ON/OFF POWER SWITCH TRIGGERS
The ON/OFF switch is conveniently located in the form of
dual triggers underneath the handle grips.
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.
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)
• 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.
