ready for
use.
PRIOR TO OPERATION
•Make sure that all dust, debris etc., are thoroughly removed from the unit prior to
operation. Special effort should be given to the bottom of the machine where the tooling
is located, as well as the drive wheels and motor.
•Check all bolts and screws for tightness and make sure all bolts and screws are securely
tightened. Loose bolts and screws may cause damage to the unit. Make sure tooling is
properly installed.
CHANGING OR INSTALLING TOOLING
•Lock the centre weights into position 1 (See below “Adjusting the Weights”)
•Tip the machine until it rests in a stable position
•Clean and loosen the bolts of the blade mounting
•Replace the blade.
•Make sure that the blade fits exactly into the support. On normal and hard subfloors, the
bevel of the blade should show upwards (B). On soft subfloors the bevel should show
downwards (A).
Figure 1: Blade orientation
•Tighten the bolts of the blade mounting again
ATTENTION: Before working on the floor stripper bring the motor to a total stand still
and disconnect from the power supply.
CAUTION: Tooling is sharp, set wrench in position opposite to blade to avoid injury

OIPB –C15002
ADJUSTING THE WEIGHTS
The two centre weights can be locked in three different positions. The locking bolt is situated on
the right-hand side outside the weight. The bolt must be pulled out before changing the
position.
Pos. 1: the weight is mostly on the rear traction wheels. The wheels will have increased traction
and drive is increased.
Pos. 2: The weight is in the middle position and creates an option to transport machine with a
crane.
Pos. 3: The weight is mostly on the tool. The tools will be less likely to jump up and slide on top
of the material trying to be removed.

OPERATION
Operating
The Bull-Stripper removes any bonded floor covering by using a vibrating knife. The knife is
driven by an electric motor.
The drive unit is powered by a separate motor.
The blade drive starts as soon as the machine is switched on and can easily be switched off by
pressing the emergency stop switch or the red OFF switch. The drive unit motor starts by
pressing the safety switch on the handle bar. If the handle bar is pushed forward the drive unit
starts to work, and the machine starts to move. The drive can be locked in the moving position
by stepping on the foot lever at the bottom of the handle bar.
The Bull-Stripper is equipped with a power-on indicator lamp. If the lamp does not indicate
power-on, use another power socket or check power supply.
If a supply power failure occurs during operation, switch the machine on again.
Preparations (Carpets, Coverings)
Before starting work, cut the floor covering into strips of about 35 cm (12 inch). You cannot
work faster if you cut wider strips.
To begin, cut one strip crosswise. Then lift the floor covering slightly in order to get the blade
underneath it. We recommend that you cut the first strip at right angles to the main working
direction. By so doing access to the adjacent strips is made easier.
Cut the strips smaller if the floor covering is bonded very securely, e.g. with an epoxy adhesive.
The blades are sharpened by the floor pavement. Therefore, the blade only has to be changed
if it is twisted, rounded or becomes worn.
The driving wheels are subject to wear. They have to be changed when necessary.
