- Thin coating set-up: slide plate with distance from 6” to 8” to the floor or from 1/4” to 1/2”
off the wood. Correct distance need to be set after tests. Preferred application is cutting head
(8” to 26”) with Razor Blades. But it is possible also to work with cutting head (8” to 14”) with
standard blade.
- Re- scraping set-up: slide plate with distance from 6” to 8”. Cutting head (8” to 26”) with
Scraper Blades can be used. Good to remember that the blade should be one step bigger than
the cutting head.
- Working over concrete: it is imperative to orient the bevel upwards. Starting small and then
moving to wider blades is also the normal course of action.
- Working over soft sub-floor: slide plate with distance from 1/4” to 1/2” from floor. Preferred
are Extra Heavy Duty Blade or regular blade. Blades need to be installed bevel up and the
position needs to be flat as is possible. On a regular blade the operator can try to bend up the
corners if the blade is gouging the sub-straight. This should help to mitigate digging into the
floor.
- Working over wood: First ensure that the floor is strong enough to handle to full weight of
the machine plus the operator. Start with none of the weights on the machine. Distance
between slide plate and floor should be from 1/4” to 1/2”. Preferred are Extra Heavy Duty
Blades, shoe blades or regular, always mounted bevel up. It is also important to always keep
the blades as flat as possible to the floor.
