Figure 8
The model 175/300 RPM 2-Speed is a two-speed
oor machine designed for dual operation, scrubbing,
or bufng. A toggle switch on the left side of the
switch box selects the output speed, 175 RPM for
scrubbing or 300 RPM for bufng. DO NOT operate
this oor machine for bufng 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 )
