A pad holder release mechanism for a floor treating machine enables a pad holder to quickly be released from and reattached to a motor shaft, so that a pad carried by the holder may be replaced without need to tip the machine back on its handle. The release mechanism is particularly useful with battery powdered floor treating machines, which because of their weight cannot conveniently be tipped to expose the pad, and if tipped present a risk of battery acid spillage. In use of the mechanism, the pad holder need only be elevated a few inches to lift the pad off of a surface, whereupon the mechanism allows the pad holder and pad to be removed from and replaced on the machine.
