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 center before using in order
to avoid further damage to the machine or
physical injury to the 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
in the ON position.

APPLICATION
The NM2000 Ultra High Speed Burnisher is
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”. Recommended pads are beige or
white synthetic pads, or the natural hogs hair
blended pads.
Preparation of the 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 (see figure 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 (see figure 2).
Step back and tilt the burnisher to the upright
position.
Connect the power cord into a grounded, 3-wire
outlet.
The NM2000 Ultra High Speed Burnisher
should be operated with the handle in the
unlocked “floating” position to provide excellent
maneuverability and automatic pad contact.
The units 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 the cam release lever will shorten the
functional life of the lever (see figure 3).
