Introduction

This guide shows how to replace a damaged power cord on the Clarke Floor Buffer 01278A 2016.

You can use regular hand tools for removing fasteners, but using an impact driver will make the procedure easier.

    • Before you begin, make sure the floor buffer is turned off and unplugged.

    • Use a 3/16" hex key or driver bit to remove the six 23.4 mm-long screws holding the two halves of the handle enclosure together.

    • The rear half of the enclosure is bolted to the handle tube, so you'll only need to remove the front half.

    • Pull the front half of the enclosure straight away from the rear half to separate the enclosure.

    • If the interlock assembly comes out with the front half of the enclosure, detach it and place it back into the rear half.

    • Remove the front half of the handle enclosure.

    • Use a 3/16" hex key or driver bit to remove the 13.8 mm-long screw securing the power cord's green ground wire to the handle enclosure.
