A rubber mallet is recommended for use with the knocking block to avoid damaging the flooring or the block itself.
Ensure the knocking block is placed correctly against the tongue and groove. Use firm, consistent strikes with a rubber mallet. Check for any debris in the joint or on the block.
Verify that the knocking block is fully seated against the plank edge and that you are using appropriate force with a rubber mallet, not a metal hammer. The block is designed to prevent this, so excessive force or improper use is the likely cause.
Ensure you have a firm grip on the large handle. Maintain balance and stability when striking the block. If the block itself appears damaged, discontinue use and inspect for replacement.
Setup: The Roughneck Knocking Block requires no assembly. It is ready for immediate use upon unpacking.
Compatibility: This knocking block is specifically designed for use with laminate and timber flooring. It is not recommended for use with vinyl, LVT, or other types of flooring materials.
Care: To maintain the knocking block, clean it after each use with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they may degrade the nylon material. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Inspect regularly for any signs of significant wear or damage that might compromise its effectiveness or safety.
