Silica Vacuum Warning
Grinding/sanding of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in
their composion may give o dust or mists containing crystalline silica.
Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz, brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks.
Repeated and/or substanal inhalaon of airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory
diseases, including silicosis. In addion, California and some other authories have listed respirable
crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer. When grinding such materials, always follow
respiratory precauons. Use appropriate NIOSH-approved respiratory protecon and OSHA approved
vacuum where dust hazard may occur.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 MESSAGE Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construcon acvies contain chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproducve harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: • Lead, from lead-
based paints • Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products • Arsenic and
chromium, from chemically treated lumber. For further informaon, consult the following sources:
hp://www.osha.gov/dsg/topics/silicacrystalline/index.html
hp://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/96-112/
hp://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/law/P65law72003.html
hp://www.dir.ca.gov/Title8/sub4.html
Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how oen you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-venlated area, and work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic parcles. The use of a dust
extracon device should always be used when grinding/sanding dry with Onoor equipment. To achieve
a high level of dust collecon, use an industrial HEPA vacuum cleaner.

Grounding Instructions & Methods
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock!
This floor machine must be grounded. Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current
to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This machine is equipped with an equipment-grounded plug. The plug must be inserted into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the grounding wire to either flat
blade terminal. The insulated wire with an outer surface that is green with or with- out yellow stripes is the
grounding wire.
The oor machine is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in (Fig A). A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor
illustrated in (Fig B & C) may be used to connect the plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown
in (Fig A) if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adaptor should be used only unl a properly grounded outlet (Fig A) can
be installed by a qualified electrician. The green color rigid ear, lug, or 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 the metal
screw (Fig C).
WARNING: Improper connecon of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualied 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 machine. If it will not
t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
NOTE: In Canada, use of a temporary adaptor is not permied by the
Canadian Electrical Code.

Operating Instructions
1) Clear the oor of any materials or objects.
2) Select and install the accessory tools required for the job. (See p 8 for installaon instrucons.)
3) Move the handle from the lowered “storage” posion to the angled “operang” posion and lock in
place.
4) Place your hands on the handle grips and apply slight pressure to lighten the load on the tools. DO
NOT li the tools o of the ground!
5) Push the start switch toggle forward to “ON” posion. Motor will start.
6) When the machine is running, remove handle pressure and lower completely onto the working
surface.
7) To stop the machine push, start switch toggle backward to “OFF” posion.
Note: If machine unexpectedly shuts down due to a circuit overload, check breaker box feeding the
outlet that the machine is plugged into. TURN MACHINE TOGGLE TO “OFF” POSITION BEFORE
RESETTING CIRCUIT BREAKER.
DO NOT aempt to operate this unit if the machine is not fully assembled. When
servicing or replacing accessories turn OFF the machine
and
disconnect from the
power
source.
Reversing Tool Direcon
The tools can be rotated in either direcon on this machine. The “Forward” direcon is when the cooling
fan on top of the motor is rotang counter-clockwise when viewed from the operator’s posion. The
“Reverse” direcon is when the cooling fan rotates clock-wise when viewed from the operator’s
posion. There is a toggle switch located on the side of the motor connecon box that allows the
operator to select the desired direcon. If a change in direcon is desired, change the switch posion
while motor is o.
All tools supplied by Onoor can operate in the Forward direcon. Some tools supplied by Onoor can
be operated in either direcon. Tools such as 8-way scrapers and Diamabrush tools are designed to
operate in Forward direcon ONLY.
If you have quesons about tool direcon, please contact Onoor or your Onoor representave before
using.

Installation & Changing of Accessory Tools
When installing or changing tools, turn OFF the
Machine and disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet
Before Installaon or Changing Aachments:
1. Unplug the machine from the wall outlet.
2. Ensure handle is in the straight up posion and locked in place.
3. Tilt machine back by bracing it with your foot unl the handle is lying on the oor and the head is
fully exposed. Note: It is recommended that a towel or pad is placed under the machine to protect the
oor.
Changing and Installaon of Aachments
Always wear protecve gloves when installing or removing aachments.
1. Using one hand as leverage and the other to pry the tool away from the machine using a at
screwdriver or pry bar.
2. Select the aachment required for the job, line up the holes on the aachment with the four metal
pins protruding from each of the three heads.
3. Push aachments on by hand and if necessary, carefully tap it into place with a rubber mallet.
4. Carefully raise the handle, supporng the axle with your foot to control the head of the machine as it
is placed on the oor.
5. Check the liquid level on the frame between the wheels. Turn the knop beside the level unl the
bubble is between the lines. (See Leveling Machine for more detail.)
6. Since the aachments are dierent heights, you may need to adjust the dust skirt to make sure it is
level with the aachments. This will ensure clean and virtually dust-free operaon.
7. To adjust skirt, align the skirt with the center of the machine and wrap it around allowing boom
edge of skirt to contact oor.
8. Move the handle back to the operang posion and lock in place.
Leveling Machine for Tool Wear or Tool Change.
Any me the tool is changed on the machine, the machine must be leveled in order to maintain proper
tool contact to the oor. This adjustment needs to be checked periodically even when the same tool is
used for an extended me. To do this nd the liquid level located at the rear of the machine. The goal is
to keep the bubble centered between the lines while the machine is in the user posion. Beside this
level is an adjusng knob. While observing the level, rotate the adjustment knob to center the bubble
between the lines.
If the bubble appears toward the rear of the machine, rotate the knob clockwise to move the bubble to
center.
If the bubble appears toward the motor, rotate the knob counter-clockwise to move the bubble to
center. It will be easier to make this adjustment by liing up on handle while turning the knob.

Belt Changing Instructions
1. Unplug machine from power source.
2. Remove the vacuum hose from the top of machine by twisting and sliding the hose cuff from the
tube just behind the front handle.
3. Place handle in the straight up position and latch there.
4. Remove any weights on machine.
5. Tilt handle back until handle rests on floor. Place a cloth beneath handle to protect floor.
6. Remove tool (if present) by prying the tool using a flat screwdriver or small pry bar. Use gloves for
this step.
7. Using a ½” wrench or socket remove the four (4) 5/16-18 hex bolts on the underside of the machine.
This will allow the dust cover to be removed from machine.
8. Raise machine back up to normal position.
9. Using a 9/16 wrench or socket, loosen, but DO NOT REMOVE the four (4) 3/8-16 bolts located on the
motor mounting plate. They should be loosened enough that the lock washer under the head can be
rotated by hand.
10. At the very rear of the machine locate the 3/8-16 tensioning bolt. This bolt connects to the motor
mounting plate beneath the liquid level. Using two 9/16 wrenches, hold the head of the bolt while using
the other to loosen the 3/8 nut on the shaft of the bolt.
11. Once the nut is loosened, turn the bolt head counter-clockwise to relieve tension on the motor
mount plate and therefore the belt. Continue loosening both the nut and bolt head in turn while sliding
the motor toward the front of machine.
12. Place your hand under frame of machine and work belt off of rear motor pulley.
13. To install new belt, tilt machine back and rest on floor as in step 4. Wrap belt around large pulley
first, then around motor pulley. Note, it may be necessary to slide the motor up in order to get the belt
around the motor pulley.
14. Using a 9/16 wrench or socket, tighten the 3/8 tensioning bolt (same bolt as in step 9) until belt is
snug. Set machine back upright.
15. Tighten the locking nut on the tension bolt using a 9/16 wrench while holding the head of the
tensioning bolt.
16. Using a 9/16 wrench or socket tighten the four (4) 3/8 bolts that secure the motor mounting plate
(same bolts as in step 8). Turn the large pulley by hand to make sure belt is properly tracking in the
pulleys. Tilt machine back until handle rests on floor.

10
17. Replace the dust cover using the four (4) 5/16 bolts, lock washers and flat washers. Tighten using a ½
wrench or socket.
18. Set machine upright and reinstall the vacuum hose onto the vacuum tube.
Bearing Inspection
To inspect the condition of the bearings in the large pulley it is necessary to first loosen the tension on
the belt. To do this, follow the steps 1-12 in the “Belt Change” section. Then tilt machine back until
resting on floor. After loosening the belt tension, move the pulley left to right to detect any movement
or play in the bearings. There should be almost no movement during this inspection. The more play, the
worse the condition of the bearings.
Bearing Replacement
This job requires a set of retaining ring plyers, safety glasses and the proper replacement bearings as
well as some general hand tools. The bearings used here are 6204 bearings with double seals. These are
available from Onfloor, part number 297623. It is very important to wear the safety glasses especially
when removing and installing the retaining rings. If you do not have retaining ring plyers they can be
purchased at Lowes, Home Depot, Harbor Freight, and other tool stores for about $30.
Once the bearings are determined to be in need of replacement, follow the steps below to remove the
pulley.
First, follow the steps in the section “Belt Changing Instructions” to remove the belt. Then follow the
steps below.
1. With the handle in the straight up position, tilt the machine to its right side so the machine is
resting on the side of the frame and one of the wheels. This makes the machine stable and less
likely to tip over.
2. Using a 15/16 socket with an extension, remove the nut and flat washer located in the center of
the pulley. The flat washer located behind the nut is a 16mm flat washer and not a standard SAE
type so be careful not to lose them as they may be challenging to purchase locally. Pull the
pulley straight out and away from the machine.
With the pulley removed we can proceed with bearing replacement. Look at the pulley from the back
and you will see the retaining ring that secures the bearings in place. Wearing your safety glasses and
using the retaining ring plyers remove the retaining ring.
Installation Using a Press
The best method to remove and install new bearings is to take the pulley to a hydraulic press and press
the bearings in and out. When using this method, it is important to properly support the pulley to allow
space for the old bearings to exit. This is accomplished by supporting the pulley as close to the center as
practical using 2 pieces of 2 x 4 lumber or 2 pieces of equal thickness steel. When pressing the old
bearings out it is acceptable to use almost any device as a pushing tool as long as it will fit through the
center opening without touching the pulley. This means a piece of metal tubing or rod or even a piece of

11
wood that will fit through a 1.29” diameter hole. The same 15/16 socket used to remove the nuts works
well for this. We do not need to be cautious about damaging the old bearings during removal. See
illustration page 12.
When installing the new bearings, first clean the surface of the opening where the bearings are to enter.
If your pulley has the 4 drive pins installed, I suggest removing them for this process. You will need a
7/16 deep well socket for this. Stand the pulley in the press resting on its front face. Use a pusher device
that will contact the OUTER RACE. It is important that you do NOT press on the inner race or seal to
install the bearings. This will damage the bearings and shorten their life. The best choice for a pushing
tool is a round rod/pipe or piece of wood that is 1-13/16” diameter that will pass through the opening in
the pulley. Many people use a large socket that makes contact with the outer race but fits through the
opening. The first bearing must be pressed all the way down to the bottom of the cavity, followed by the
spacer ring (you don’t want to forget this) then, finally the last bearing. Be careful not to over press
especially if you left the drive pins in the pulley. When properly installed the last bearing will be below
the retaining ring groove and the retaining ring should go in easily. See illustration page 12.
Installation without a Press
When using this method, use a short piece of wood (or 15/16 socket) and a mallet/hammer to drive the
old bearings from the pulley. Support the pulley on a piece of wood to prevent damaging it. We don’t
have to be cautious about damaging the old bearings during removal. As bearings are driven out, lift
pulley to allow exit. When installing the new bearings, first clean the surface of the opening where the
bearings are to enter. Turn the pulley over and rest its front face (or drive pins if present) on the piece of
wood. Place the first bearing in the center opening and place a flat piece of wood or steel across the top
of the bearing. See Illustration, page 12. It is important that you drive the bearing in straight AND that
you do this by applying force to the outer race. It is OK that the flat steel or wood is contacting the inner
race as long as the outer race is also in contact. Tap the wood/steel plate with the hammer and slowly
drive the bearing until it is flush with the top of the pulley. Now there are 2 ways to proceed. One is to
find a round object (large socket, steel tube, steel rod, etc.) that will contact the outer race and also fit
through the opening in the pulley and use this object to further tap the bearing to the bottom of the
cavity. The other way is to use a short wooden dowel ½ or ¾” in diameter and to tap the outer race with
small taps as you work the dowel around the perimeter of the outer race as you gradually drive the
bearing down to the bottom. When the first bearing is installed, follow with the spacer ring (you don’t
want to forget this) then; repeat the same process with the top bearing. Then install the retaining ring.
Reinstall drive pins, pulley, in reverse order.
Reinstall belt and dust cover as covered in the “Belt Change” section.
