Using your Floor Polisher
Warning: Hoover Floor Polisher is only intended for use on hard floors. Any use on Carpet may
lead to damage to both carpet and/or machine. Take care not to slip over when polishing floors,
they can become very slippery in the process. Only use dedicated floor products,
other inappropriate detergents or types of polish could leave the floor dangerously slippery.
Do not leave the product operating in one area for a prolonged period of time as this
may damage your floor surface.
Applying floor treatments
Apply the treatment directly to the floor unless instructions indicate otherwise.
Scrubbing / Cleaning the floor
Heavily soiled surfaces may require the brush attachments are used initially to loosen any debris.
Otherwise ensure that the white scrubbing pads are attached (see page 3). Use the white
scrubbing pads with floor cleaner to remove stubborn stains or old treatments from the floor surface.
Once polishing is complete, turn the unit off by returning it to its upright position.
Warning: Do not leave the product operating in one area for a prolonged period as this may
damage your floor.
Polishing / Buffing the floor
Clean floor thoroughly first before adding your chosen floor polish / wax. Keep the polisher
moving. Do not stop in one place for a long time or it will spoil the finish. Once polishing is
complete, turn the unit off by returning it to its upright position. A glossy finish may not always be
possible; this depends on the polish/wax used and the type of floor surface. Sometimes several
coats of polish will enable a glossy finish.
Storage
The electrical power
cable can be stored on
the rear of the product
using the convenient
power cable storage
hooks. When not in
use please wind cable
around the storage
hooks to avoid a
tripping hazard.
