DISPOSAL

To dispose of the appliance, take it to a demolition centre or an 

authorised collection centre.

Before scrapping the appliance, it is necessary to remove and 

separate out the following materials, then send them to the 

appropriate collection centres in accordance with applicable 

environmental hygiene regulations:

•  Brushes

•  Felt

•  Electric and electronic parts*

•  Batteries

•  Plastic parts (tanks and handlebars)

•  Metal parts (levers and frame)

(*) In particular, contact your distributor when scrapping electric and 

electronic parts.

CHOOSING AND USING BRUSHES

POLYPROPYLENE BRUSH (PPL)

Used on all types of floors. Good resistance to wear and tear, and hot water (no greater than 50°C.). 

The polypropylene is non-hygroscopic and therefore retains its characteristics even when working in 

wet conditions.

ABRASIVE BRUSH

The bristles of this type of brush are charged with highly aggressive abrasives. It is used to clean very 

dirty floors. To avoid floor damage, work only with the pressure strictly necessary.

THICKNESS OF THE BRISTLES

Thicker bristles are more rigid and are therefore used on smooth floors or floors with small joints.

On uneven floors or those with deep joints, it is advisable to use softer bristles which can enter the gaps 

more easily.

Remember that when the bristles are worn and therefore too short, they will become rigid and are no 

longer able to penetrate and clean deep down. In this case, like with over-large bristles, the brush tends 

to jump.

PAD HOLDER

The pad holder is recommended for cleaning shiny surfaces.

There are two types of pad holder:

1. 

The traditional pad holder is fitted with a series of anchor points that allow the abrasive floor pad to 

be held and dragged while working.

2.  the CENTRE LOCK type pad holder not only has anchor points, but also a snap-type central locking 

system in plastic that allows the abrasive floor pad to be perfectly centred and held without any risk 

of it becoming detached. This type of pad holder is recommended above all for machines with more 

than one brush, where the centring of the abrasive discs is difficult.

RED PAD

Suitable for frequent use on relatively clean floors. Even cleans without water, and polishes by removing 

marks.

GREEN PAD

Suitable for removing surface layers of wax and for preparing the flooring for subsequent treatments. 

For wet use.

BLACK PAD

Suitable for wet scraping heavy layers of wax. Removes the old finish, and eliminates burrs in concrete.
