UNCRATING
Your
Powr-Flite
Ultra High Speed Burnisher was protectively packed to prevent damage
in shipment. We suggest that upon removing the unit from its carton, you carefully inspect it for
any possible damage in transit. If damage is discovered, immediately notify the transportation
company who delivered your machine. As a manufacturer, we are unable to act upon any claim
for concealed damage; you must originate the claim.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
This machine is designed to be safe when used to perform the functions specified in this
Operator’s Manual. Should damage occur to electrical or mechanical parts, the machine
should be repaired by the manufacturer or competent service station before using in order
to avoid further damage to the machine or physical injury to user. Your floor machine is
equipped with a safety switch lockout device designed for your safety. Do not attempt to
bypass or defeat the safety lockout device. Never use any device to lock the power switch
triggers in the ON position.
INSTRUCTIONS
Application
The NM1600, NM2000 and NM2000DC Ultra High Speed Burnishers are used to achieve and/
or maintain a high gloss appearance on an established floor finish. The high pad revolution
of the floor burnisher combined with a good polishing pad will turn properly established
cleaned floor finish into a high gloss, hardened finish known as the “wet look shine”. The
pads recommended with the NM1600, NM2000 and NM2000DC are the Powr-HD beige or
white synthetic pads or the natural hogs hair blended pads.
Preparation of Surface
Before each use of this machine, the floor must be dust mopped with a treated mop and if
necessary clean the floor with a damp mop, using a solution of water and neutral cleaner.
PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR OPERATION
WARNING:
To prevent injury, always remove the electrical plug from the electrical outlet
before changing the polishing pad and before leaving the machine.
• With the handle locked, tip the machine back until the handle is lying flat on the floor.
• To remove the pad-lock pad holder from the flexible pad driver, grasp the center support
with your thumb and forefinger and turn the collar counter-clockwise.
(Fig 1)
• Place a clean or new 20” buffing pad over the alignment ring on the pad holder.
• Replace the collar by turning clockwise until snug.
(Fig 2)
• Step back and lift the burnisher to the upright position.
• Connect the power cord into a grounded, 3-wire outlet.
• The NM1600 Burnishers should be operated with the handle in the unlocked “floating”
position to provide excellent maneuverability and automatic
pad contact.
The NM2000 and NM2000DC are designed for maintenance of large, open areas.
To prevent excessive pad drag or uneven burnishing where tight, repetitive turns are
necessary, lock the handle for manual control of pad contact.
NOTE: The hardened steel cam release lever does not require extreme tightening to
effectively hold the handle in position. Over-tightening will shorten the functional life of
the lever.

CAUTION: Do NOT operate the Millennium dust-control
burnisher (Item# NM2000DC) without a dust skirt.
