GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having 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.

DANGER!

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 appliance.
If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified 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 below. A temporary
adapter illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure 2 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 qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, tab, 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. Grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.

Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
The Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached to the grounding pin only.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and outlets. DO NOT use extension cords

more than 50 feet (15 m) long.

OPERATION

1 Unwrap the Power Cord (5) and plug it in to an outlet.
2 Unlatch the Operator Handle (6) by pushing forward on the Handle

Release Latch (4) with your foot. Continue to hold latch (4) while pulling
the handle (6) back. It is normal for the base of the machine to lift off
of the floor slightly when the handle is lowered. It will pull itself down
against the floor as soon as the motor is started.

Button (2) and then compress the Switch Levers (3) to start the motor.
NOTE: The Safety Lock Button (2) will not depress unless the Operator
Handle (6) has been released and tilted back into the operating
position. When the dual controlled Switch Levers (3) are released, the
machine shuts off immediately.

4 Push the machine forward in a straight line, at a slow walking speed.

Overlap each pass about 1-3 inches (25-75 mm).

5 When using a polishing pad, check every 15 minutes to see if the pad

is loaded up with wax and dirt. If it is, turn the pad over to expose the
clean side, or install a clean pad.

AFTER USE

1 Lift the Operator Handle (6) until it locks in the upright position. NOTE:

The Safety Lock Button (2) will not depress unless the Operator Handle
(6) has been released and tilted back into the operating position. This

(4) and the right Operator Handle Grip (1).

3 Check the skirt around the dust control housing. The skirt should be

replaced if it is worn out or torn.

4 Remove the pad from the machine. Clean the pad and hang it up to dry.

Allow buffing pads to dry

5 Wipe the entire machine with a clean, damp cloth.
6 Inspect the entire machine and all accessories for damage. Perform any

required maintenance or repairs before storage.

7 Store the machine in a clean, dry place with the Operator Handle (6)

locked in the upright position.

completely before using again.

MAINTENANCE
C - DUST COLLECTION BAG

The dust collection bag should be removed and replaced after about every 20
hours of use. Tip the machine back onto it’s handle (6), the same as you would
if you were changing the pad. Squeeze in on the sides of the bag cover “A” and
remove it from the machine. Remove the dust bag “B” (being careful not to spill
any debris) and discard. Tip the machine back upright. Push in on the sides of
the new bag “B” to pop-it-open and install it by pushing it down (grip the cardboard
base of the bag) onto the (2) tubes protruding from the base. Re-install the cover
“A”.

MOTOR BRUSHES

INSTRUCCIONES DE CONEXIÓN A TIERRA

Esta máquina debe estar conectada a tierra. Si funcionase mal eléctricamente, la conexión a tierra brinda una ruta de menor resistencia para
la corriente eléctrica, con lo que se reduce el riesgo de descargas eléctricas. Este artefacto está equipado con un cable que cuenta con un
conductor para conexión a tierra del equipo y con un enchufe de conexión a tierra. El enchufe debe insertarse en un tomacorriente adecuado,
que esté correctamente instalado y conectado a tierra según todos los códigos y regulaciones locales.

¡PELIGRO!:

Una mala conexión del conductor de la toma de tierra del equipo puede resultar en un riesgo de descarga eléctrica. Consulte con
un electricista acreditado o con el personal del servicio técnico en caso de tener dudas respecto de la conexión a tierra. No modifique
el enchufe que se suministra con el artefacto. Si no es adecuado para el tomacorriente, haga que un electricista acreditado le instale
un tomacorriente adecuado.

Este artefacto debe utilizarse en un circuito con 120 voltios de tensión nominal, y cuenta con un enchufe con conexión a tierra que es similar al
enchufe que se muestra en la Figura 1 más abajo. Puede utilizarse un adaptador temporal que se ilustra en las figuras 2 y 3 para conectar este
enchufe a un receptáculo de 2 polos, tal y como se ve en la Figura 2, si no dispone de un tomacorriente adecuado. El adaptador temporal debe
usarse sólo hasta que un electricista acreditado pueda instalar un tomacorriente debidamente conectado a tierra (Figura 1). La orejeta, lengüeta
o accesorio similar de color verde, que sale del adaptador, debe ser conectado a una toma de tierra permanenete, como por ejemplo la cubierta
de la caja de un tomacorriente adecuadamente conectado a tierra. Siempre que se utilice el adaptador, hay que mantenerlo fijo en su lugar
mediante un tornillo metálico. En Canadá no se permite el uso de adaptadores de toma de tierra.

Si la terminal de tierra está dañada o rota, cambie el enchufe.
El hilo verde (o verde/amarillo) del cable es el hilo de tierra. Al cambiar el enchufe, este hilo se debe adosar únicamente a la terminal de tierra.
Los cables de extensión conectados a esta máquina deben ser de calibre 12, de tres hilos, con enchufes y tomacorrientes de tres puntas. NO

USE cables de extensión que superen 50 pies (15 m) de longitud.
