IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
WARNING:
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY OR BE FATAL. PLEASE READ THE
FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE USE
AND OPERATIONS OF FLOOR FINISHING
MACHINES.
• Your equipped with a safety switch lock and power switch triggers designed for your
safety. Do not attempt to bypass or defeat the safety switch lock. Never use any device
to lock the power switch triggers in the “ON” position.
• Do not leave the unit plugged in. Turn o the switch and unplug the electrical cord
when not in use and before servicing or changing the brushes or pads.
• Do not allow the machine to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used
near children. Do not leave the machine connected to an electrical outlet unattended.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer’s recommended
attachments.
• Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If the machine is not working as it should, has
been dropped, damaged, or left outdoors, return it to a service center before using.
• Use care to keep the electrical supply cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep the cord
away from the heated surfaces.
• Connect to properly grounded (3-wire) outlet only. Refer to Grounding Instructions,
Page 5-6.
• Do not use extension cords or outlets with inadequate current carrying capacity.
• Turn o all controls before unplugging.
• Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull.

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 that has an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
FOR FLOOR FINISHING MACHINES RATED LESS THAN
150 VOLTS
Improper connection of an equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualied 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 t the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120
volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 1.
A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure 2 may be used to connect this
plug to a two pole receptacle, as shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualied
electrician. 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 one metal screw.
FOR FLOOR FINISHING MACHINES RATED 150-220 VOLTS:
If the machine is provided with an attachment plug cap as shown in Figure 3, it is intended for use on
a 240 volt (nominal) circuit. No adapter is available for this cap.
WARNING:
RISK OF EXPLOSION. FLOOR SANDING
MACHINE CAN RESULT IN AN EXPLOSIVE
MIXTURE OF FINE DUST AND AIR. USE FLOOR
SANDING MACHINE ONLY IN A
WELL-VENTILATED AREA, FREE FROM ANY
FLAME OR MATCH

WARNING:
DO NOT USE GROUNDING
ADAPTERS ON THE UNIT IN
CANADA. CHECK WITH CANADIAN CODE
FOR PROPER EQUIPMENT USAGE.
IMPROPER USE OF GROUND ADAPTERS CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, FIRE, OR BE FATAL.

CONTROLS
TO TURN THE MACHINE ON
The operating handle must be lowered and locked to the proper operating 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 forward 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.
To stop the machine, simply release the triggers. The safety switch lock will automatically return to the
engaged position.
GUIDELINES FOR OPERATION
• Your Square Cat GTX is a very sensitive, powerful unit. When in operation, it should be guided
gradually and smoothly without sudden or rough motions. You will want to practice with your
machine on a smooth surface until you have experience in operating it.
• For ease of operation, the pad surface will always remain level, balanced, and at on the oor at all
times.
• Always adjust the operating handle to a comfortable height. (See Handle Adjustment Page 4)
• Your unit will operate dierently on various surfaces. For example, there will be much more resist-
ance when the machine is used on a rough surface, than when it is used on a smooth surface. The
operator should be prepared to adjust for these dierences.
• BEGIN OPERATING THE SQUARE CAT GTX MAKING SURE THAT THE BACKER PAD IS
ALWAYS INSTALLED
• To move the machine to the right, guide the unit to the right.
• To move the machine to the left, guide the unit to the left.
• To move the machine forward or backward, push or pull the machine in the desired direction.
Push forward to disen-
gage safety switch lock.
