PAGE 3
This floor machine must be
grounded. If it should malfunction
or breakdown, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for elec-
trical 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 proper-
ly 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.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury;
Read all instructions before using this floor machine.
WARNING:
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electrical shock.
DANGER:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS & METHODS
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical 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 machine. If it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
NOTE: In Canada, use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
WARNING:
1) DO NOT leave the floor machine plugged
in when not in use. Unplug from the outlet
when not in use and/or before servicing.
2) Electric shock could occur if exposed to
rain. Store indoors.
3) This is NOT a toy. Close attention is nec-
essary when used around or near children.
4) Use only as described in this manual. Use
only manufacturer's recommended attach-
ments.
5) DO NOT use with damaged cord plug. If
the floor machine is not working as it should
because it has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, contact the
manufacturer or authorized service center.
6) DO NOT handle the plug or operate with
wet hands.
7) DO NOT pull or carry by cord, use power
cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or
pull cord around sharp edges or corners. DO
NOT run floor machine over the cord. Keep
cord away from heated surfaces.
8) DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord. To
unplug, grasp plug, not the power cord.
9) DO NOT put any object into motor open-
ings.
10) Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all
parts of body away from moving parts.
11) DO NOT use an optional vacuum with-
out the manufacturer’s filters in place.
12) DO NOT operate where anesthetics and
oxygen are used.
13) DO NOT use an extension cord.
14) DO NOT use around flammable or com-
bustible liquids such as gasoline or use in
areas where they may be present.
15) Replace damaged or worn parts immedi-
ately with genuine Grind ’N Go equipment
parts to maintain safety and protect your lim-
ited warranty.
16) Floor sanding can result in an explo-
sive mixture of fine dust and air. Use a
floor sanding machine only in a well ven-
tilated area.
17) DO NOT leave sawdust in the filter
bag when sander is not in use, this is a
fire hazard.
This floor machine must be connected to
a properly grounded outlet only. (See
grounding method below.)
This floor sander 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 until 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 connect-
ed to a permanent ground such as a properly ground-
ed outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used,
it must be held in place by the metal screw (Fig C).

Before Installation Or Changing
Attachments:
1) Unplug the machine from the wall outlet.
Note: When power is disconnected from machine for
any reason, wait a FULL TWO MINUTES before
reconnecting power. Failure to follow this step may
cause damage to the VFD.
2) Ensure handle is in the storage position (straight up)
and locked in place with the quick release pin.
3) Tilt machine back by bracing it with your foot until
the handle is laying on the floor and the three heads
are fully exposed.
Note: It is recommended that a towel or pad is placed
under the machine to protect the floor.
Changing and Installation of Attachments
When installing or removing attachments, always wear
protective gloves.
1) Position the first attachment head at 12 o’clock.
2) Using both hands, reach beneath the bottom side of
the attachment and pull up towards yourself to free it
from the machine.
3) Select the attachment required for the job, and line
up the holes on the attachment with the four metal
pins protruding from each of the three heads.
4) Push attachments on by hand and if necessary, care-
fully tap it into place with a rubber mallet.
5) Repeat steps 1 thru 4 with the remaining 2 attach-
ments.

level with the attachments. This will ensure clean and
virtually dust-free operation.
