Safety Setup Specific Safety Instructions 1. Verify flooring has concrete or another hard, smooth surface underneath. Wood will likely be damaged from Scraper operation. 2. Do not operate Scraper without the Chisel (26) contacting the flooring. The Scraper will not operate unless pressed firmly against the workpiece. 3. Check tightness of the Hex Head Screw (25) during regular use. The Screw may loosen during operation. 4. The warnings and precautions discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator. 5. Only use with accessories rated to handle the forces exerted by this tool during operation. Other accessories not designed for the forces generated may break and forcefully launch pieces. 6. Attach all accessories properly to the tool before connecting the air supply. A loose accessory may detach or break during operation. 7. Obey the manual for the air compressor used to power this tool. 8. WARNING: This product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.) 9. Install an in-line shutoff valve to allow immediate control over the air supply in an emergency, even if a hose is ruptured. 10. Use this tool with both hands only. Using tools with only one hand can result in loss of control. 11. Do not lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control. Vibration Precautions This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury: 1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud's Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible. 2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury. 3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user. 4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice. 5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work. 6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work. 7. To reduce vibration, maintain tool as explained in this manual. If abnormal vibration occurs, stop immediately. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
