ﬂ Do not leave the machine unattended when it is

plugged in. Turn off all switches and unplug the electrical cord when not in use and before servicing.

ﬂ Do not allow to be used by untrained personnel.

Close attention is necessary when used near children.

ﬂ Avoid electrical shock, do not handle the plug or

ﬂ Do not use extension cords or outlets with

inadequate current carrying capacity. Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. Connect the machine only to a properly grounded outlet. Avoid damaging cord (closing doors on cord, pulling around sharp edges or corners, hot surfaces, or running machine over cord).

ˇ This machine has an exposed, rotating brush.

Contact with this brush or with a thrown object that the brush may contact, can cause severe injury. Keep loose clothing, hands, feet and all other parts of the body away from the rotating brush. Avoid contact of the machine with loose items in the area to be cleaned.

ˇ Do not attempt to bypass or defeat the lock-off

switch or dead-man trigger bar.

ˇ Do not operate machine on a floor that is dam-

aged or has loose tiles.

CAUTION

ˇ For commercial use only. ˇ Check the rating plate to see if the voltage

agrees within 10% of the voltage available.

ﬂ Use machine only as described in this manual.

Do not use in ways it was not intended. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments.

ﬂ If the machine is not working as it should, has

been dropped, damaged, or left outdoors, return it to a service center before using.

wrong pad can damage floor or machine.

ˇ Avoid damaging floor, keep machine moving

while in operation.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Figure 1

This machine must be grounded to protect the operator from electric shock. Do not modify the plug provided with the machine. This machine is equipped with a cord having a grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Improper connection of an equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock.

UNPACKING AND SET UP

Carefully inspect all components to insure that there is no concealed freight damage. If such damage is discovered, file a Damage Report immediately with the delivering carrier.

This machine is packed fully-assembled and only requires that a pad be installed before use.

PREPARATION

INSTALLING AND REMOVING A PAD

Figure 2, 3

WARNING: BEFORE ANY SERVICING, AVOID

POSSIBLE INJURY OR ELECTRIC SHOCK BY DISCONNECTING THE POWER CORD FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET.

To install a pad, lock handle in the upright position. Tip machine backwards on rear wheels so the handle is resting on the floor, exposing the pad driver. Remove the clamping plate (A) by turning it counter clockwise. Center the pad on the driver, and press it on. Replace the clamping plate and tighten by turning clockwise.

CAUTION: Prevent damage to floor or machine,

use pads rated for the speed of your machine.

HANDLE ADJUSTMENT

Figure 4

To unlock, pull upwards on the handle locking lever and tilt to the desired position.

CIRCUIT BREAKER

Figure 5

The motor is protected from overload by a manual reset circuit breaker located on the side of the control box. Should the circuit breaker ‘open’, unplug the power supply cord from the electrical outlet. Find and correct the cause of the overload condition (see “TROUBLE SHOOTING” section). After one minute, press the reset button on the circuit breaker to continue.

MOTOR BRUSH REPLACEMENT LIGHT

Figure 6

This light located on the motor cover indicates that replacement of the motor carbon brushes is required. Contact your local authorized service center for repairs.

P AD PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

(2500 RPM MODELS)

Figure 7

The pad pressure adjustment knob is located at the front of the pad cover. Turn it counterclockwise to increase pad pressure, clockwise to decrease pressure. Adjust the pressure to obtain the desired results. The pad pressure meter, located in the motor cover , displays the amount of amperage load on the motor. When excessive pressure is being used, the needle will be in the “red zone” and the circuit breaker may shut off motor.

CAUTION: Excessive pad pressure will cause damage to floor, to the machine, or to the pad driver.

OPERATION

WARNING: DO NOT START THE MACHINE WITH THE HANDLE IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION.

Adjust the handle to the desired operating position. Begin operating the machine with the pad surface flat on the floor.

T o start machine, place both hands firmly on the handle grips with your fingers around the trigger bars. Using one thumb, push forward on the lock-off switch. While holding the lock-off switch forward, squeeze the trigger bars toward the handle grips.

WARNING: MACHINE WILL MOVE SIDEWAYS WHEN ST ARTING, BE PREPARED T O CONTROL THE MACHINE.

During operation, the weight of the machine remains on the larger wheels that stay on the floor. The pad shroud should lightly contact the floor while moving the machine forward.

To stop the machine, release both sides of the trigger bar. Maintain control, do not remove your hands until the machine comes to a complete stop.

CAUTION: T o avoid damage to floor, keep machine moving while pad is turning.

CLEAN UP AND STORAGE

Figure 8 Wipe the machine clean using a soft, damp cloth.

Wind the power supply cord loosely around the cord hook and the handle grips as shown. Store the machine in a cool, dry location. Avoid damage to pad, remove it when machine is not in use.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: BEFORE ANY SERVICING, A VOID POSSIBLE INJURY OR ELECTRIC SHOCK BY DISCONNECTING THE POWER CORD FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET.

HANDLE LOCK LEVER ADJUSTMENT

With the handle lock lever in the upward, unlocked position, tighten the lock nut (turning clockwise) until there is a slight resistance by the clamp on the handle when the handle is raised and lowered. Then loosen the lock nut one turn (counterclockwise).

DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT

Figure 9, 10

Loosen the four screws securing the drive motor to the frame. Adjust the belt tension by turning the two screws at the rear of the frame. Turn the screws clockwise to increase belt tension, counterclockwise to decrease belt tension. Adjust the two screws the same amount, in order to keep uniform belt tension. Tighten the four screws securing the drive motor to the frame. Check belt tension and readjust if necessary.

CAUTION: Do not overtighten the belt tension. This will cause excessive noise and premature motor, belt or bearing failure.

DUST FILTER CLEANING

This filter will capture the dust produced during floor finishing. For best results, remove and clean before each use. The filter can be cleaned using compressed air or by washing with warm soapy water. After washing, allow the filter to dry thoroughly before reinstalling.
