Please note:
Floor tools are subject to a certain amount of wear
,
depending on the type of hard floors you have (e.g.
rough
,
rustic tiles). You must therefore check the
underside of the floor tool at regular intervals.
Worn undersides of floor tools may have sharp
edges that can damage delicate hard floors
,
such
as parquet or linoleum. The manufacturer does not
accept any responsibility for damage caused by
worn floor tools.
