Removing Glued Down Carpet
Ripping up glued down carpeting is a tedious and time-consuming task
especially in a small confined space.
But thanks to the Dremel Multi-Max the once nearly impossible is now possible.
To demonstrate this we'll fit the Dremel Multi-Max oscillating tool with an
MM600 rigid scraper blade.
Begin by attaching the rigid scraper blade.
Tighten the screw with the allen wrench to secure the blade to the holder.
Plug your tool in.
Before working with the tool we suggest scoring the carpet first with the
utility knife to create an access point.
When removing strong tacky adhesives grease the scraper blade surface with
petroleum jelly or silicone grease to reduce gumming up.
Wow set the tool to medium speed
and begin working the blade between the floor and the carpet.
When enough is peeled away you can use your free hand to hold the old carpet
out of the way
Now use the blade to cut away the glue along the line between the floor and
carpet as you pull up the old carpet.
The Dremel Multi-Max helps you repair, remodel, and restore with ease.
