HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE

• Plug the machine in as directed and lower the handle to the desired operating height and lock 

in place using the cam lever handle. Push the safety switch forward 

(Fig 4)

 and squeeze the 

switch triggers beneath the handle grips.   This activates the motor and starts the block, brush 
or attachment in 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 inch (25 mm).

AFTER USING THE MACHINE

• Upon completion, dust mop with treated mop to pick up all burnishing residue.
• The condition of the floor pad has direct affect on the performance of your burnisher. When 

the pad becomes dirty, turn it over and use the other side. When finished, wash the pad out 
and allow it to dry completely before using again.

• Unplug the power cord and wrap it under the cord hook and over the right handle grip.
• Tip the machine back and remove floor pad.
• Wipe off the machine housing and the cord. This will prevent build-up of unnecessary  

residue.

TRANSPORTING

Use the rear wheels for transporting the M1200-3, M1600-3 or M2000-3. This will insure 

that the operating wheels remain clean and smooth for use on clean floor surfaces. (Fig 5)

MAINTENANCE

• Once a month, remove the motor cover of the unplugged M1200-3, M1600-3 or M2000-3 

by removing the motor cover screws.

• Vacuum out any dust or debris which has accumulated in the motor. (Fig 6)
• Replace motor cover and replace the motor cover screws.
• Check and maintain tightness of all fasteners.  

WARNING:

 do not over-tighten switch housing screws.

• Keep the burnisher clean, especially at the handle tube and collar so the  

handle tube will move freely through the collar.

• Inspect cord and plug for cuts, gashes or loose prongs; replace as needed.
• The length of the carbon brushes should be inspected annually. If they are no longer 

extended past the holder window, they should be replaced.

• Replacement of carbon brushes should be done only by a qualified service technician.
• 

Disassembly of this motor voids the warranty.

• Improper disassembly and assembly of this motor can permanently damage the armature.
