IMPORTANT NOTES
Before starting to use the machine please observe the following points:
- If you should discover any damage when unpacking the machine please inform your sale agen-
cy.
- The supply voltage must be the same as that shown on the nameplate.
FOR ALL GROUNDED APPLIANCES
This appliance should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from elettric shock. The
appliance is equiped with an approval three-conductor european cord and three-prog grounding
type plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow ) conductor
in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live
terminal.
OPERATION OF HIGH SPEED FLOOR MACHINES
Fiorentini high speed floor machines are designed to be used with a forward and backward mo-
vement. It will not swing side to side as with standard, low speed machines. The front of the ma-
chine should be lifted for turning, transporting and storage of the machine. Damage to the pad
and pad driver can result if pushed, pulled or stored with the weight of machine on the pad while
it is not in operation. Do not apply pressure or weight to the front of the machine while in opera-
tion. This causes an excessive load on the motor and will shorten the life of the motor. Model
1100 and 1500 are balanced to provide superior performance when used with the proper pad
and high quality floor finishes. The Model 2000 comes equipped with a front caster to stabilize
the machine at its 2000 rpm operating speed. This caster is adjustable to achieve proper pad
pressure. Pleas refer to the pad installation procedures regarding adjustement of this caster. The
machine was pre-adjusted at the factory using a 25mm thick pad. Fiorentini high speed floor
machines come equipped with a 15m heavy gauge power cord. We do not recommend the use
of extension cords with these floor machines. Damage to the motor can result due to a voltage
drop when inadequate extension cords are used.
WARNING: NEVER TURN ON MACHINE WHEN HANDLE IS IN UPRIGHT VERTICAL
POSITION BECAUSE THE MACHINE IS SUPPLYED OF SAFETY MICRO-SWITCH. THE “ON”
AND “OFF” MASTER SWITCH IS OPERATED BY MEANS OF LEVERS IMMEDIATELY
UNDER HANDLE GRIPS. WHEN TRANSPORTING OR STORING MACHINE, RAISE HANDLE
TO VERTICAL POSITION.
PRESTART-UP CHECKS
1) Check pad and pad driver; both must be secure and properly aligned.
2) Check handle assembly and camlock lever. Loose bolts should be tightened to avoid damage
to attachment points.
3) Check power cable, strain relief and cord plugs for frayed or damaged insulation.
4) Plug power cord into outlet.
5) Adjust handle height to desired level and with the
6) The machine can be operated wit either the right or left levers located below the handle bars.
Squeeze the lever toward the handle bar to start the machine.
USE CAUTION
DO NOT hold the machine in one spot for more than one or two second. This is a high speed
machine and can damage a hard surface floor very quickly leaving a permanent burn mark. If
you must stop, release the trigger lever to stop the machine.
AVOID any protruding objects such as bolts, mouldings, conduit pipes, etc. Even the slightest
contact can damage the pad and pad driver.
PAD DRIVER AND PAD SELECTION
These HIGH SPEED MACHINES come equipped with a balanced high speed pad driver with a
locking pad holder. This style pad driver and the locking pad holder must always be used. An un-
balanced pad driver will create vibration.
