3.0 Safety instructions
Disconnect the power supply before any maintenance is carried
out. Use only recommended blades and ensure it is sharp before
starting.
Maintenance should be undertaken only by qualified personnel.
Use only genuine Wolff spare parts.
Transport
To avoid harm or danger, always remove the blade before
transporting the machine.
Disconnect the power supply and the plug (2) of the clutch before
removing the handle. Otherwise you might damage the hydraulics
of the clutch.
Mount the steel plate (1) instead of the clutch (2) and fasten it
with thumb screw (4).
Turn thumb screw (3) clockwise until the transport wheels are
blocked. Thus the machine cannot move by itself.
Never transport the machine without the wheels blocked.
Using this machine without ear protectors may jeopardize or
harm your health. It may harm especially your ears and increase
the risk of an accident.
The user and any person not far off should always use ear
protectors!

3.1 Introduction
This operating manual should be used to get the most benefit
from your Turbo-Stripper.
Following these instructions will both extend the life of your
machine and reduce repair costs. Please ensure any user of the
machine is fully familiar with the instructions for use before
allowing work to start.
3.2 Danger while working with the machine
The Turbo-Stripper is designed to the highest technical
standards. Incorrect use can be dangerous!
Disturbances that could impair safety, have to be eliminated at
once.
3.3 Restriction of use
The Turbo-Stripper is exclusively for removing bonded floor
coverings in dry environments.
It should not be used for any other purpose. Wolff cannot be
held responsible for any damage or loss caused by incorrect
use.
3.4 Genuine Spare Parts
Spare parts and accessories are manufactured uniquely for the
Turbo- Stripper. It must be emphasized that parts obtained from
unauthorized sources must not be used.
Wolff cannot be held responsible for the performance of or any
damage arising from the use of machines in which genuine
spare parts have not been used.
This is particularly important with replacement blades.
3.5 Low-voltage protection
The Turbo-Stripper is equipped with a low-voltage protection
switch. The power supply breaks if current fluctuation or mains
power failures occur, thus preventing serious perilous accidents.
Due to the restart protection, the machine will not restart after a
power failure, even if the operation switch has not been
switched off.
For using the protective cut-out switch see also item 5.0
Application

TURBO-STRIPPER 230V, Artikel Nr. 038587 ab Masch. Nr. 0001/06
Use this machine only
as instructed in this operating manual
with the machine in perfect working order.
Wolff cannot be held responsible for any damage or
loss caused by incorrect use Correct use also includes
to take care of all directions from the operating
manual and
the execution of maintenance and service.

4.0 Maintenance
The Turbo-Stripper is virtually maintenance-free. Have the guides
of the swing bolts lubricated from time to time (after approx. 500
square meters).
The lubricator nipples are located collateral on the front side
(see picture). The used grease will flush dirt out of the machine.
Press maximum 3 to 4 times with the grease gun. Never press
too much grease into the machine. Otherwise the mechanism
will be blocked.
Changing the blade
Disconnect the power supply before changing the blade. Use
work gloves for your own safety.

tip the machine

put on the blade protection (enclosed in the tools set)
Warning! Very sharp blade! You may cause injury without
using the blade protection!

secure the tipped machine from tilting over

clean and loosen the screws of the blade mounting,
Attention! Set the wrench at a position opposite to the
blade to avoid injury.

replace the blade.
Make sure that the blade fits in exactly into the support. On
normal and hard subfloors the bevel of the blade should show
upwards (1), on soft subfloors (e.g. chipboards) the bevel should
show downwards (2).
Changing the driving wheels
Remove the splint-pins and pull the wheels from the axle. Do not
loose the springs under any circumstances!
5.0 Use
The Turbo-Stripper removes any bonded floor coverings in
strips. This procedure corresponds with the customary method
of using a hand floor scraper. The stripper works with a thin steel
blade at very high frequency, minimizing vibration and noise.
The Turbo-Stripper is self propelled. The motor actuates both
the blade and the machine movement. The blade drive starts as
soon as the machine is switched on. The hand clutch will enga-
ge the drive.

Starting
The Turbo-Stripper is equipped with a power-on indicator lamp
(1) and an operating switch located at the top of the handle. The
switch has a restart protection for low-voltage failures.
If the lamp does not indicate power-on, use another power
socket or check power supply.
If a mains power failure occurs during operation, switch-on the
machine again.
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 slightly in order to get the blade underneath it.
We recommend to 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, collateral rounded
or becomes worn.
The driving wheels are subjected to wear. They have to be
changed after approximately 16 mm (0.6 inch) of the surface
has been worn away. Otherwise the working angle of the striking
apparatus will not be correct especially critical with cork or foam
backed carpets.
Assembly of support for additional weight (accessory)
Item no. 038535
The weight of the Turbo-Stripper is expandable by 1 up to 3
additional weights (1 single weight = 30 kg).
Individual weight shifting is possible at 3 positions (see picture)."

If the machine is switched on, but the hand clutch is
not engaged, it might happen that the machine runs
slowly “backwards”. This is caused by the return stro-
ke of the blade action. It means no failure of the Turbo-
Stripper.

Emergency running
The Turbo-Stripper can be operated also with broken or damaged
hand clutch as follows:

disconnect power supply

remove emergency-run-plate (1) (mounted on top of the
plug of the hand clutch (2) )

insert emergency-run-plate instead of the plug

screw-in thumb-screw (3) until the driving wheels are
blocked

fix emergency-run-plate with thumb-screw (4)

If the emergency-run-plate is mounted, the motor drive is
always switched on. The machine starts running immediately
after switching on.
6.0 Information about certain floor coverings
Needlepunch felt and tufted carpets on jute hessian backings
Cut into strips of approx. 35 cm (14inch) width. If the flooring is
bonded very tight, cut strips smaller. The machine should remo-
ve the flooring without slipping wheels.
Carpets with foam backing
A sharp blade is essential in order to ensure the floor covering is
removed together with the foam backing.
Remove floorings across the width, particularly if you have an
uneven sub-floor.
Tiles
Use blade of the same width as the tiles and use a new blade.
Tiles above size 30 x 30cm (12 x 12inch) have to be cut into half.
If the sub-floor is uneven, use smaller blades.
In all cases, check from time to time to ensure the blade is still
sharp. If it is not or any distortion has occurred, replace it imme-
diately.
