HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE
• Plug the machine in as directed and lower the handle to the desired operating
height and lock in place using the cam lever handle. Push the safety switch for-
ward (Fig 4) and squeeze the switch triggers beneath the handle grips. This
activates the motor and starts the block, brush or attachment in operation.
Each time you release the triggers the safety switch will reset. You will need to
follow the direction above to restart the machine. CAUTION: When leaving the
machine unattended, disconnect the wall plug and return the handle to the
“locked” upright position to prevent accidental starting .
• Push the machine forward in a straight line, at a slow walking speed. Overlap
each pass by about 1 inch (25 mm).
AFTER USING THE MACHINE
• Upon completion, dust mop with treated mop to pick up all burnishing residue.
• The condition of the floor pad has direct affect on the performance of your bur-
nisher. When the pad becomes dirty, turn it over and use the other side. When
finished, wash the pad out and allow it to dry completely before using again.
• Unplug the power cord and wrap it under the cord hook and over the right han-
dle grip.
• Tip the machine back and remove floor pad.
• Wipe off the machine housing and the cord. This will prevent build-up of
unnecessary residue.
TRANSPORTING
Use the rear wheels for transporting the P1600 and P2000 Glazers. This will
insure that the operating wheels remain clean and smooth for use on clean floor
surfaces. (Fig 5)
MAINTENANCE
• Once a month, remove the motor cover of the unplugged P1600 and P2000
Glazers by removing the motor cover screws.
• Vacuum out any dust or debris which has accumulated in the motor. (Fig 6)
• Replace motor cover and replace the motor cover screws.
• Check and maintain tightness of all fasteners.
WARNING: do not over-tighten switch housing screws.
• Keep the burnisher clean, especially at the handle tube and collar so the
handle tube will move freely through the collar.
• Inspect cord and plug for cuts, gashes or loose prongs; replace as needed.
• The length of the carbon brushes should be inspected annually. If they are no
longer extended past the holder window, they should be replaced.
• Replacement of carbon brushes should be done only by a qualified service
technician.
• Disassembly of this motor voids the warranty.
• Improper disassembly and assembly of this motor can permanently damage
the armature.

Your new Ultra High Speed Burnisher will afford you many years of trouble-free operating satisfaction provided it is
given proper care. Prior to packaging, your Ultra High Speed Burnisher was inspected by a Quality Control Technician.
UNCRATING
Y
our Ultra High Speed Burnisher was protectively packed to prevent damage in
shipment. We suggest that upon removing the unit from its carton, you carefully
inspect it for any possible damage in transit. If damage is discovered, immediate-
ly notify the transportation company who delivered your machine. As a manufac-
turer, we are unable to act upon any claim for concealed damage; you must origi-
nate the claim.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
This machine is designed to be safe when used to perform the functions speci-
fied in this Operator’s Manual. Should damage occur to electrical or mechanical
parts, the machine should be repaired by the manufacturer or competent service
station before using in order to avoid further damage to the machine or physical
injury to user. Your floor machine is equipped with a safety switch lockout device
designed for your safety. Do not attempt to bypass or defeat the safety lockout
device. Never use any device to lock the power switch triggers in the ON posi-
tion.
INSTRUCTIONS
Application
The P1600 and P2000 Glazers Ultra High Speed Burnishers are used to
achieve and/or maintain a high gloss appearance on an established floor finish.
The high pad revolution of the floor burnisher combined with a good polishing
pad will turn properly established cleaned floor finish into a high gloss, hardened
finish known as the “wet look shine”. Recommended pads are beige or white
synthetic pads, or the natural hogs hair blended pads.
Preparation of Surface
Before each use of this machine, the floor must be dust mopped with a treated
mop and if necessary clean the floor with a damp mop, using a solution of
water and neutral cleaner.
PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR OPERATION
WARNING: To prevent injury, always remove the electrical plug from the electrical
outlet before changing the polishing pad and before leaving the machine.
• With the handle locked, tip the machine back until the handle is lying flat on the floor.
• To remove the pad-lock pad holder from the flexible pad driver, grasp the center sup-
port with your thumb and forefinger and turn the collar counter-clockwise. (Fig 1)
• Place a clean or new 20” buffing pad over the alignment ring on the pad holder.
• Replace the collar by turning clockwise until snug. (Fig 2)
• Step back and lift the burnisher to the upright position.
• Connect the power cord into a grounded, 3-wire outlet.
• The P1600 and P2000 Glazers should be operated with the handle in the unlocked
“floating” position to provide excellent maneuverability and automatic pad contact.
The P1600 and P2000 Glazers is designed for maintenance of large, open
areas. To prevent excessive pad drag or uneven burnishing where tight, repet-
itive turns are necessary, lock the handle for manual control of pad contact.
NOTE: The hardened steel cam release lever does not require extreme
tightening to effectively hold the handle in position. Over-tightening will
shorten the functional life of the lever. (Fig 3)

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This Floor Machine should be grounded while in use to pro-
tect the operator from electric shock. This machine is equipped
with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounded type attach-
ment cap plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The
green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the ground-
ing wire. Never connect this wire to anything other than the
grounding blade.
The Floor machine is provided with an attachment cap plug,
as shown in Sketch A, and is intended for use on a nominal 120
volt circuit. If a properly grounded receptacle, as shown in
Sketch A, is unavailable, an adaptor, as shown in Sketch C, is
available and should be installed, as shown in Sketch B, if the
outlet box that houses the receptacle is grounded. Be sure to
fasten the grounding tap to the faceplate screw.
These guidelines are presented for your protection and con-
venience. Please read them carefully, since a failure to heed
these precautions could result in discomfort or injury. When
using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should
always be followed.
