IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To assure the safe operation of this machine, you must read and understand all warnings and instructions in this book. If you
do not understand, ask your supervisor.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
1. You must be trained to operate this machine. This machine is to be operated for its intended use only.
2. Do not operate this machine unless it is completely assembled.
3. Always use a three-wire electrical system connected to the electrical ground. For maximum protection against electrical
shock, use a circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. Consult your electrical contractor.
4. To prevent electric shock, always remove the electrical plug from the electrical outlet before doing any repairs or mainte-
nance and when leaving the machine unattended.
5. To prevent electric shock, keep the machine surface dry. Do not subject to rain. Store the machine in a dry building area.
Clean the machine with a dry cloth only.
6. Machines can cause an explosion when near flammable materials and vapors. Do not use this machine with or near fuels,
grain dust, solvents, thinners, or other flammable materials. Do not use flammables to clean this machine.
7. A qualified or authorized person must do maintenance and repairs.
8. To prevent damage to the power cord, do not move this machine over the power cord. Always lift the power cord over the
machine. Do not pull or carry cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
9. Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If the machine is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
This machine 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 machine is equipped with a cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
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 machine - if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in figure A. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in figures B and C may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in figure B if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (figure A) can be installed by a qualified electri-
cian. 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 outlet
box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only three-wire 12/3 or larger gauge approved extension cords that have
three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the
appliance’s plug. Replace or repair any damaged cords or plugs.
When servicing, refer to authorized person only. Use only identical replace-
ment parts.
Grounding Instructions
NOTE: Do not use adapters shown in figures B & C in Canada

OPERATING PROCEDURES
WARNING! For the safe operation of this machine follow
the instructions given in this manual and the training given
by your supervisor. Failure to do so can result in personal
injury and/or damage to machine and property!
DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ENVIRONMENT!
This machine is intended for commercial use.
PREPARATION
To prepare the machine for operation, make sure it is of cor-
rect voltage and properly assembled.
Your new floor machine operates in the normal side to side
motion of a conventional single disc machine. Be prepared
before starting by removing all obstructions or other ob-
stacles in the area to be cleaned. Check the proper applica-
tion recommendations and procedures found on the label of
your cleaning or finish container. IF IN DOUBT, CALL
YOUR SUPERVISOR .
WARNING! NEVER USE THIS MACHINE WITH
FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL!
For Scrubbing or Polishing: Select the correct floor pad
or brush (your supplier can help you). If in doubt, ask your
supervisor.
NEVER OPERATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE
FLOOR PAD OR BRUSH INSTALLED!
To properly attach the brush, UNPLUG THE FLOOR
MACHINE, place the handle in the vertical position, then
tilt the machine back until the handle rests on the floor.
Straddle the handle, facing the motor, and grasp the brush
with the block toward you. Place the brush or pad clutch
plate over the three lugs on the motor drive adapter. Twist
the brush right to lock it into position. To remove the brush,
UNPLUG THE MACHINE and follow the same procedure
as above, but by twisting the brush off with a firm jerk to
the left. Remove the brush or pad driver when the ma-
chine is not in use. This will help prevent brush damage
and reduce wobble problems.
OPERATION
Plug the machine’s power cable into a properly grounded
outlet (see Safety Instructions). Next, adjust the handle
height to a comfortable position.
Pull out on the “Watch Dog” Safety Lock button and start
the machine by depressing either the left or right switch
levers.
Both hands should be placed on the handle when the ma-
chine is in operation. The machine will glide sideways
over the floor by a slight raising and lowering of the handle.
Raise the handle slightly to go to the right. Lower the
handle slightly to go left. Releasing the switch lever stops
the machine at once.
MAINTENANCE
AFTER EACH USE: Store the machine in a clean dry
area. Wipe the entire machine and cord down with a clean
cloth. Remove the pad or brush and clean thoroughly. Wrap
the machine’s electrical cord onto the handles and the cord
hook provided. CHECK the cord and plug for nicks, cuts
or damage. Report these to your supervisor for correction.
WARNING! Always disconnect the machine’s electri-
cal plug from the electrical outlet before performing any
service, maintenance, pad changing or inspection of the
machine.
MOTOR: The motor is lubricated for life under normal
use. No oiling or greasing is necessary. However, if the
machine is used in dusty areas or is used for spray buffing,
the motor should be cleaned. Blowing the motor out with
compressed air or with the exhaust from a vacuum is sug-
gested. Keeping the motor clean will allow the clear pas-
sage of air for ventilation and prevent overheating. If you
have any questions regarding the maintenance of your floor
machine, ASK YOUR SUPERVISOR.
