Range of applications
Information
Stripping of floor coverings on dry floors. Floor coverings such as carpets, vinyl, coatings,
paint or similar. Only CONTEC® tools can be used. The use of the machine outside is only
possible in dry weather.
Operational function
The OX floor stripper removes glued floor coverings with the help of a vibrating
knife. The knife is moved by an electric motor.

f Start the motor by turning the switch to the on position.
WARNING !
NOTE: If removing sheet vinyl or carpet cut the material into strips with a knife at
approximately the width of the OX blade.
Preparation (Carpet, Coatings)
As preparation, it is sufficient to cut the coating into strips of about 25 cm wide. Wider
strips do not save any time. To be able to start stripping / scraping, a strip must be cut
crosswise. Then lift a few centimetres to get under the covering with the machine knife. It
is advantageous to peel off the first strip crosswisse to the general working direction so
that you can approach the next strips directly.
After use
