Useful tips

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
• The recommended floor treatment is Ewbank Floor Polish, which has been specifically developed to compliment the EP170. • Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. • 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. • Use the white scrubbing pads with floor cleaner or Ewbank Floor Polish to remove stubborn stains or old treatments from the floor surface. • Turn the product on at the power socket. • With your foot securing the head of the polisher on the floor, pull the handle towards you and the product will start.
Returning the handle to its upright position will stop the product.
• Move at a speed of about 1 minute every 1m2 and follow the diagram for an even finish. • Do not leave the product operating in one area for a prolonged period as this may damage your floor. • Once cleaning is complete, turn the unit off by returning it to its upright position.
Polishing / buffing the floor
• Clean floor thoroughly first before adding your chosen floor polish / wax • If you are using an alternative floor polishing wax or oil to Ewbank Floor Polish, please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions when using with the Ewbank Floor Polisher EP170. • Start with the blue cleaning pads initially and buff to a finish with the yellow pads for a high-sheen finish. • 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.
