Using the MarshallTown FFS22 scraper is easy. First, hold the non - slip grip firmly in your hand. For surface preparation or cleaning of concrete forms, concrete, or wood floors, place the blade flat against the surface and apply gentle pressure while scraping. Make sure to move the scraper in a smooth, continuous motion. When using it on different surfaces, adjust the pressure as needed. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the blade with a brush to remove any debris. Keep the blade dry to prevent rust. Store the scraper in a cool, dry place. Avoid using excessive force as it may damage the blade or the handle. If you notice any signs of wear on the blade or the handle, stop using it and consider replacing the parts.
