1.4 Electric Motors
All portable electric appliances are dangerous if abused. This machine will only operate on
one voltage. Check the power supply to ensure it corresponds to the voltage as stamped on
the motor. Make sure that the motor is switched OFF before you plug it into the power supply.
When using a portable transformer it must have a minimum output of 3.3kw and be
continuously rated. The symbols on the ON/OFF switch are 0=OFF and I=ON in accordance
with international standards.
1.5 Plugs
The following plug types are supplied/fitted to the product: 15 amp rated 120 volt plug type.
GREEN / YELLOW = GROUND, BLUE = NEUTRAL, BROWN = LIVE
The wire which is colored Green and Yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug
marked E or colored Green and Yellow. The wire which is colored Brown must be connected
to the terminal in the plug marked L or colored Red. The wire which is colored Blue must be
connected to the terminal in the plug marked N or colored Black. Always ensure before
connecting to the supply that the supply voltage is the same as the rated voltage marked on
the motor
1.6 Extension Cables
If you need to use an extension cable it must be no longer than 25 metres (82 feet) in length.
The wire section must be 2.5mm2 on 240v and 2.5mm2 on 120v. Ensure that the extension
cable is carefully laid out avoiding liquids, sharp edges and places where vehicles might run
over it. Avoid allowing the extension cable to be trapped underneath the equipment. Unroll
it fully or it will overheat and could catch fire. Make sure that any extension cable
connections are dry and safe.
1.7 NVR - No Volt Release
The motors which are fitted to the machine are fitted with a NVR (No Volt Release) Switch.
This mean that if the power fails, the motor will not automatically restart when the power is
restored. The machine will need to be manually restarted.

supply. Always ensure that the cable between the 120v machine and
transformer is a minimum length of 10. Ensure cable is fitted with cable clip
to the operating handle at all times.
WARNING
THIS PRODUCT MUST BE GROUNDED

3. BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE
3.1 Inspect the work surface for cracks, uneven joints and foreign objects such as nails,
screws and pipes. If the unit is used on said surfaces, damage to the blade and/or equipment
may result, which can also cause serious injury to the operator. Hazardous areas should be
properly identified, clearly marked and avoided.
3.2 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 either cord is frayed or showing wear.
3.2.1 Inspect the blade carefully before installing. The blade must be sharp and properly
installed (See page 6).
3.2.2 Use only genuine blades. DO NOT use any questionable blades, as serious personal
injury and/or damage to property can result.
3.3 Adjust the angle of the cut for the conditions of the job at hand (See page 6 for
suggestions). If you need to make a test cut, do it in an inconspicuous area.
3.4 When operating on carpet and sheet floors, pre-cut the material in a strip as wide as the
blade.
NOTE: A special blade is required for ceramic tile removal.
4. STARTING THE MACHINE
4.1 Operation
4.1.1 Make sure the machine is clear of walls and/or obstructions.
4.1.2 Tilt it back slightly to shi the weight onto the wheels.
4.1.3 Plug in the machine.
4.1.4 Turn the switch to ON.
10
BLADE IS EXTREMELY SHARP!
Wear heavy duty work gloves when changing the blades and handle with care.
WARNING
Do not force the machine.
Shut OFF the machine before repositioning the scraper for another pass.
WARNING

11
5. STORAGE
The scraper should be stored on level ground. Be sure to secure the scraper as necessary to
avoid it from falling down.
6. APPLICATIONS
6.1 Blade Angles
The Tomahawk Floor Scraper is equipped with an adjustable handle that provides 3 different
positions.
Use the steep blade angle for removal of vinyl, linoleum, VCT, and carpet.
Use lower blade angles for more aggressive surfaces, such as hardwood floor removal.
6.2 Operation on Concete Floors
For concrete floors, the bevel (sloped edge) of the blade
should face upwards at a fairly steep angle.
If the blade “jumps up” from the floor surface, the angle
may be too shallow.
When removing concrete-based floors, work diagonally on
the tile surface.
Use only ⅔ rds of the width of the entire blade for each
pass. Removing too much of the material at one time will
damage the equipment.
6.3 Operation on Wooden Floors
On wooden based floors, the bevel (sloped edge) of the
blade should be facing downwards at a flatter angle. If the
angle is too steep, the floor base material can be damaged.
Remove material in the direction of the wood grain to
minimize gouging.
NOTE: Some gouging is unavoidable and will occur.
Use only ⅔ rds of the width of the entire blade for each
pass. Removing too much of the material at one time will
damage the equipment.

7. DUST AND CRYSTALLINE SILICA WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials can generate dust,
mists and fumes containing chemicals known to cause serious or fatal injury or illness, such
as respiratory disease, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. If you are unfamiliar
with the risks associated with the particular process and/or material being cut or the
composition of the tool being used, review the material safety data sheets and/or consult
your employer, the manufacturers/suppliers, governmental agencies such as OSHA and
NIOSH and other sources on hazardous materials. California and some other authorities, for
instance, have published lists of substances known to cause cancer, reproductive toxicity, or
other harmful effects.
Control dust, mist and fumes at the source where possible. In this regard use good work
practices and follow the recommendations of the manufacturers/suppliers, OSHA/NIOSH,
and occupa�tional and trade associations. Water should be used for dust suppression when
wet grinding/ cutting/drilling is feasible. When the hazards from inhalation of dust, mists
and fumes cannot be eliminated, the operator and any bystanders should always wear a
respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA for the material being used.
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete and other materials with silica in their
composition may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic
component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks.
Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or
fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In addition, California and some other
authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer.
When grinding/cutting/drilling such materials, always follow the respiratory precautions
mentioned above.
See more on the importance of dust prevention and silica warnings at osha.gov/silica.
