How to use
Position the machine at the edge of the flooring to be removed. Engage the magnetic ON/OFF switch and use the Back-Saver™ Blade Control System to lower the blade into the material. Guide the manually propelled unit forward, allowing the random orbit cutting action to separate the flooring from the substrate. For best results, work in manageable sections and keep blades sharp.
