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. If you
or the operator are unable to read English, have this
manual fully explained before attempting to operate this
machine.
2. Install or replace pad. The pad should be replaced if
it has become matted down to a thickness of 3/8" (9,5
mm) or less. To install or replace the pad, follow these
instructions:
A. Lock handle in the upright position.
B. Tilt the machine back until it fully rests on the
handle.
C. Standing over the machine, remove existing pad
then center new pad over grip face.
D. Press pad against grip face until the hooks in the
driver have set in the pad (see Figure 3).
E. Return machine to the upright position.
This floor-finishing machine shall be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. The machine is provided
with a three-conductor cord and a three contact grounding attachment plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green
(or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect this wire to other than the grounding pin of the
attachment plug.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that resembles the plug illustrated as (A) in the
sketch. Make sure that the machine is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be
used with this machine.
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.
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
