2. You will then have full control over the machine and use it effi-
ciently. The care and maintenance described in these operating in-
structions are in the interests of your own safety and preserve the
machine’s value.
3. The manufacturer accepts no liability for personal injury or damage
to property due to the incorrect use of this machine.
This warning alert symbol that is used
throughout this manual is to warn of hazards or un-
safe practices. Failure to follow these may cause
electric shock, fire or explosion which could result
in severe personal injury or death.
Before operating the single-disc machine,
please read these instructions carefully and keep
them handy at all times.
The single-disc machine may only be used by per-
sons trained in its use and explicitly entrusted with
its operation.
WARNING:
Fire or Explosion Hazard. Never use flammable liq-
uids or operate machine in or near flammable liq-
uids, vapours or combustible dusts.
This machine is not equipped with an explosion
proof motor. The electric motor will spark when
powered on which could cause a flash fire or explo-
sion if machine is used in an area where flammable
vapours/liquids or combustible dusts are present.

General remarks
The operation of the single-disc machine is subject to the currently
valid national regulations.
It is essential to observe not only the operating instructions and the
binding regulations on accident prevention valid in the country of use,
but also the generally acknowledged rules for safe and correct working
procedures. No methods involving safety risks must be used.

Correct use
All single-disc machines are intended exclusively for use in build-
ing interiors.
Any use beyond this is considered incorrect. The manufacturer
accepts no liability for any resultant damage; the user alone bears
the risk.
Correct use also includes adherence to the operating, servicing
and maintenance conditions recommended by the manufacture.
The relevant accident prevention regulations as well as all the
generally acknowledged safety and working practices must be fol-
lowed.
Unauthorized modifications to the machine exclude the manufac-
turer’s liability for resultant damage.
Before machine use, floorcoverings must be tested for suitability
for this cleaning process.
Pay attention to the area compression of point-elastic floors, e.g. in
gymnasiums
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage to equipment and
to the floor being cleaned from using the wrong brushes and clean-
ing agents.
Machine may not be used in combination with an extension cord.
Product liability
The operator’s attention is drawn explicitly to the fact that the ma-
chines may only be used for their intended purpose. If the machines
are not used for their intended purposes, the user must accept full
responsibility. Any liability of the manufacturer is thus excluded.
Sources of risk
WARNING: The single-disc machine is not
suitable for cleaning surfaces which release health-
hazardous dusts and liquids. Do not use the ma-
chine on steps.
WARNING:
This machine is only intended for
use on level surfaces with a maximum gradient of up
to 2 %.
WARNING: This machine is not approved for
use on public paths and roads.
WARNING: Use only the brushes provided
with the appliance or those specified in the
instructions. The use of other brushes may
impair safety.
WARNING: When the machine is stationary,
the brush unit must be immediately switched off to
prevent damage to the floorcovering.
WARNING: During transportation in lifts, the
currently valid user instructions and safety regula-
tions – and particularly those concerning maximum
loading – must be observed.
Machine operation position
The machine operation position is behind the machine.
Approved maintenance staff
The single-disc machine may only be serviced and repaired by per-
sons with technical and legal authorization.
Cleaning agents
•
•
When using cleaning and care agents, the manufacturer’s danger
warnings must be followed and protective goggles and clothing
must be worn.
Only use low-foaming, non-combustible cleaning agents which do
not contain generally health-hazardous substances. Explicit refer-
ence is made to the risks of using highly flammable, combustible,
toxic, health-hazardous, corrosive or irritant substances.

Delivery, instruction on safety procedures, handling and mainte-
nance and initial operation are generally carried out by our author-
ized specialist.
If this is not the case, the operator is responsible for instructing
machine users.
Please remember that the voltage in the building being cleaned must
concur with that given on the machine’s type plate.
Assembly instructions
The motor head and bar are supplied separately packed.
First release the hexagon socket screws in the shaft adjustment
unit (6).
Then feed the bar (7) gently as far as it will go into the shaft ad-
justment unit (6).
Align the handle bar (1) parallel with the wheels (9), so that the
open side of the housing of the top shaft element (3) is facing to
the rear.
Then tighten the hexagon socket screws again.
Wind the electric cable around the handle bar (1) and cable hook
(8).
Preparations for use
Grasp the handle bar (1) with both hands and tip the machine until
it is resting on both wheels (A).
Then wheel the machine to its place of work and plug the electric
cable into the power supply.
Set the desired rpm, using the switch mounted at the motor hous-
ing (only for F8 Duo speed)
Lay the accessories (11), i.e. brush or drive plate with pad, on the
floor.
Now tip the machine back onto the wheels and push it over the
brush (or drive plate) until the drive star and brush flange are verti-
cally aligned. Lower the machine onto the brush (B).
Then squeeze the shaft adjustment lever (5) and lower the bar (7)
into its working position. Both arms should be extended loosely
downwards (C).
Align the machine horizontally above the working element (brush
or drive plate), press the switch lock (4) and press the brush motor
switch (2) briefly.

The accessory automatically engages.
Operating machine
Press the brush motor switch (2) (to the right or left). The motor
starts.
If you raise the bar (7) slightly, the machine moves to the right (D).
If you lower the bar, the machine moves to the left (D).
If you keep the bar in its central position, the machine works on the
spot.
After use
Squeeze the shaft adjustment handle (5) and shift the bar (7) into
its vertical position.
Then tip the machine onto its wheels (9) and press the brush
motor switch (2) briefly. The accessory (11) disengages.
Remove the plug from the power socket and wind the electric
cable around the handle bar (1) and cable hook (8).
Thorough cleaning the easy way
For thorough cleaning, equip your machine with the following accesso-
ries:
-
Solution tank (13)
-
Scrubbing brush (11) or drive plate with pad.
Fasten the tank to the mounting (14).
Slide the outlet hose (12) onto the water connector (16).
Fill the tank (13). Then fit the brush or drive plate with pad.
Control the flow of liquid with the tank lever (15) by pulling the
lever (15) upwards.
Vacuum the dirty wash solution a section at a time with a water
extractor.
Shampooing thoroughly and efficiently
For shampooing, equip your machine with the following accessories:
- Solution tank; 0.3 Perlon shampooing brush or pad for textile
floorcoverings.
The working procedure is in principle the same as for thorough
cleaning.
Start the machine with the shampooing brush dry.
Meter a small amount of liquid until the bristles are saturated with
foam.
Run the machine with the rotating brush from right to left or vice-
versa.
⇒
Immediately after this, run the machine in the same way
in the reverse direction, but with an overlap of about a quarter of
the strip already treated (E.)
Only then run the machine in a spiral pattern over the shampooed
strips.
⇒
In doing so, work both strips at the same time (F.)
During shampooing it is highly advisable to immediately remove
the dirt-laden foam a section at a time with a water extractor.
Assembly instructions for Spray unit
Fit the holder for the spray can to the bar (7) with the holder point-
ing upwards and, when viewed from the operating side, to the left
(G).
Hook the spray can’s tongue onto the holder, pivoting the holder
back until the ball catch engages.
Then slide the spring clip over the shaft adjustment unit (7).
Attach the box on the right or left as desired (H).
Point the universal-jointed hose in the desired direction.
Routine cleaning
For routine cleaning, equip your machine with the following accesso-
ries:
- Spray unit, drive plate for pads, pad for F8/F3 low speed or Spray
unit, drive plate for pads, pad for F12/F8 high speed
Fill the spray can with the desired product.
Fit the drive plate with the desired pad.
Start the machine.
When you pull the Spray unit lever a few times the cleaning agent
is sprayed onto the floor. Now start cleaning immediately until a
shine is produced.
We advise cleaning the surface in relatively small areas at a time.
The machine is ideal for cleaning with polymer dispersions. The
coating’s resistance to foot traffic and general wear and tear is
preserved. Streaks and marks are easier to remove.
Polishing with F12/F8 high speed
For polishing, equip your machine with the following accessories:
-
Drive plate for pads, white pad
-
Fit the drive plate with the pad.
Then start the machine.
