HAZARD INTENSITY LEVEL
LB1500 86037180 12/29/06
2-2
The following symbols are used throughout this guide as indicated in their descriptions:
HAZARD INTENSITY LEVEL
There are three levels of hazard intensity identified by signal words -WARNING and CAUTION and FOR
SAFETY. The level of hazard intensity is determined by the following definitions:
WARNING - Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.
!WARNING
!CAUTION
CAUTION - Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in minor personal injury or product or
property damage.
FOR SAFETY: To Identify actions which must be followed for safe operation of equipment.
Report machine damage or faulty operation immediately. Do not use the machine if it is not in proper
operating condition. Following is information that signals some potentially dangerous conditions to the
operator or the equipment. Read this information carefully. Know when these conditions can exist.
Locate all safety devices on the machine. Please take the necessary steps to train the machine
operating personnel.
FOR SAFETY:

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
LB1500 86037180 12/29/06 2-
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL
USE ONLY.

ELECTRICAL:
In the USA this machine operates on a 15 amp
nominal 120V, 60 hz, A.C. power circuit. The
amp, hertz, and voltage are listed on the data
label found on each machine. Using voltages
above or below those indicated on the data label
will cause serious damage to the motors.
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 having an equipment-
grounding conductor and grounding plug. The
plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like
the plug in “Fig. A”. A temporary adaptor that
looks like the adaptor in “Fig . C” may be used
to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in “Fig. B”, if a properly grounded outlet
is not available. The temporary adaptor should
be used only until a properly grounded outlet
(Fig. A) can be installed by a qualified
electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or
the like extending from the adaptor must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever
the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a
metal screw.
!WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified
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 fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

The machine is shipped with handle unassembled.
Follow these steps for installation:
1. Remove handle and deck assembly from
carton.
2. Attach handle assembly to base using
hardware kit (86219680 PRV NO. 47331)
(attached to handle in a plastic bag) items 1,
2, and 3.
NOTE: The spacers (items 1) are required for the
correct operation of the handle. The spacers are
positioned completely inside the pivot holes in the
casting, and are held in place by tightening the
bolts and washers (items 2 and 3) against the
spacer.

links as shown. Tighten bolt and nut securely,
then back off 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
4. Check handle for movement up and down.
5. Plug motor cord into handle cord receptacle.

OPERATION
LB1500 86037180 12/29/06
CONTROLS
1. Safety Lock – Prevents unintended operation of
the machine.
2. Switch Levers – Turns machine on/off.
3. Adjustment Handle – Allows the handle to be
adjusted to a comfortable operating position.
3-3
The handle adjust bar (86215130 - PRV
NO.14344) for the polishers are individually
preset at the factory for optimum locking
efficiency and minimum effort of engaging. It
should not be necessary to adjust the handle
adjust bar unless the relationship of the handle
adjust bar nut (86136360 - PRV NO. 57275) or
fixed clamp bolt (86136700 – PRV NO. 70692)
and their corresponding nuts (86136360 –
PRV NO. 57275) and washer (86010720 –
PRV NO. 87086) have been disturbed. The
handle can be positioned to be locked with the
handle adjust bar pointing either up or down.
In order to change the position the handle and
bolt must be removed and rotated 180
degrees. It is incorrect to make it lock opposite
from the way it was assembled by applying
more force to the nut. From the factory the
locking is in the up position when the machine
handle is locked. The pivot pin (86222560 –
PRV NO. 66334) on the handle adjust bar is
off center, in relationship of the screw to the
axis of the (see drawing). To adjust handle
adjust bar, tighten nut on handle while in the
locked position. The handle is locked when the
screw is to the outside of the machine and the
flat on the opposite side of the handle is flush
to the bracket.
1. To adjust handle lock, tighten nut on handle while
in the locked position. Optimum locking force and
ease of locking is accomplished when the locking
lever nut is set to a torque of 30 to 50 inch pounds
in the locked position.
2. Gap between clamp halves at the front should be
to the gap in rear when the handle adjust bar is
adjusted properly and in the locked position (gap
approximately 1/16").
