GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, ﬁre, and/or serious injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the pres-

ence of ﬂammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may

ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control. Provide barriers or shields as needed.

For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded

in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding

prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with

a qualiﬁed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly

grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding

provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). This plug will ﬁt in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug

does not ﬁt fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact

a qualiﬁed electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug

in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded

power cord and grounded power supply system.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,

and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is

grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools or

pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Dam-

aged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked

“W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the

risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating

this product. Do not use the Floor Machine while tired or under the inﬂuence

of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating this

product may result in serious personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.

Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the Power Cord remains unplugged from its

electrical outlet until this product is completely assembled and ready to use.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing

and balance enables better control of this product in unexpected situations.

For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

Use safety equipment. Wear eye protection when assembling this product.

Non-skid safety shoes must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the Floor Machine. Such pre-

ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the unit accidentally.

Store idle equipment out of reach of children and other untrained persons.

Electrically powered products are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and

any other condition that may affect this product’s operation. If damaged, have

the Floor Machine serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained equipment.

SERVICE

Service must be performed only by qualiﬁed repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualiﬁed personnel could result in a risk of injury.

When servicing this product, use only identical replacement parts. Follow

instructions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this

manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions

may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Maintain labels and nameplates on the Floor Machine. These carry important

information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replace-

ment.

Wear ANSI-approved safety impact eye goggles and non-slip foot-

wear when using the Floor Machine. Using personal safety devices

reduce the risk for injury.

Maintain a safe environment. Keep the area well lit. Make sure there is adequate

surrounding space. Always keep the area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash,

and other debris. Do not use an electrically powered product in areas near ﬂam-

mable chemicals, dusts, and vapors.

Never leave the Floor Machine unattended when it is plugged into an electrical

outlet. Turn off the Floor Machine and unplug the tool before leaving.

Carefully inspect the condition of the Floor Machine before use, and check

the tool continually during use. If any damage is noted, stop immediately and

repair or replace the Floor Machine.

For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

Avoid electrical shock. Make sure the Floor Machine is unplugged from its electrical outlet prior to performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures. Do not use the Floor Machine in the rain or in wet conditions. Plug the Power Cord of this unit only into a 3-hole, 115 volt, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), electrical outlet for addi-

tional protection from electric shock.

Use the right product for the job. There are certain applications for which this

product was designed. Do not use small tools, equipment, or accessories to do the

work of larger industrial tools, equipment, or accessories. Do not use this product

for a purpose for which it was not intended.

Do not allow children or other unauthorized people to handle or play with

this product.

Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, use only commercially available ﬂoor cleaners and

WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before

using this product. Electromagnetic ﬁelds in close proximity to a heart pacemaker

could cause interference to or failure of the pacemaker. In addition, people with

pacemakers should adhere to the following: Avoid operating power tools alone.

Don’t use a power tool with the Power Switch locked on. If powered via a Power

Cord be certain that the tool is properly grounded. A ground fault interrupt (GFCI)

system is also a good precaution. This inexpensive device is a good safety measure

because it prevents a sustained electrical shock. Properly maintain and inspect all

tools before use to avoid electrical shock.
