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. (Fig 3)
CAUTION: Do NOT operate the Millennium dust-control
burnisher (Item# NM2000DC) without a dust skirt.
