OPERATION
1
Unwrap the Power Cord (5) and plug it in to an outlet.
2
Unlatch the Operator Handle (6) by pushing forward on the Handle
Release Latch (4) with your foot. Continue to hold latch (4) while pulling
the handle (6) back. It is normal for the base of the machine to lift off
of the floor slightly when the handle is lowered. It will pull itself down
against the floor as soon as the motor is started.
3
Hold one of the Operator Hand Grips (1) firmly, push the Safety Lock
Button (2) and then compress the Switch Levers (3) to start the motor.
NOTE: The Safety Lock Button (2) will not depress unless the Operator
Handle (6) has been released and tilted back into the operating
position. When the dual controlled Switch Levers (3) are released, the
machine shuts off immediately.
4
Push the machine forward in a straight line, at a slow walking speed.
Overlap each pass about 1-3 inches (25-75 mm).
5
When using a polishing pad, check every 15 minutes to see if the pad
is loaded up with wax and dirt. If it is, turn the pad over to expose the
clean side, or install a clean pad.
