1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations with the purchase of your Topfloor orbital cleaning machine, stripping,
polishing, sanding and removing paint, coatings, adhesive residues, etc. You now have a machine
specifically designed for your intended use at your disposal. It is built in accordance with the latest
insights and most up-to-date techniques, and, provided the instructions in this manual are
followed correctly, it will give years of trouble-free use. The aim of this manual is to familiarise
yourself with operating the machine and to provide instructions for working with it safely and
guidelines for periodic maintenance. Make sure you are familiar with the contents of this manual
before starting to work with the machine so that you can use all its features optimally and safely.
This user manual, the type plate and stickers placed on the machine contain important safety
information and as such form an integral part of the delivery. If they are damaged or lost, they
must be replaced. Copies can be obtained from your supplier.
The machine is pre-assembled on delivery and is completely ready for carrying out
scrubbing/buffing/polishing work. Make sure you know how to do this work before you start
using the machine. On delivery, verbal instructions will be given about operating the machine,
safety procedures and necessary maintenance. If this is not possible, the buyer is responsible for
providing correct instructions. The machine offers a large number of possibilities for treating a
floor. Topfloor offers product training on all oscillating floor cleaning machines that are
purchased or hired. Go to www.crescentindustrial.co.uk to where all product specification data
sheets and useful video guides on how to operate the machine can be found on the product page.
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
EX30-OCS Oscillating Floor Cleaning Machine is designed for easily cleaning floors along
the edges, and in corners and smaller spaces. After fitting special pads, these machines can also
be used for (solvent-free!) stripping or sanding/polishing parquet floors.
The plastic surround bumper makes it possible to work in tight corners. These floor treatment
machines are unique because of the Topfloor method: the high number of oscillations of 2,800
a minute. This makes the effect of the pads unrivalled.

www.crescentindustrial.co.uk
EX30-OCS
The machine is easy to use and requires no effort, because it is as if it hovers over the floor.
The basis of the machine is a robust, sturdy stainless steel frame on which the pad holder with
oscillating rubbers is attached. A large-size eccentric electric motor that drives the pad holder is
mounted on the frame. When in operation, the machine is guided over the floor on a wheelset
by pushing a stainless steel shaft ending in a T-handle that can be adjusted to suit any height

4. INTENDED USE
The EX30-OCS floor treatment machine is designed for:
• Cleaning
• Stripping
• Polishing
• Sanding
• Levelling
• Buffing
small and medium-sized hard and water-resistant floor surfaces using task-specific pads and/or
accessories. The duty cycle is 100% for normal professional use. Machines fitted with an IP54
plug can be used with (scrubbing) water.
Topfloor has – not yet - tested and approved the use of the machine for other purposes. With
respect to other possible uses, contact Topfloor IN ADVANCE to discuss whether the machine
is suitable. When working, the operator stands BEHIND the machine loosely holding the T-handle.
WARNING!
TOPFLOOR disclaims all responsibility in advance for damage caused as a result of
any use other than described above!!
WARNING!
These machines do NOT comply with ATEX requirements and may
NOT be used in an ATEX environment!!
According to information given on the website www.arboportaal.nl the risk of employees
suffering hearing loss starts at exposure to a noise level of 80 dB(A). Under the Working
Conditions Act, the employer must provide hearing protection if the local noise level exceeds
this value. Employees may only work in an environment with a noise level of 83 dB(A) for four
hours without hearing protection, there must not be an unacceptably high risk of hearing loss
and they may not be exposed to high noise levels during the following four hours. Employees
are obliged to wear hearing protection if they are on average exposed to a noise level of
85 dB(A) on a daily basis

5.2 Parts subject to wear
Machine parts subject to wear are not covered under the
warranty conditions due to:
1. additional contact with the product or
2. normal wear and tear during use
The parts of this machine that are subject to wear are:
• The oscillating rubbers
• The pads
5.3 Noise emission
The measured noise level of the machine when in operation is 60 dB(A). Test
results show that the machine’s noise emission when in operation depends
largely on the surface on which and the space in which it is used. Spatial echo
can lead to significantly higher noise levels. In these situations, Topfloor advises
making hearing protection permanently available.

8. TRANSPORT
The basic machine weighs approximately 16 kilos and it can be lifted by one person.
9. GETTING DOWN TO WORK!
9.1 Preliminary checks
You are working with (scrub) water and a 220 V machine. Make sure that:
• The mains voltage is 220 V
• The earth connection functions properly
• A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor) is installed.
- Check the cables for damage: both the short power cable as well as the extension cord!
- If you detect any deviations: solve these first before you start to work!
- Before starting treatment with the EX30-OCS, examine the floor on colour
and shape retention.
- Before you start, check if the correct pad for the job is attached.
- Check that at least one set of weights is installed, but no more than six sets!
- The number of weights on the left and right-hand side of the motor must be equal!
9.2 Getting down to work!
• Move the machine to the location where it will be used.
• Adjust the handle to a suitable working height and make sure it is locked properly in position!
• Check whether the switch is set to OFF.
• Unwind the extension cable (if used) completely and insert the machine’s plug into
an earthed power socket.
• Push the switch to ON position. The motor will start and the pad will start to work.
• While working the machine, you can easily push it around in any direction without requiring
a large amount of force. Work in straight lines, not by moving the machine from left to right.
• Always switch off the machine immediately after stopping work so you do not damage
the floor. Remove the plug from the power socket.

10.1 Lubricants
No specific lubricants are recommended for the Topfloor Oscillating Floor Cleaners.
10.2 Maintenance schedule
10. MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION!
Regular inspections and scheduled preventive maintenance reduce the chance
of malfunctions during operation.
10.2.1 Daily (before starting work)
• Check all cables for damage. Repair damaged cables before starting work!
• Check the pad for wear. A worn pad reduces the operating speed.
• After using the machine with chemical cleaning agents, wipe the machine down
with a damp cloth to prevent corrosion of the stainless steel components.
• Check for loose nuts and bolts.
10.2.2 Monthly
• Check whether the plate under the pad holder still has enough grip to hold the pad
in position.
• Check the oscillating rubbers for cracks. Have cracked oscillating rubbers replaced!
10.2.3 Yearly
• Have the machine tested in accordance with the compulsory occupational health and
safety test (NEN 3140) for electrical machines.
10.3 Replacing a pad
If the operating speed drops, or the machine’s performance declines, the pad has probably
accumulated a large amount of dirt or is worn and it has to be cleaned or replaced. The pad is
attached to the plate with Velcro.
