IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJU-
RY OR BE FATAL. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOW-
ING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE USE AND OPERA-
TIONS OF FLOOR FINISHING MACHINES.
Your Demon is equipped with a safety switch lock and power
switch triggers designed for your safety. Do not attempt to bypass
or defeat the safety switch lock. Never use any device to lock the
power switch triggers in the “ON” position.
• Do not leave the Demon plugged in. Turn o󰀨 the switch and
unplug the electrical cord when not in use and before servicing or
changing the brushes or pads.
• Do not allow the machine to be used as a toy. Close attention
is necessary when used near children. Do not leave the machine
connected to an electrical outlet unattended.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s
recommended attachments.
• Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If the machine is not
working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, or left out-
doors, return it to a service center before using.
• Use care to keep the electrical supply cord around sharp edges
or corners. Keep the cord away from the heated surfaces.
• Connect to properly grounded (3-wire) outlet only. Refer to
Grounding Instructions.
• Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current
carrying capacity.
• Turn o󰀨 all controls before unplugging.
• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug
and pull.
• Do not handle the plug or Demon with wet hands.
• Wind the cord no tighter than is necessary to retain it during
storage. Refer to Cord Storage.
• Use extra care when working on or near stairs.
• Do not use in conjunction with ammable or combustible liquids
such as gasoline, or use in areas where explosive vapor or dust
may be present.
• Store your Demon indoors in a cool, dry area.
• Keep your work area well lighted.

RISK OF EXPLOSION. FLOOR SANDING MA-
CHINE CAN RESULT IN AN EXPLOSIVE MIX-
TURE OF FINE DUST AND AIR. USE FLOOR
SANDING MACHINE ONLY IN A WELL-VENTILAT-
ED AREA, FREE FROM ANY FLAME OR MATCH

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is
equipped with a cord that has an equipment-grounding conductor
and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
FLOOR FINISHING MACHINES RATED LESS THAN 150 VOLTS
Improper connection of an equipment grounding conductor can
result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician
or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance. If it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualied electrician. This appliance is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure 1.
A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in
Figure 2 may be used to connect this plug to a two pole recepta-
cle, as shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded
outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualied electrician. The
green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must
be held in place by metal screw.
FOR FLOOR FINISHING MACHINES RATED 150-220 VOLTS:
If the machine is provided with an attachment plug cap as shown
in Figure 3, it is intended for use on a 240 volt (nominal) circuit. No
adapter is available for this cap.
DO NOT USE GROUNDING ADAPTERS ON
DEMONS IN CANADA. CHECK WITH CANADI-
AN CODE FOR PROPER EQUIPMENT USAGE.
IMPROPER USE OF GROUND ADAPTORS CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, FIRE, OR BE FATAL.
CONTROLS
TO TURN THE MACHINE ON
The operating handle must be lowered and locked to the proper
operating position before switching the machine ON. Place both
hands rmly on the handle grips with your ngers around the
power triggers.
Do NOT apply pressure on the triggers before the safety switch
lock is disengaged.
Disengage the safety switch lock by pushing it forward with one
thumb. Then, while holding the safety switch lock in the disen-
gaged position, squeeze the power triggers toward the handle
grips and return your thumb to the handle grip.
GUIDELINES FOR OPERATION
Your Demon is a very sensitive, powerful unit. When in operation,
it should be guided gradually and smoothly without sudden or
rough motions. You will want to practice with your machine on a
smooth surface until you have experience in operating it.
• For ease of operation, always keep the brush or pad surface
level, balanced, and at on the oor at all times.
• Always adjust the operating handle to a comfortable height at
which the brush or pad surface is balanced before starting the
machine. (See Handle Adjustment)
• Your Demon will operate di󰀨erently on various surfaces. For
example, there will be much more resistance when the machine
is used on a rough surface, than when it is used on a smooth
surface. The operator should be prepared to adjust for these
di󰀨erences.
• BEGIN OPERATING THE DEMON WITH THE PAD SURFACE
LEVEL, BALANCED AND FLAT ON THE FLOOR.
• To move the machine to the right, slowly apply slight upward
pressure on the handle.
• To move the machine to the left, slowly apply slight downward
pressure on the handle.
• To move the machine forward or backward, keep the brush or
pad at on the oor and push or pull the machine in the desired
direction.
ADJUSTMENTS- HANDLE ADJUSTMENT
The handle can be adjusted to any desired work position by simply
pulling on the pull pin and move the handle to the desired position.
Firmly push the pull pin back into the adjustment holes. This will
lock the handle in position.
Pull Knob
CLEANUP & STORAGE
After being used, your Demon can be wiped clean with a soft
damp cloth and should be stored in a clean, dry place.
To stop the machine, simply release the triggers. The safety
switch lock will automatically return to the engaged position.
CORD STORAGE
When not in use, loosely coil the power cord and hang on the
handle.
