2.0 Safety
The Sinclair Turbo£Stripper is state of the art designed and meets all
standard safety requirements.
3.1 Safety Instructions
Disconnect the power supply before any maintenance is carried out.
Use only recommended blades and make sure the blade is sharp before starting.
Only qualified personnel should undertake maintenance. Use only
genuine Sinclair spare parts.
CAUTION!!! Always wear ear and eye protectors! CAUTION!!!
Using this machine without ear and eye protectors may jeopardize or harm your health.
It may harm especially your ears and increase the risk of an accident.
The user and any person within range should always use ear protectors!
PLEASE READ DETAILED SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON COLORED
SHEET BEFORE USING MACHINE!
Transport
Always remove the blade before transporting the machine.
Disconnect the power supply and the plug of
the clutch before removing the handle. Otherwise
you might damage the hydraulics of the clutch.
Mount the steel plate (1) instead of the clutch.
Turn thumb screw (3) clockwise until the drive
wheels are locked. This way the machine cannot
move by itself.
Never transport the machine without the
wheels blocked.
2.2 Introduction
This operating manual should be used to receive the maximum benefit from your Turbo£
Stripper. Following these instructions will both extend the life of your machine and reduce
repair costs.
Please make sure any user of the machine is familiar with these instructions before work
begins.
2.3 Danger while working with the machine
The Turbo£Stripper is designed to the highest technical standards. Incorrect use can be
dangerous!

2.4 Restriction of use
The Turbo£Stripper is exclusively for removing bonded floor covering in dry
environments. It should not be used for any other purpose. Sinclair Equipment
Company cannot be held responsible for any damage or loss caused by incorrect
use.
2.5 Genuine Spare Parts
Spare parts and accessories are manufactured uniquely for the Turbo£Stripper. It must be
emphasized that parts obtained from unauthorized sources must not be used.
Sinclair Equipment Company cannot be held responsible for the performance of or any damage
arising from the use of machines in which genuine spare parts have not been used.
This is particularly important with replacement blades.
2.6 Low-voltage Protection
The Turbo Stripper is equipped with a low-voltage protection switch. The power supply
breaks if current fluctuation or main power failures occur, thus preventing serious accidents.
Due to the restart protection, the machine will not restart after a power failure, even if the
operation switch has not been switched off.
For using the protective cut-out switch see item 5.0.
3.0 Assembly of Machine & Handle
Insert handle into Turbo II base as shown in diagram.
Tighten wing bolts in handle. Note that bolts are spring loaded to get past
foot pad. Position both bolts facing up as shown in diagram.
3.1 Adjustement Of Handle
To adjust handle, loosen wing bolt on back of handle. Pull knob on side lever and lift torwards
you. Pull locking knob out from back of handle and slide handle up or down. Release
spring loaded knob where needed & tighten wing bolt. (See figures)

4.0 Maintenance
The Turbo£Stripper is virtually maintenance free. The guide shaft castings require
lubrication from time to time. (after approx. 1650 sq. feet). Initially the machine is fully
lubricated and should not require any additional lubrication for the first 5000 square feet.
The grease fittings are located on each side. (See Diagram 1) To Grease the gearbox on
it’s right side, remove left wheel and bottom cover. Spin axel/gearbox to expose grease
fitting. (See Diagram 2) Put 2 to 3 pumps to gearbox every 50 to 75 hours. The used
grease will flush dirt out of the machine. Replacement lubrication should be a Lithium
based chassis type lube (i.e. auto grease gun pack).
CAUTION!! Press maximum of 3 times with the grease gun. Never press too
much grease into the machine. Otherwise the mechanism will be blocked.

Changing the blade
Disconnect the power supply and put on the
blade protection before changing the blade.
Use work gloves for your own safety.
- release bar on side of handle & tip the
machine as shown
- put on the blade protection
- (enclosed in the tool set)
Warning! Very sharp blade!
You may cause injury without using the blade protection!
- clean and loosen screws of the blade mounting
Attention! Set the wrench at a position opposite to the blade to avoid injury.
- replace the blade
Make sure that the blade fits in exactly into
the support. On normal and hard sub floors the
bevel of the blade should show upwards (1), on
soft sub floors the bevel should show downwards (2).
Changing the driving wheels
Remove the lynch-pins and pull the wheels from
the axle. Do not loose the wheel key under any
circumstances!
5.0 Use
The Turbo£Stripper removes any bonded floor
coverings in strips. This procedure corresponds
with the customary method of using a hand floor
scraper. The stripper works with a steel blade at very high frequency, minimizing vibration
and noise.
The Turbo£Stripper is self-propelled. The motor actuates both the blade and the
machine movement. The blade drive starts as soon as the machine is switched on
The hand clutch will engage the drive.
Starting
8
The Turbo£Stripper is equipped with a Power
-on indicator lamp (1) and an operating Switch
located at the top of the handle. The switch has
a restart protection for low-voltage failures.
If the lamp does not indicate power-on, use another
power socket or check power supply.
Before starting work, cut the floor covering into strips
of about 12 “. You cannot work faster if you cut wider
strips.
To begin, cut one strip crosswise. Then lift the flooring slightly in order to get the blade underneath it.
We recommend to cut the first strip at right angles to the main working direction. By so doing access
to the adjacent strips is made easier.
Cut the strips smaller if the floor covering is bonded very securely, e.g. with an epoxy adhesive.
The blades are sharpened by the floor pavement. Therefore the blade has to be changed only if it is
twisted or becomes worn.
The driving wheels are subject to wear. They have to be changed after approximately 16mm (0.6
inch) of the surface has been worn away. Otherwise the working angle of the striking apparatus will
not be correct especially critical with cork or foam backed carpets.

Assembly of support for additional weight (accessory)
The weight of the Turbo Stripper is expandable
by 1 up to 3 additional weights (each weight
is 66 lbs) Sinclair part# T38535
Individual weight shifting is possible at 3
positions (see picture).
