78. urface material yield and tensile values As a general rule these values will determine material removal rate per unit of time Materials with high yield and tensile values will characteristically resist limit penetration For such materials the accepted procedure is to decrease blade width and determine optimum blade angle relative to the floor surface This will require increasing or decreasing the blade angle with the Back Saver Blade Control System Other added benefits to this technique are decreased vibration less operator fatigue and increased component service life b Higher material removal rates can sometimes be achieved by making a series of passes 90 degrees to each other to form a waffle like pattern This technique is especially useful when removing deeper accumulations of rubber type materials material residues and dirt debris from industrial floors PAGE 25 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS OPERATION c The covering removal process can be extremely abrasive to the blade cutting edge Blades can be sharpened in the field by the use of the metal file stored on the fixed section of the operator handle Use of the file in the field will not duplicate the original blade manufacturing process but can significantly increase overall productivity rates versus the continued use of a dull blade Remove the blade from the FLOOR COVERING 5 per the procedures outlined in this manual Clamp the blade in a suitable vice Us
