Roberts 10-410 Manual De Operación página 2

INTRODUCTION
Your ROBERTS 10-410 is precision engineered and manufactured to provide years of dependable service.
Die cast aluminum parts are hand finished to ensure precise operation and appearance. Each 10-410 is fully
inspected for proper operation.
Knee Kickers are designed to be used in residential and light commercial installations. Professional
installers and industry associations such as the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) recommend the use of power
stretchers on large jobs and for heavy carpeting material. Colored 10-410 Kickers are finished with baked
epoxy enamel, which provides a hard protective coating.
LENGTH ADJUSTMENT
The 10-410 Knee Kicker adjusts from 19" to 23"
to suit the individual installer's preference and
unique job conditions. To adjust the Kicker, depress
the double locking pins on the side, then pull the
rubber bumper and channel assembly out to the
desired setting. MAKE SURE THE PINS ARE FULLY
EXTENDED IN THE CLOSEST "STOPS". Test the
security of the trigger by pulling back and forth on
the bumper.
VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT
The large steel teeth can be adjusted to suit
different types of carpet and carpet backings by
rotating the adjustment dial on the front of the Knee
Kicker. The teeth can be adjusted from the fully
retracted position for light carpet and backings,
to extending 1/2" for heavy carpet and backings.
Select the pin depth setting that is best for your job.
BUMPER
The dense foam rubber bumper is designed to cushion the impact to the installer's knee, and must be
maintained in perfect condition. The rubber bumper can be mounted in four positions to distribute the
wear evenly, by removing the four mounting screws, rotating the bumper, then reattaching. A 50% thicker
bumper is available from ROBERTS Distributors if more cushioning is desired. (Order part 10-422-09) Do
not use worn or damaged rubber bumpers as injury might result. Order a replacement bumper.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Remove lint and carpet pile from the nap grip occasionally with a small screwdriver to keep the nap
grips clear. This will maintain the grip's ability to engage the carpet nap.
2. Apply a light, white grease on occasion to the channel to keep it operating smoothly. Wipe off excess
grease before using the Kicker.
3. Give your Kicker the care and protection you would to any precision professional tool. Many installers
wrap their kickers in a heavy cloth or towel to protect the finish from being chipped or dented by
other tools.
