An Electric Floor Stripper is a powerful machine designed to remove old flooring materials such as vinyl, carpet, tile, and adhesives quickly and efficiently. Perfect for renovation projects, it saves time and effort while leaving a clean surface ready for new installation. In this video, we’ll show you how to set up and operate an electric floor stripper, how to adjust blade angles for different materials, and tips for smooth, effective removal with minimal mess. 💡 Pro Tip Use the correct blade for the type of flooring you’re removing. Keep steady pressure and let the machine do the work—avoid forcing it. For stubborn areas, work in smaller sections and adjust the blade angle as needed. ⚠️ Safety Reminder Wear safety glasses, gloves, hearing protection, and sturdy footwear. Keep electrical cords away from the stripping path. Be mindful of machine weight when transporting or repositioning. Always disconnect power before changing blades or performing maintenance. 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more flooring tool guides, renovation tips, and pro equipment tutorials! 🔖 Hashtags #FloorStripper, #FloorRemoval, #RenovationTools, #FlooringDemo, #ElectricTools, #DIYRenovation, #ConstructionEquipment, #HomeImprovement

00:00well welcome back and in our continuing series here on flooring equipment things to make jobs

00:16easier definitely this particular item is used in those ugly jobs when you've got VCT tile

00:23linoleum thinner materials stuck down in with that an old black glue could be on wood could be on

00:31concrete but this is a tool that's going to do the back and forth motion for you to try and get these

00:39materials off the floor now these blades that come with them or now come with them but you purchase

00:45the blades are beveled and on the top of the machine it'll mention to you that the bevel down

00:50is for wood so you can glide across it and the bevel up for doing it on concrete so the trick is

00:58to loosen off these X nuts here it'll drop down the plate holder and you'll put this says plastic on

01:14it right now but this will slide into there and stick out now usually I start about an inch and a

01:21quarter or so inch to inch and a half sticking out from the unit and then clamp it back down and make

01:27sure that you clamp it back down with the proper size wrench don't try and use vice grips or pliers

01:33get the proper size wrench not not a pipe wrench to mess up the hex drive that way you get this good and

01:41tight because if you do pull this out a bit and you want it out farther then all it's going to do

01:46is push right back in if you don't get it down tight so that way you can get it sometimes in the

01:52it'll work better if it's a little less sticking out I've had it in as far as an inch sometimes I've

01:58had it up on an inch and a half it works a little better you seem to be able to get a little flex in

02:02the blade if you got some of those gummy materials or a lot of times the VTC tiles by the time you get to

02:08using this tiny equipment are so old and brittle that they break off in little pieces so you have

02:13to find the spot that works best a little bit of trial and error this is a weight on the front so

02:19you have some weight on that blade so it gives it some bite and the way you use this is not necessarily

02:26just using your hands and trying to push it get your waist into it your buckle area lift it up off the

02:34wheels and push with your body that makes it a lot less tiresome now don't forget this has a lot of

02:40shaking to it but then you can maneuver it a little bit back and forth up and down with your legs and

02:45you're not trying to do everything with your arms this is this machine and a floor maintainer operate

02:51fairly close to the same having the the handles right into your waist and then go across now the

02:59other trick is sometimes if tile have been down so long particularly in some of the plants and maybe

03:06even tow motors have riven over you can't even see the seams some heat ahead of it if it's on concrete

03:12you can use flame heat a torch if it's on wood sometimes you can use a heat gun to warm up the

03:18tile and sometimes that makes it a little easier to get them off just a little thing that might help you

03:23out so there's a tool that saves a lot of jamming back and forth particularly far better than trying

03:30to use a shovel or anything and a in the hand scraper particularly a small one so give that a

03:37try with your next project that needs it and don't forget to subscribe
