FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS
ON THE USE AND
OPERATIONS OF FLOOR
FINISHING MACHINES.
l Do not allow the machine to be used as a toy.
Close attention is necessary when used near

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should mal-
function 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 ap-
propriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
FOR FLOOR FINISHING MACHINES RATED
LESS THAN 150 VOLTS
Improper connection of an equipment grounding con-
ductor 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 in-
stalled by a qualied electrician. This appliance is for
use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a ground-
ing 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 receptacle, as shown, if a prop-
erly 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 out-
let 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.
WARNING: DO NOT USE
GROUNDING ADAPTERS ON
FLOOR MACHINES IN CANADA.
CHECK WITH CANADIAN CODES
FOR PROPER EQUIPMENT US-
AGE. IMPROPER USE OF GROUND
ADAPTORS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY, FIRE, OR BE FATAL.
OPERATION / ACCESSORIES

machine is not in use.
NOTE: Disconnect power cord from the
electrical outlet before installing or removing
pad, or pad driver.
PAD CENTERING LOCK
To install a pad, place machine in the folded
position. After centering the pad on the pad drivers,
insert the Pad Centering Lock until it securely locks
in place.

The model 175/300 RPM 2-Speed is a two-speed
oor machine designed for dual operation, scrubbing,
or bufng. A toggle switch on the left side of the
switch box selects the output speed, 175 RPM for
scrubbing or 300 RPM for bufng. DO NOT operate
this oor machine for bufng in low speed, it will
not do an effective job and tends to overload the mo-
tor unnecessarily.
GUIDELINES FOR OPERATION
• Your oor machine is a very sensitive, power-
ful unit. When in operation, it should be guided
gradually and smoothly without sudden or rough
motions. You will want to practice with your ma-
chine on a smooth surface until you have experi-
ence 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 comfort-
able height at which the brush or pad surface is
balanced before starting the machine. (See Handle
Adjustment Page 4)
• Your oor machine will operate differently on
various surfaces. For example, there will be much
more resistance when the machine is used with a
brush on carpeted surfaces than when it is used
with a pad on a smooth surface. The operator
should be prepared to adjust for these differences.
• BEGIN OPERATING THE FLOOR MA-
CHINE WITH THE BRUSH OR PAD SUR-
FACE 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.
DO NOT LET THE MACHINE REST ON THE
PAD OR BRUSH FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD
OF TIME. This may alter the shape of the pad or
brush which may cause the machine to wobble.
CORD STORAGE
When not in use, loosely wind the power cord around
the cord storage hook on the handle shaft and both of
the handle grips, as shown:
CLEANUP AND STORAGE
After being used, your oor machine can be wiped
clean with a soft, damp cloth and should be stored in
a clean, dry place.

CONTROLS
ON/OFF POWER SWITCH TRIGGERS
The ON/OFF switch is conveniently located in the
form of dual triggers underneath the handle grips.
TO TURN THE MACHINE ON
The operating handle must be lowered to the operat-
ing 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 for-
ward with one thumb. Then, while holding the safety
switch lock in the disengaged position, squeeze the
power triggers toward the handle grips and return
your thumb to the handle grip. (See gure 8 )
To stop the machine, simply release the triggers. The
safety switch lock will automatically return to the
engaged position. (See gure 8 )
