OPERATION

2 Unlatch the handle by pushing forward on the Handle Release Latch
with your foot. Continue to hold latch while pulling the handle 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 firmly, push the Safety Lock
Button and then compress the switch levers to start the motor. NOTE:
When the dual controlled switch levers 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.
