Polishing and buffing
floors
Floors waxed with solvent-base wax
may be polished and buffed with the
floor machine.
1. Be sure wax is thoroughly dry before
polishing. This usually takes 20-30 min-
utes but may take longer in damp
weather.
2. Use power scrub and cleaning
brushes to polish floor. Press handle
release and start by lowering handle.
Guide the floor machine in straight lines
or with the grain of the wood.
3. A double coat of wax will give floors
more protection. Let wax dry thoroughly
and polish after each application.
To achieve a high luster
finish
1. Attach felt buffing pads over power
scrub and cleaning brushes using fas-
teners. Polish to a soft shine by guiding
the floor machine in straight line or with
the grain of wood. If more shine is
desired proceed to Step 2.
2. Remove felt buffing pads and attach
high luster pads (available at additional
cost). Once again, guide the handle in
straight lines or with the grain of the
wood to achieve a high luster finish.

To keep floors bright and
shiny
The floor should be buffed frequently to
restore sheen and remove scratches
and marks. This lengthens the time
between waxings. Before buffing, use a
vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt
and a damp cloth to remove sticky parti-
cles. Stubborn spots, such as black heel
marks, can be removed by rubbing gen-
tly with very fine steel wool dampened
with wax.
If traffic areas need to be rewaxed and
polished, and a solvent-base wax has
been used on the floor, apply wax only
to these areas then buff the entire floor.
Felt and high luster
pads
(Available at additional cost)
The pads should be washed occasional-
ly to remove wax. If floor machine does
not glide easily when buffing floors, it
may be due to an accumulation of wax
on the pads.
Pads should be washed in the same way
as brushes. Shake the lambs wool pads
several times while drying to restore
fluffiness.
Let pads dry thoroughly before re-using.
The felt and high luster pads must be
completely dry to polish floors effectively.
