Prevents unintended operation of 

the machine.

 
2.  Switch Levers – 

Turns machine on/off.

 
3. Adjustment 

Handle 

– 

Allows the handle to be 

adjusted to a comfortable operating position.

The handle adjust bar (86215130 - PRV 
NO.

14344

) for the polishers are individually 

preset at the factory for optimum locking 
efficiency and minimum effort of engaging. It 
should not be necessary to adjust the handle 
adjust bar unless the relationship of the handle 
adjust bar nut (86136360 - PRV NO. 

57275

) or 

fixed clamp bolt (86136700 – PRV NO. 

70692

) 

and their corresponding nuts (86136360 – 
PRV NO. 

57275

) and washer (86010720 – 

PRV NO. 

87086

) have been disturbed. The 

handle can be positioned to be locked with the 
handle adjust bar pointing either up or down. 
In order to change the position the handle and 
bolt must be removed and rotated 180 
degrees. It is incorrect to make it lock opposite 
from the way it was assembled by applying 
more force to the nut. From the factory the 
locking is in the up position when the machine 
handle is locked. The pivot pin (86222560 – 
PRV NO. 

66334

) on the handle adjust bar is 

off center, in relationship of the screw to the 
axis of the (see drawing). To adjust handle 
adjust bar, tighten nut on handle while in the 
locked position. The handle is locked when the 
screw is to the outside of the machine and the 
flat on the opposite side of the handle is flush 
to the bracket. 

1.  To adjust handle lock, tighten nut on handle while 

in the locked position. Optimum locking force and 
ease of locking is accomplished when the locking 
lever nut is set to a torque of 30 to 50 inch pounds 
in the locked position. 

2.  Gap between clamp halves at the front should be 

to the gap in rear when the handle adjust bar is 
adjusted properly and in the locked position (gap 
approximately 1/16").
