•
This
not use outdoors. Do not expose to rain.
•
Do not wash the motor with flowing water. If the motor
gets wet, seek authorized service.

Keep the vents on this air-cooled motor free from debris.
Do not operate with the motor covered or with vents
blocked. Do not use this machine as a floor sander.
•
Never operate this floor machine near flammable dusts,

operate this floor machine with bare feet.
•
Unplug the floor machine when not in use and when
servicing the equipment. To unplug, grasp the plug not
the cord.
•
Do not operate a floor machine with damaged handle
controls, cord or plug. If the equipment is not performing
properly, seek repair from a qualified service supplier.
•
This floor machine is constructed with electrical
grounding at the plug. Operate only when connected to a
properly grounded outlet. See section 1.2 for grounding
details.
•
Prevent electrical cord abuse. Do not close a door
upon the cord, drive equipment over it, or run the floor
machine over it. Do not expose the cord to hot surfaces.
Do not lift, pull or carry this floor machine by the cord.
•
Never operate the floor machine over sharp objects that

1.1 Electrical Power
This floor machine operates on a 15 amp nominal 115V, 60 Hz, A.C. power circuit. The,
amp, hertz and voltage ratings are listed on the motor spec label found on each floor
machine. Using voltages above or below those indicated on the spec label will damage
the motor. Always check your local voltage requirements.
1.2 Grounding Instruction
This floor machine must be grounded while in
use to protect the operator from electrical shock.
This machine is built with a 3-wire cord and a
3-prong grounding-type plug (Figure 1) to fit a
properly grounded receptacle.
Before using this floor machine, make sure a
properly grounded, 3-hole electrical outlet is
available. If not available, as in some older
facilities, use an adapter for connecting a
3-prong plug to a 2-prong receptacle (Figure 2)
to ground the outlet chassis.
IMPORTANT!! This adaptor may not be used
in Canada.
IMPORTANT!! Never cut off the grounding
prong for use in a 2-prong outlet. By doing so,
you have cut off your protection from electrical
shock.
Never assume that all 3-hole outlets are
properly grounded. Check before use.
Never assume that an adaptor connection
(as in Figure 2) is properly grounded. Check
the outlet with a ground fault interrupter
device which quickly indicated if a ground is
connected. Correct a faulty grounding before
proceeding.
1.3 Extension Cords are Not Recommended
The floor machine is built with a 50 foot (15 M) safety cord which plugs directly into an
approved outlet. Use of any extension cords is NEVER RECOMMENDED.
