1.2 Staff
The operator has to be instructed to the use of the machine before operating.
Non observance of the instruction manual before commissioning, adjustment or maintenance could
cause serious injury to personal or objects.
Read unexceptionally all security statements. Be sure that type plate, security symbols as
commandments, warnings, precautions and the directives are mounted / fixe to the machine.
Non observance of the directives inside this manual may cause serious injury or damage.
Always wear eye-protection, protective suit, dust-mouthguard / dust respirator and ear-protection
during the usage of the machine. The noise that appears while removing flooring can be so
intense that at long term use it may cause injury of the auditory tube. Working without appropriate
security equipment, as for instance a protective suit, can injure eyes and body. Arising airborne dust
may be inhaled when wearing no mouthguard.
Keep arms, feet and clothes away from the operating machine parts.
Moving parts of the machine can cause serious injury or damage.
1.3 Usage
Fluid under pressure is dangerous and can cause serious injury.
Leaking hydraulic fluid is not only unsightly, it's hazardous. In addition to making workplace floors slippery and
dangerous, leaks also contaminate the environment. Our system runs at or below 83 bar. Never look for a leak
when unit is under pressure. Only check and service when not under pressure.
Fluids under pressure can cause serious injury. If fluid punctures the skin, even if no pain is felt, a serious emergency
exists. Obtain medical assistance immediately. Failure to do so can result in loss of the injured part or
death.
Escape of hydraulic fluid
Pinhole: It can be almost invisible escaping from a pinhole, and it can pierce the skin into the body. Do not touch
a pressurized hydraulic hose assembly with any part of your body. Leak: Keep hoses and fittings tight. Only
check and service when not under pressure.
Never check for leaks over hose or hydraulic connections with any part of your body. Instead, use a piece of
cardboard to locate a pressurized leak. For drips (low pressure leaks), use a rag to clean the area and determine
where the leak originates.
Flammability of hydraulic fluids
With the exception of those compromised primarily of water, all hydraulic fluids are flammable when
exposed to the proper conditions (including many "fire-resistant" hydraulic fluids). Leaking pressurized
hydraulic fluids may develop a mist or fine spray that can flash or explode upon contact with a cause
of ignition. These explosions can be very severe and could result in serious injury or death.
Precautions should be taken to eliminate all ignition sources from contact with escaping fluids, sprays
or mists resulting from hydraulic failures. Sources of ignition could be electrical discharges (sparks),
open flames, extremely high temperatures, sparks caused by metal-to-metal contact.

4 SETUP
4.1 Hydraulic fluid
Keep hydraulic fluid clean and on specified definite level. Only use a ISO32 compatible light fluid.
Non-compatible fluids could cause damage to unit or serious injury.
4.1.1 Hydraulic fluid level
See figure 4.1 –A
The machine has a fluid level sight window. The fluid should be
in the middle to the top of the window when the machine is sitting
in a normal operating position without a blade. If your machine
does not have a sight window, fluid should be ca. 2,5 cm (1")
from the top of the tank.
Check fluid level if there has been a leak, damaged or ruptured
hose or a loose fitting.
Change the complete fluid once a year
.
4.1.2 Adding or changing hydraulic fluid
To add fluid, unscrew the filler port cap from top of the machine.
See figure 4.1 - B
To change fluid, remove the filler port cap. Remove drain plug
from side of machine.
See figure 4.1 - B and 4.1. C
A container approximately ca. 9 litres (two gallons) in size will be
needed to drain fluid into.
Machine has a straining system, but add fluid through a filter or
funnel with a screen to keep fluid clean.
4.2 Speed control
Speed control knob can be adjusted while the machine
is running
Turning speed control knob counter clockwise
will make the machine run faster.
Turning speed control knob clockwise
will make the machine run slower.

4.3 Blade
4.3.1 Blade Choice
Proper blade size and placement, depending on material and sub-floor type,
affects performance.
- The harder a job comes up, for best results, use a smaller blade.
- Start with a narrow blade, then increase the blade size to optimize the cutting pass.
- Narrower blades work easier than wider blades.
- Narrower blades usually clean the floor better.
- Normally bevel on blade is up for concrete. Bevel down for wood or soft sub-floors.
4.3.2 Blade Versions

Blade #104 - 25,4 x 7,6 cm, thickness 3,0 mm
carpet, tile, PVC, Vct, tough coatings, hardwood & cork

12
4.3.3 Blade Changing
Dull blades greatly reduce cutting ability. Re-sharpen or replace as
needed
Always wear gloves when changing blades. Use supplied extended
wrench to keep hand safely away from the edge of the blade.
1. Place a bock under the front of the machine.
See figure 4.3 - A
2. Loosen the five hex head bolts with the extended bolt
wrench and replace the blade.
See figure 4.3 - B
It is not necessary to remove the bolts.
Be sure that the blade is far enough under the blade-holder,
to insure a secure hold.
4.3.4 Blade Sharpening
Always wear gloves and safety glasses.
It is not necessary to remove the bolts.
1. Sharpen the blademounted to the machine.
Using hand grinder, block up front of machine
so blade is off the floor.
Sharpen the blade with a 10 cm diameter disk with
120 or finer grit.
Be careful not to catch disk on edge or corner of blade.
Blade bevel up, see figure 4.3 - C
Blade bevel down, see figure 4.3 - D
Using a good quality fine tooth hand file,
use same procedure as above, see figure 4.3 - C
2. Sharpen the blade separately at a vice.
Furthermore there is the opportunity to remove the blade
from the machine and to sharpen the blade at a vice,
obeying the same procedure as shown in "1.".

5.3 Types of tear outs
Keep blades sharp! Keep your work area clean and clear of debris.
Always wear eye- and ear- protection when working with the machine.
5.3.1 VCT - Tile
Never use a blade wider than the size of the tile being removed.
If goods being removed still do not come up clean or the machine
jumps on top of goods, reduce blade size to a smaller blade until proper
blade size is found or use a smaller portion of the blade.
See figure 5.3 - A
5.3.2 Vinyl-, Rubber, PVC, Direct Glued Carpet
Goods will need to be scored downto 10 to 12 inches for proper
removal.
Pre-scored carpet makes machine easier to control and blades stay
sharper longer. Blades up to 16" wide can be used. Normally 12" to
14" blades are used on direct glued carpet, secondary backed, unitary,
double glued, vinyl foam, urethane foam. Latex foams come
up easily with a 16" blade.
Self scoring blades can be used with some materials. A 10" blade is
recommended for this product, but determine what size blade
works best.
See figure 5.3 - B and 5.3 –C
For best results use the scoring machine "JAMAS"
5.3.3 CERAMIC (Glued with Double Duty or Mud sets):
Before removing ceramic tile, tiles will have to be pre-broke with a
mallet or large hammer. On small random block styles of tile, pre-breaking may not be
necessary.
Open an area large enough for machine or blade to fit in, or start
from a doorway.
Keep work area clean to keep good wheel contact with floor. Use
slow speed and small blades.
Blades can be offset in cutting head for easier access
to toe kicks or removal along the wall.
See figure 5.3 - D and 5.3 - E

15
5.4 Subfloor Surfaces
5.4.1 Wood and Wood like floors
Pound down or remove any nails or metal obstruction to avoid blade
damage.
Glued hard wood flooring
A 25 cm blade is recommended for regular adhesive, a 15 cm blade
for epoxy.
For proper removal of hardwoodflooring (plank solid, plank laminated,
parkay, parquetry laminated)flooring must be scored to blade width.
This is done by using a circular saw set at a depth of 99% of the
thickness of the board, just missing the subfloor surface when on concrete
A chalk line for scoring lines can be used across the floor the width of
the blade
See figure 5.4 - A and 5.4 - B
True parkay flooring scoring is not necessary.
It will come up in small pieces.
When working over plywood sub-flooring, try to run machine in the same direction
as
the grain in the wood. Blade in most cases bevel down.
On solid wood floors like plank, run in the same direction as the plank, not cross grain
or cross plank.
Removing the front counterweight will help on all soft surfaces.
5.4.2 Concrete
When working on concrete slab, normal blade position is bevel up for best performance,
especially when cleaning adhesive. On occasion, bevel down gives better
blade life.
5.4.3 Gibcrete and Soft Poured Flooring
Usually require blade level down to create a better wearing surface, although bevel
up may work if front counterweight is removed.
Beware of expansion joints and floor mounted receptacles or other obstacles
in the floor.
