SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
Work Piece and Work Area Set Up
1. Identify the area you intend to scrape.
Clear the oor of loose objects. Use care when
operating Air Scraper near baseboards.
2. The work area must be well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
3. Route the air hose along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard
or exposing the air hose to possible damage.
The air hose must be long enough to reach
the work area with enough extra length to
allow free movement while working.
4. There must not be hazardous objects
(such as utility lines or foreign objects) nearby
that will present a hazard while working.
General Operating Instructions
1. If an automatic oiler is not used, add a
few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to airline
connection before use. Add a few drops
more after each hour of continual use.
2. Hold the Handle (11) and Housing (14).
NOTE: If the ooring is made of sectioned tile or
linoleum, place the Chisel’s edge at the edge of the tile.
NOTE: Either side of Chisel tip can do the cutting.
3. Apply forward pressure on the Air Scraper
while holding it at approximately 45°- 60° angle.
This will help dig into the ooring. See Figure B.

4. Press Throttle Lever (9) to begin scraping.
Keep pressure on Air Scraper.
5. Push the Air Scraper forward against
the material being scraped off.
NOTE: Push down on the Scraper’s handle.
Simply guiding the Scraper will not work.
NOTE: When scraping linoleum oors and the ooring
comes apart in large sections, stop scraping. Clear and
remove debris and use a utility knife (sold separately)
to cut and remove the lifted sections together.
6. If the tool requires more force to accomplish the task,
verify that the tool receives sufcient, unobstructed
airow (SCFM) and increase the pressure (PSI)
output of the regulator up to the maximum air
pressure rating of this tool.
CAUTION! TO PREVENT TOOL AND ACCESSORY
FAILURE, RESULTING IN INJURY: Do not exceed
the tool’s maximum air pressure rating.
If the tool still does not have sufcient force
at maximum pressure and sufcient airow,
then a larger tool may be required.
7. When leaving the work area, turn off the air
supply valve, disconnect Air Scraper from the air
supply, and press the Throttle Lever to discharge
any trapped air in the tool and air supply line,
then release the Throttle Lever. Lay the tool
down on the oor or lean it against a wall corner
with the chisel edge resting on the oor.
