SILICA DUST WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal 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, Califor-
nia and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause
cancer. When cutting such materials, always follow respiratory precautions.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 MESSAGE
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities con-
tain chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead, from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica, from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber
For further information, consult the following sources:
http://www.osha.gov/dsg/topics/silicacrystalline/index.html
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/96-112/
http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/law/P65law72003.html
http://www.dir.ca.gov/Title8/sub4.html
Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic particles.

SAFETY
In order to prevent potential electrical shock and injury, the following electrical safety precautions and
symbols should be followed at all times!
In case of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric cur-
rent to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
UFS50 FLOOR SCRAPER
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
•Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not t the outlet; have the proper outlet installed by a
qualied electrician.
•Improper connections of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The equipment-grounding conductor is the insulated conductor that has an outer surface
that is green, with or without yellow stripes. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
•Check with a qualied electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that
accept the tool’s plug.
•Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
WARNING
This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one shown in Sketch A of
Figure 1. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A of Figure 1. A
temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to con-
nect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B, if a properly grounded outlet is not avail-
able. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by
a qualied electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter, must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
NOTE: Use of a temporary adapter is not permitted in Canada.

BLADE INSTALLATION
UFS50 FLOOR SCRAPER
BLADE CHANGING / INSTALLATION
Blades are sharp. Handle with care. Failure to do so could cause bodily injury.
CAUTION
• Dull blades greatly reduce cutting ability. Re-sharpen or replace as needed.
• Proper blade size and placement per job type greatly affects performance.
• Disconnect electrical power rst.
• Do not lean machine back onto handle.
• Always wear gloves when changing blades to protect ngers and hands.
(A)
Place a block under the
front of the machine, rais-
ing the blade holder
(B)
Loosen the two blade
cover bolts
(C)
Replace blade and tighten
bolts
1. Place a block under the front of the machine, raising the blade holder as shown in Figure A.
2. Loosen the two blade cover bolts as shown in Figure B. It is not necessary to remove the bolts.
3. Place the blade into the cutting head, sliding the blade all the way back to the bolts as shown in
Figure C. If the blade is wider than the cutting head, center the blade to the head. If the blade
is smaller than the cutting head, for the rst pass the blade should be mounted in center of the
cutting head. After the rst pass is made, blade can be offset in head to allow wheels to keep
even contact with the oor and allow easy access to the wall. Blades of longer width can be
mounted in either holes or slots or put in front of blade cover bolts.
4. Securely tighten bolts.

UFS50 FLOOR SCRAPER GENERAL OPERATION
Do not operate machine around excessive moisture areas, such as abatement work and ooded pool
areas without GFCI wall plug. Failure to do so could cause damage in machine or injury to operator.
Before using the machine, check for any broken, worn or damage parts and replace them immediately.
WARNING
Adjusting the wheel angle will change the blade angle to the oor. Adjustments may be required for
your particular application. Experiment with the angle to see what works the best.
WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment by trial at the beginning of a job will allow optimum performance. See Blade
Usage page 15.
(A)
A steep wheel angle is
recommended on hard
removals such as vinyl, VCT
and carpet over concrete or
wood
(D)
Rotate the angle adjust-
ment wheel to the desired
blade angle
(B)
A low wheel angle is recom-
mended for hardwood
removal over all oors
NOTE:

14
AFTER THE PROPER WHEEL ADJUSTMENT IS ACHIEVED, ADJUST THE HANDLE LENGTH
(A)
The handle should be adjusted to
the "belt-line" of the operator or to
an otherwise comfortable position
Simply loosen the thumbscrews located on the frame and the handle will slide up and down. Locate
the most comfortable height and tighten the thumbscrews to lock the handle in place.
UFS50 FLOOR SCRAPER
HANDLE ADJUSTMENT
GENERAL OPERATION
TRANSPORTATION
Always remove the counterweight and blades before loading or unloading.
Machine breaks down for easy transportation. Handle and/or wheel angle can by lowered to reduce
overall height.
Keep hands and feet out from underneath the machine.
WARNING
(B)
Lower handle by loosening
tri-knob. Push handle down.
(C)
Turn bolt and remove nose
weight if you need to lift the unit.
(A)
A kick plate on the back of the chassis
provides additional help when moving the
machine. Simply step downward on the kick
plate and raise the front. Adjust the angle so
the weight of the head is over the wheels.

15
BLADE USAGE
1. Start with a narrow blade, then increase blade size to optimize cutting pass. Narrower blades
work easier than wider blades and usually clean the oor better. Wider is not always better or
faster.
2. Proper blade size and placement, depending on material and sub-oor type, greatly affects
performance.
3. Keep in mind, narrow width blades will make a cleaner oor surface.
4. For wood or wood like oors, pound down or remove any nails or metal obstruction to avoid
blade damage.
5. When working over plywood sub-oor, try to work in the direction of the wood grain.
6. A new sharp blade being used on wood or alike sub oors may work better when slightly
dulled to avoid digging or gouging.
7. When working over concrete, beware of expansion joints and sub-oor mounted receptacles.
8. Keep your work area clean and clear of debris.
9. After you have removed a portion of material, remove it out of the way. This will give the
machine maximum performance and help to keep the work area safe.
10. Dull blades greatly reduce cutting ability. Re-sharpen or replace as needed.
11. Use Sawtec®replacement blades.

TYPES OF TEAROUTS
UFS50 FLOOR SCRAPER
REMOVAL MATERIALS
Never remove ooring containing asbestos without fully understanding proper
state and federal procedures and guidelines.
WARNING
•VCT TILE: If tiles being removed still do not come up clean or machine jumps on top of tiles,
reduce blade size to a smaller blade until proper blade size is found or use a smaller portion of
the blade. Never use a blade wider than the size of the tile being removed.
•PURE VINYL RUBBER TILE: Self scoring blades can be used with some materials. A 10" blade
is recommended for this product, but determine what size blade works best. Goods will need to
be scored down to 10 to 12 inches for proper removal.
•DIRECT GLUED CARPET: Pre-scored carpet makes machine easier to control and blades stay
sharper longer. Pre-score carpet to blade width prior to stripping. Normally 12" to 14" blades are
used on direct glued carpet, secondary backed, unitary, double glued, vinyl foam, urethane foam.
• Sheet vinyl, solid vinyl, rubber tile, urethane or PVC sheet roong, will need to be scored for best
removal results.

17
UFS50 FLOOR SCRAPER TYPES OF TEAROUTS
BEVEL UP
CONCRETE FLOORS
BEVEL DOWN
WOOD FLOORS
SUBFLOOR SURFACES
•WOOD: When working over plywood sub-ooring, try to run machine in the same direction as the
grain in the wood. Blade in most cases should be bevel down. On solid wood oors, like plank, run
in the same direction as the plank, not cross grain or cross plank. Removing the
front counter weight will help on all soft surfaces.
•CONCRETE: When working on a concrete slab, normal blade position is bevel up for best
performance, especially when cleaning adhesive. On occasion, bevel down gives better blade life.
Test each job for best performance.
•GIBCRETE AND SOFT POURED FLOORING: Usually requires blade bevel down to create a
better wearing surface, although bevel up may work if front counter weight is removed.
Beware of expansion joints and oor mounted receptacles or other obstacles
in the oor.
CAUTION
•GLUED HARD WOOD FLOORING: A 10" blade is recommended for regular adhesive, a 6" - 7"
blade for epoxy. For proper removal of hardwood ooring (parkay laminated, plank laminated,
plank solid) ooring must be scored to blade width. A ripping guide attached to the saw can be
used to eliminate chalk line marks. Open an area large enough to t machine or start from a
doorway. It is important to keep all debris cleaned up for maximum performance of machine. True
Parkay ooring scoring is not necessary. It will come up in small pieces.
Never remove ooring containing asbestos without
fully understanding proper state and federal proce-
dures and guidelines for removal of these products.
Laws are different from state to state.
WARNING
(A)
Scoring is done by using a circular saw
set at a depth of 99% of the thickness of
the board, just missing the suboor sur-
face when on concrete. A chalk line for
scoring lines can be used across the
oor the width of the blade.
Normally the bevel on the blade is up for concrete; bevel down for wood or soft sub-oors. NOTE:

ful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner,
paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia.
Never use ammable or combustible solvents around tools. Machine is pressure washable. Make
sure machine is dry before operation.
Interruption of motor operation caused by the thermal switch indicates the existence of improper or insuf-
cient power to your electric motor. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR POWER SOURCE!
NOTICE
Thermal Overload Switch
The Thermal Overload manual reset switch is located on the bottom of the connection box of the elec-
trical motor. If an extreme internal temperature is sensed, the switch will “trip” and the motor will shut
off automatically. If this occurs, turn the motor “ON/OFF” switch to the “OFF” position and allow the
motor to cool for at least ten minutes before restarting. Push the “reset” button (using minimal force)
and resume operations.
