HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE
• Plug the machine in as directed and lower the handle to the desired operating height. Push
the safety switch forward (Fig 4) and squeeze the switch triggers beneath the handle grips.
This activates the motor and starts the pad driver operation. Each time you release the
triggers the safety switch will reset. You will need to follow the direction above to restart the
machine. CAUTION:
When leaving the machine unattended, disconnect the wall plug and
return the handle to the “locked” upright position to prevent accidental starting.
• Push the machine forward in a straight line, at a slow walking speed. Overlap each pass by
about 1” (25 mm).
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.
• Step back and lift the burnisher to the upright position.
• Connect the power cord into to a grounded 3-wire outlet.
• The C1600-3 Burnisher should be operated with the handle in the
unlocked “floating” position to provide excellent maneuverability and
automatic 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. (Fig3).

TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
Use the rear wheels for transporting the C1600-3. This will ensure that the operating wheels re-
main clean and smooth for use on clean floor surfaces. (Fig 3).
