PREPARING THE FLOOR
Before each use of this machine, the floor must be clean and completely
dry. Clean the floor with an automatic floor scrubber or a damp mop, using a
solution of water and neutral cleaner.
CAUTION!
This machine should be used only on floors that are coated with a floor finish
suitable for burnishing. Contact your localAdvance Distributor for further
information on floor finishing products.
PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE
WARNING!
This machine contains moving parts. To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug the power cord before servicing.
B - INSTALLING THE PAD
To install a pad, tip the machine back on it’s handle. Remove the Pad Retainer
“A” (in the center of the pad holder) by turning counter-clockwise to loosen.
Put the proper size Pad “B” on the Pad Holder Hub “C”. Re-install the Pad
Retainer “A” by turning clockwise to tighten.
OPERATION
1Unwrap the Power Cord (5) and plug it in to an outlet.
2Unlatch the Operator Handle (6) by pushing forward on the Handle
Release Latch (4) with your foot. Continue to hold latch (4) while
pulling the handle (6) back. It is normal for the base of the machine
to lift off of the floor slightly when the handle is lowered. It will pull
itself down against the floor as soon as the motor is started.
3Hold one of the Operator Hand Grips (1) firmly, push the Safety
Lock Button (2) and then compress the Switch Levers (3) to start the
motor. NOTE: The Safety Lock Button (2) will not depress unless
the Operator Handle (6) has been released and tilted back into the
operating position. When the dual controlled Switch Levers (3) are
released, the machine shuts off immediately.
4Push the machine forward in a straight line, at a slow walking speed.
Overlap each pass about 1-3 inches (25-75 mm).
5When using a polishing pad, check every 15 minutes to see if the pad
is loaded up with wax and dirt. If it is, turn the pad over to expose the
clean side, or install a clean pad.

AFTER USE
1Lift the Operator Handle (6) until it locks in the upright position.
NOTE: The Safety Lock Button (2) will not depress unless the
Operator Handle (6) has been released and tilted back into the
operating position. This will prevent the motor from being engaged
while Operator Handle (6) is in the storage position.
2Unplug the Power Cord (5) and wrap it around the Handle Release
Latch (4) and the right Operator Handle Grip (1).
3Check the skirt around the dust control housing. The skirt should be
replaced if it is worn out or torn.
4Remove the pad from the machine. Clean the pad and hang it up to
dry. Allow buffing pads to dry completely before using again.
5Wipe the entire machine with a clean, damp cloth.
6Inspect the entire machine and all accessories for damage. Perform
any required maintenance or repairs before storage.
7Store the machine in a clean, dry place with the Operator Handle (6)
locked in the upright position.
MAINTENANCE
C - DUST COLLECTION BAG
The dust collection bag should be removed and replaced after about every
20 hours of use. Tip the machine back onto it’s handle (6), the same as
you would if you were changing the pad. Squeeze in on the sides of the
bag cover “A” and remove it from the machine. Remove the dust bag “B”
(being careful not to spill any debris) and discard. Tip the machine back
upright. Push in on the sides of the new bag “B” to pop-it-open and install it
by pushing it down (grip the cardboard base of the bag) onto the (2) tubes
protruding from the base. Re-install the cover “A”.
MOTOR BRUSHES
This machine is equipped with a motor brush wear indicator light. If this light
comes on during use, contact your localAdvance distributor to have the
motor serviced.
NOTE: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to
avoid a hazard.
CAUTION!
The motor can be severely damaged if the machine is used for an extended
period of time with the light glowing.

INSTRUCCIONES DE CONEXIÓN A TIERRA
Esta máquina debe estar conectada a tierra. Si funcionase mal eléctricamente, la conexión a tierra brinda una ruta de menor resistencia para
la corriente eléctrica, con lo que se reduce el riesgo de descargas eléctricas. Este artefacto está equipado con un cable que cuenta con un
conductorparaconexiónatierra del equipo yconunenchufede conexión a tierra. Elenchufedebeinsertarseen un tomacorriente adecuado,
que esté correctamente instalado y conectado a tierra según todos los códigos y regulaciones locales.

fique el enchufe que se suministra con el artefacto. Si no es adecuado para el tomacorriente, haga que un electricista acreditado
le instale un tomacorriente adecuado.
Este artefacto debe utilizarse en un circuito con 120 voltios de tensión nominal, y cuenta con un enchufe con conexión a tierra que es similar
al enchufe que se muestra en la Figura 1 más abajo. Puede utilizarse un adaptador temporal que se ilustra en las figuras 2 y 3 para conectar
