3.2 Danger while working with the machine

The Super® Stripper is designed to the highest technical standards.

Incorrect use can be dangerous!
Use this machine only:

- As instructed in this operating manual.

- With the machine in perfect wo rking order.
Disturbances that could impair safety have to be eliminated at once.

3.3 Restriction of use

The Super® Stripper is exclusively for removing bonded floor covering in dry

environments. It should not be used for any other purpose. Sinclair Equipment
Company cannot be held responsible for any damage or loss caused by incorrect

use.

Correct use also includes:

- To take care of all directions from the operating manual and

- The execution of maintenance and service.

4.0 Maintenance

The

Super® Stripper is virtually maintenance free. The guide shaft castings require
lubrication from time to time. (After approx. 1650 sq. feet). Initially the machine is fully’
lubricated and should not require any additional lubrication for the first 5000 square feet.
The zirc fittings are located on each side (see diagram).

1) To Grease the gearbox on its right side, remove left wheel and bottom cover. Spin
axel/gearbox to expose zirc fitting. (See Diagram 2) Put 2 to 3 pumps to gearbox every
50 to 75 hours. The used grease will flush dirt out of the machine. Replacement
lubrication should be a Lithium based chassis type lube (i.e. auto grease gun pack).

Diagram 1 Diagram 2

The used grease will flush dirt out of the machine. Replacement lubrication should
be a Lithium based chassis type lube (i.e. auto grease gun pack).

CAUTION !! Press maximum 3 to 4 times with the grease gun. Never press too much
grease into the machine. Otherwise the mechanism will be blocked.

Changing the blade
Disconnect the power supply and put on the blade protection before changing the blade.
Use work gloves for your own safety.

-Tip the machine

-Put on the blade protection (enclosed in the tool set)

Warning! Very sharp blade! You may cause injury without using the blade

protection!

-Secure the tipped machine from tilting over

-Clean and loosen screws of the blade mounting

Attention! Set the wrench at a position opposite to the blade to avoid injury.

-replace the blade

Make sure that the sharp bevel of the blade always shows upwards and the blade is
fitting in exactly the position of the old one.

Changing the driving wheels

Remove the lynch-pins and pull the wheels from the axle. Do not loose the wheel

key under any circumstances.

5.0 Use

The Super® Stripper removes bonded, flexible floor covering in strips. This

procedure corresponds with the customary method of using a hand floor scraper. The
stripper works with a steel blade at a very high frequency, minimizing vibration and
noise.

The Super® Stripper is self propelled. The motor actuates both the blade and the
machine movement. The blade drive starts as soon as the machine is switched on.

Starting
The Super® Stripper is equipped with an operating switch located at the top of the
handle. This is a safety switch, which must be held down to engage the
Super® Stripper. There is a current limiting protective device which causes a two

second delay to full power on start.

Before starting work, cut the floor covering
into strips of about 30cm (11 inches).
You cannot work faster if you cut wider strips.
To begin, cut one strip crosswise. Then lift the
flooring slightly in order to get the blade
underneath it. We recommend to cut the
first strip at right angles to the main working
direction. By doing so, access to the adjacent
strips is made easier. Cut the strips smaller if
the floor covering is bonded very securely, e.g.
with an epoxy adhesive.

The blades are sharpened by the floor pavement. Therefore the blade has to be
changed only if it is twisted or becomes worn.

The driving wheels are subject to wear. They have to be changed after approximately
16mm (0.6 inch) of the surface has been worn away. Otherwise the working angle of the
striking apparatus will not be correct especially critical with cork or foam backed carpets.

6.0 Information about various floorings

CV-floorings, PVC-floorings and carpets without foam backing

Cut strips of approx. 30 cm (12 inch) width. If the flooring is bonded very tight, cut
strips smaller. The machine should remove the flooring without slipping wheels.

Carpets with foam backing

A sharp blade is essential in order to ensure the floor covering is removed together with
the foam backing. Remove floorings across the width, particularly if you have any
uneven sub-floor.

Tiles

Use a blade of the same width as the tiles and use a new blade. Tiles about size 30 x
30cm (12 x 12 inches) have to be cut into half. If the sub-floor is uneven, use smaller
blades.

In all cases, check from time to time to ensure the blade is still sharp. If the blade is not
sharp or any distortion has occurred, replace it immediately.

7.0 Trouble shooting

paints and thin films. Inexpensive and an excellent choice for complete clean up after floorcovering
removal.

#10-4903 8”X 5”Rigid. Ideal for hard to reach areas such as toe kicks, under radiators, etc. Also used
for clean up of small areas of parquet, ceramic, etc.

#10-4906D 8”X 2.5”Rigid Self Dicing. For use on carpet, rubber or vinyl. A real time saver, on pre­cutting necessary since blade will cut strips with knife edged sides.

TURBO/EXTRO/SUPER STRIPPER

*Super Stripper uses 12” Blades Only
