5 Operation
Always switch the machine off before con-
necting or disconnecting the mains power
cable!
Connecting and detaching the mains power cable -
see Fig. [5].
The switch [1-2] is an on/off switch (press = ON, re-
lease = OFF).
The locking button [1-1] can be engaged to operate
in continuous mode. Press the switch again to re-
lease the knob.
6 Working with the machine
For work that generates dust, wear a dust
mask.
Before commencing peeling, it is useful to cut the
carpets in lengths so that the guide rolls them up
during the removal process.
The most favourable working angle [1] between the
carpet knife [2-3] and the surface of the floor de-
pends on the covering to be removed and the struc-
ture of the floor beneath it. Angles between 10 and
30° usually provide the best results.
When working in small areas, in corners, on stairs
or in narrow spaces, the machine is usually hand
held. Work in large areas is made easier when the
handle (see "8.1 Handle") is used.
7 Service and maintenance
The machine is equipped with special carbon
brushes. If they are worn, the power is interrupted
automatically and the machine comes to a stand-
still.
To ensure constant air circulation, always keep the
cooling air openings in the motor housing clean and
free of blockages.
