Compatibility: This tool is compatible with most common wall surfaces requiring paint or wallpaper removal. It is not intended for use on delicate materials like glass or certain plastics without extreme caution.

Care:

Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blade clean of any residue using a damp cloth. Ensure the blade is completely dry before storing to prevent rust.
