Using the Makita T-02593 floor scraper is easy. First, make sure your hammer accepts SDS-MAX shanks and attach the scraper. Then, start using it on the surface where you need to remove tiles or adhesives. For best results, keep a steady hand and let the 6-foot wide blade do its job. When using the scraper, always wear safety goggles and gloves to protect yourself. Don't use it on surfaces that are too hard or it might damage the blade. To maintain the scraper, clean it after each use to remove any debris. The protective coating helps prevent rust and corrosion, but it's still a good idea to store it in a dry place. If you notice the blade is wearing down, you can replace it with the replacement blade (T-02602) that comes with fasteners.
