Operating Instructions

- Hold the scraper firmly with the soft grip handle.
- Position the blade at a shallow angle (typically 15-30 degrees) against the surface to be scraped.

Maintenance
Cleaning
After each use, wipe the blade and scraper body clean with a dry cloth to remove any debris or residue. For stubborn residue, a damp cloth can be used, ensuring the scraper is thoroughly dried afterwards to prevent rust, especially on the blade.
Blade Replacement
Replace the blade when it becomes dull or damaged. A dull blade requires more force and increases the risk of injury or surface damage. Refer to the "Setup" section for instructions on blade insertion and removal.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Blade not scraping effectively | Dull blade; Incorrect angle; Insufficient pressure | Replace blade; Adjust scraping angle (15-30 degrees); Apply more pressure. |
| Blade slipping during use | Blade not fully locked; Blade not seated correctly | Ensure push button is fully engaged and blade is locked; Re-insert blade, ensuring it clicks into place. |
