Care And Maintenance - Roberts 10-475 Manual De Operación

Patented Adjusting Blade
Orbit Motion
The Roberts Floor Stripper can be adjusted to produce different
blade motions, from a "slicing" side-to-side orbit, to a
"Chopping" back and forth motion.
The motion is set by sliding the Pivot of the Driver Bar forward
or backward.
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRIC POWER TO YOUR
STRIPPER BEFORE ADJUSTING THE PIVOT!
Two large Hex Cap bolts are located toward the front of the
Stripper base, one on each side, as shown in Figure A. To
adjust the Pivot, loosen both bolts by turning counter-clockwise
with the Allen wrench supplied. Slide the pivot to the desired
blade motion.

In the center, the blade motion will be circular in shape, as
most strippers operate. This is shown in Figure A-1.

If the Pivot is moved to the full back position (Figure A-2), the
blade will move in a side-to-side, or "slicing" motion.

By setting the Pivot full forward, as shown in Figure A-3, the
blade will move in a back and forth "chopping" path.

The Pivot may be set in any position, to produce the best blade
action for your job. By experimenting with different settings,
you can determine the blade motion you prefer.
Note the blade motion patterns in these illustrations is
exaggerated to show the different results for different pivot
settings.
CAUTION: TIGHTEN THE TWO HEX CAP BOLTS TIGHTLY
BEFORE CONNECTING THE ELECTRIC POWER AND USING
YOUR STRIPPER!

Care and Maintenance

1. As with any major power tool, keep your Roberts Stripper
clean, and do not leave the machine outside in the weather.
2. Inspect the Stripper regularly. If the blade is chipped, cracked, or
dull, replace it. Roberts's blades are sharpened on two edges, so
the blade can be reversed and used. Check the electrical cord. If
there are cracks or cuts, immediately replace the cord.
3. Occasionally – every couple of months – turn the Stripper upside
down and remove the bottom cover plate, by removing the four
small Cap screws. Check for dirt and debris, and remove any
foreign material. Apply light grease in the slot where the Pivot
slides back and forth. Bearings are self-lubricating.
4. Some users wrap Duct tape around the rubber wheels so
adhesive can be removed easily.
5. Make sure all bolts and fasteners are tightened. Due to the
normal vibration of Floor Strippers. Fasteners can come loose.
