MK-VTS/50 FLOOR SCRAPER TYPES OF TEAROUTS
REMOVAL MATERIALS
Never remove flooring containing asbestos without fully understanding proper
state and federal procedures and guidelines.
WARNING
• VCT TILE: If tiles being removed still do not come up clean or machine jumps on top of tiles,
reduce blade size to a smaller blade until proper blade size is found or use a smaller portion of
the blade. Never use a blade wider than the size of the tile being removed.
• PURE VINYL RUBBER TILE: Self scoring blades can be used with some materials. A 10" blade
is recommended for this product, but determine what size blade works best. Goods will need to
be scored down to 10 to 12 inches for proper removal.
• DIRECT GLUED CARPET: Pre-scored carpet makes machine easier to control and blades stay
sharper longer. Pre-score carpet to blade width prior to stripping. Normally 12" to 14" blades are
used on direct glued carpet, secondary backed, unitary, double glued, vinyl foam, urethane foam.
• Sheet vinyl, solid vinyl, rubber tile, urethane or PVC sheet roofing, will need to be scored for best
removal results.
