IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS VACUUM CLEANER.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
Your machine is equipped with a safety switch lock and
•
power switch triggers designed for your safety. Do not
attempt to bypass or defeat the safety switch lock. Never
use any device to lock the power switch triggers in the
“ON” position.
Do not leave the floor machine when plugged in. Turn off
•
the switch and unplug the electrical cord when not in use
and before servicing or changing the brushes or pads.
Do not allow the machine to be used as a toy. Close
•
attention is necessary when used near children. Do not
leave the machine connected to an electrical outlet
unattended.
Use only as described in this manual. Use only
•
manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If the machine is
•
not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, or
left outdoors return it to a service center before using.
Use care to keep the electrical supply cord from contacting
•
the rotating brush or drive block.
• Do not pull, close a door on, or pull the cord around sharp
edges or corners. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Connect to properly grounded (3-wire) outlet only refer to
•
Grounding Instructions, Pg 3.
Do not use extensions cords or outlets with inadequate
•
current carrying capacity.
Turn off all controls before unplugging.
•
Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the
•

•
Wind the cord no tighter than is necessary to retain it during
•
storage. Refer to Cord Storage, Page 7.
Use extra care when working near stairs.
•
Do not use in conjunction with flammable or combustible
•
liquids such as gasoline, or use in areas where explosive
vapor or dust may be present.
Store your floor machine indoors in a cool, dry area.

Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, 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 equipmentgrounding 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 an equipment-grounding conductor
can result in 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 proper outlet
installed by a qualified technician.
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. A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated
in Figure 2 may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole
receptacle, as shown, 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, lug, 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.
OPERATION/ACCESSORIES
Choosing the Right Brush and Drive Block
Your floor machine is packed complete and ready for use after
you install a brush or drive block. (Brushes and pads are not
provided with the unit but are available at an additional cost.)
Your floor machine is designed to be used for many different
floor care applications. Make sure you use the correct brush
or pad for the type of job you want to perform. (Accessories
are available from the dealer from whom the floor machine
was purchased.)
When ordering brushes or drive blocks, refer to this chart and
specify correct brush or block diameter when ordering.
MACHINE SIZE BRUSH DIAMETER BLOCK DIAMETER
17” 17” 15”
20” 20” 18”
For floor finishing machines rated 150-250 volts:
If the machine is provided with an attachment plug cap as
shown in Fig. 3, it is intended for use on a 240 volt (nominal)
circuit. No adapter is available for this application.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not
permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

and upper handle section (Fig. 4). The brush and pad driver
both attach in the same manner: align the cutouts on the inner
ring of the brush or pad driver with the tabs on the inside of
the ring of the drive hub (Fig. 5). Push the brush or pad driver
firmly in position, then turn it counterclockwise until it locks
into place.

the belt does not slip, tighten the drive motor bolts. DO
NOT overtighten the drive belt.
To remove, turn the brush or pad driver clockwise until it stops,
then lift it off. Note: Always remove the brush or pad driver
when the machine is not in use.

CONTROLS
ON/OFF POWER SWITCH TRIGGERS
The ON/OFF switch is conveniently located in the form of
dual triggers underneath the handle grips.
To stop the machine, simply release the triggers. The safety
switch lock will automatically return to the engaged position.
USING THE 20” 175/300 rpm 2-speed FOR
BUFFING (Models SC6030, SC6035)
The model 20” 175/300 2-speed is a two-speed floor machine
designed for dual operation, scrubbing or buffing. A toggle
switch on the left side of the switch box selects the output
speed, 175 rpm for scrubbing or 300 rpm for buffing. Do not
operate this floor machine for buffing in low speed, it will not
do an effective job and tends to overload the motor
unnecessarily.
GUIDELINES FOR OPERATION
Your floor machine is a very sensitive, powerful unit. When
•
in operation, it should be guided gradually and smoothly
without sudden or rough motions. You will want to practice
with your machine on a smooth surface first until you have
experience in operating it.
• For ease of operation, always keep the brush or pad surface
level, balanced and flat on the floor at all times.
• Always adjust the operating handle to a comfortable height
at which the brush or pad surface is balanced before starting
the machine.
(see “Handle Adjustment” Page 5)
TO TURN THE MACHINE ON
The operating handle must be lowered to the operating position
before switching the machine ON. Place both hands firmly on
the handle grips with your fingers around the power triggers.
Do not apply pressure on the triggers before the safety switch
lock is disengaged.
Disengage the safety switch lock by pushing it forward with
one thumb. Then, while holding the safety switch lock in
disengaged position, squeeze the power triggers toward the
handle grips and return your thumb to the handle grip.
Push forward to disengage safety
switch lock.
• Your floor machine will operate differently on various
surfaces. For example, there will be much more resistance
when the machine is used with a brush on carpeted
surfaces than when it is used with a pad on a smooth
surface. The operator should be prepared to adjust for these
differences.
• BEGIN OPERATING THE FLOOR MACHINE WITH THE
BRUSH OR PAD SURFACE LEVEL, BALANCED AND
FLAT ON THE FLOOR.
• To move the machine to the right, slowly apply slight upward
pressure on the handle.
• To move the machine to the left, slowly apply slight
downward pressure on the handle.
• To move the machine forward or backward, keep brush or
pad flat on the floor and push or pull machine in the desired
direction.
DO NOT LET THE MACHINE REST ON THE PAD OR BRUSH
FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. This may alter the
shape of the pad or brush which may cause the machine to
wobble.

CORD STORAGE
When not in use, loosely wind the power cord around the
cord storage hook on the handle shaft and both of the handle
grips, as shown.
CLEAN UP AND STORAGE
After being used, your floor machine can be wiped clean with
a soft, damp cloth and should be stored in a clean, dry place.
