120VAC 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 qualifi 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 fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualifi 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 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 qualifi ed 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 minimum wire size, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and outlets. DO NOT

use extension cords more than 50 feet (15 m) long.

PLEASE NOTE: FOR NORTH AMERICA ONLY

MACHINE SETUP

To prepare the machine for use follow this procedure:
1 Familiarize yourself with the machine. Read all danger, warning, and caution statements and the Operation and Parts Manual before

operating the machine.
2 Install or replace the Pad (10). The pad should be replaced if it has become matted down to a thickness of 3/8” (9.5mm) or less. To install or

replace the pad, follow these instructions:
a.) Lock the Operator Handle (6) in the upright position.
b.) Tilt the machine back until it fully rests on the Handle (6).
c.) Standing over the machine, remove existing pad then center new pad over grip face.
d.) Press Pad (10) against grip face until the hooks in the driver have set in the pad. See Figure 3.
e.) Return machine to the upright position.

CAUTION!

Damage to the grip face will occur if the machine is operated without a pad or with a pad that is 3/8” (9.5 mm) or thinner.

WARNING!

Never put yourself or let others be in a position to get injured if the machine should tip or fall, while replacing the pad or changing abrasive. Injury
can occur if the machine is connected to a power source while installing the pad or abrasive. Disconnect the machine before installing the pad or
abrasive.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS – FLOOR FINISH RECOAT PREP

To operate the machine with an abrasive, follow this procedure:
1 Move machine to work location. Decide the best approach to abrading the desired area. When operating the machine, work so that you are

moving away from the power supply. This will help to avoid entanglement with the power cord and reduce the need to move the power cord
as frequently.

2 Install the abrasive. Use the same procedure outlined in MACHINE SETUP for installing the pad. To install the abrasive, peel the fi lm off the

back of the abrasive; center the abrasive over the pad and press it against the pad. The adhesive on the abrasive will hold it to the pad.

NOTE: When using screen or pad abrasive, set the screen on the fl oor then move the machine over the screen. Lower the machine until the

pad comes to rest on the screen. Make sure the screen is centered on the pad.

WARNING!

Injury can occur if the machine is connected to a power source while installing the pad or abrasive. Disconnect the machine before installing the
pad or abrasive.
3 Connect the machine to an appropriately fused and grounded circuit.
4 Machine may be operated with the handle in the vertical position or lowered. Release the handle by pulling up on the Handle Release

Compression Lever (4). Bring the handle to a comfortable position, and lock the handle.

5 See Figure 4. Push the Switch Lever Safety Lock Button (2), and apply pressure to the Switch Levers (3). To stop the machine, release the

Switch Levers (3).

CAUTION!

To prevent damage to the fl ooring and to reduce swirling, keep the machine in motion while the motor is running.

FM810 XP – SWITCH BETWEEN WHEELS-UP AND WHEELS-DOWN OPERATION

This model may be operated with the rear wheels up so that the pad deck is fl oating. Or it may be operated with the wheels down and in contact
with the fl oor. In the down position, the machine moves forward and backward much like a lawn mower and is more controllable and less
fatiguing. To switch between wheels up or wheels down position, activate the Lever (8) as shown in Figure 5 while applying pressure on the
handle to lift the wheels.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - SCRUBBING

To operate the machine as a scrubber, follow this procedure:
1 Move machine to work location. Decide the best approach to scrubbing the desired area. When scrubbing the area, work so that you are

moving away from the power supply. This will help to avoid entanglement with the power cord and reduce the need to move the power cord

as frequently.
2 Follow the procedure outlined in MACHINE SETUP for installing the pad.

WARNING!

Injury can occur if the machine is connected to a power source while installing the pad. Disconnect the machine before installing the pad.
3 Connect the machine to an appropriately fused and grounded circuit.
4 Release the handle by pulling up on the Handle Release Compression Lever (4). Bring the handle to a comfortable position, and lock the

handle.
