New * EDIC FLOOR BUFFERS * NEW
  
(175 rpm)
No job is too tough for this
rugged series of floor machines from EDIC. With its
all-metal construction and steel planetary gear boxes, the
Saturn can stand up to the heaviest workloads, yet the ride
is surprisingly smooth and quiet. The low speed models are
built specifically to handle the stress associated with
stripping and scrubbing hard floor surfaces as well as
bonnet cleaning and shampooing carpets. Features like the
quick and easy handle adjustment, anti-fatigue design, and
the exclusive “lockout lever” for safe two-handed start up
make this machine operator friendly and a winner in every
commercial setting. Available in six different models, there
is a perfect low speed Saturn for any size job.

About Floor Care
ABOUT
COMMERCIAL FLOOR CARE
YOU SPENT A LOT OF MONEY GETTING YOUR FLOOR "WAXED" AND KNOW YOU
NEED TO MAINTAIN IT OR IT WILL START LOOKING LIKE YOU NEVER DID
ANYTHING TO IT. "WAXED" IS THE WRONG WORD SINCE VERY SELDOM DO WE
USE WAX ON COMMERCIAL TILE FLOORS ANYMORE. WE USE A POLYMER COATING
THAT WE CALL "FLOOR FINISH".
FLOOR FINISH CLEANING: ALWAYS SWEEP OR DUST MOP THE FLOOR
BEFORE CLEANING. ALWAYS USE A NEUTRAL CLEANER TO CLEAN FLOOR FINISH.
IF IT DOESN'T SAY NEUTRAL THAN IT ISN'T. DON'T USE MR CLEAN, SIMPLE
GREEN, TOP JOB, SPIC AND SPAN AND OTHERS UNLESS THEY SAY NEUTRAL ON
THE BOX. A NON-NEUTRAL CLEANER MAY DULL AND EVEN STRIP THE FLOOR
FINISH FROM THE FLOOR. YOU NEED A MOP BUCKET WITH RINGER, A MOP
HANDLE AND MOP HEAD. IF YOU HAPPEN TO USE THE MOP BUCKET FOR
STRIPPING YOU MUST THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE BUCKET OF ALL STRIPPER
RESIDUE. DO NOT USE A MOP THAT WAS USED FOR STRIPPING TO CLEAN A
FLOOR. IF YOU HAVE A LARGE AREA SUCH AS A SUPERMARKET TO CLEAN YOU
SHOULD USE A AUTO SCRUBBER WHICH WILL MAKE YOUR CLEANING A LOT
EASIER.
BUFFING & RESTORING: ALWAYS CLEAN THE FLOOR BEFORE BUFFING OR
BURNISHING THE FLOOR. SPRAY BUFFING CONSISTS OF A SPRAY BUFF
CHEMICAL, A FLOOR BUFFER OF 175 RPM OR 300 RPM AND A FLOOR PAD MADE
FOR BUFFING. TO SPRAY BUFF YOUR LIGHTLY MIST THE SPRAY BUFF IN FRONT
OF THE BUFFER AND YOU BUFF THAT AREA UNTIL THE SPRAY BUFF IS WORKED
INTO THE FLOOR AND A SHINE APPEARS. MOP ON RESTORING USES A SIMILAR
CHEMICAL TO THE BUFFING CHEMICAL BUT IT IS APPLIED BY MIXING THE
SOLUTION IN A BUCKET WITH WATER AND MOPPING THE SOLUTION ONTO THE
FLOOR. YOU LET THE FLOOR DRY AND USE A HIGH SPEED BURNISHER OF 1500
RPM OR MORE WITH A BURNISHING PAD TO SHINE THE FLOOR. THEIR ARE ALSO
PASTES THAT CAN BE USED WITH BURNISHERS THAT YOU PLACE A RIBBON OF
THE CHEMICALS IN FRONT OF A BURNISHER AND WALK THE BURNISHER UP AND
DOWN THE AREA THAT NEEDS TO BE SHINED.
STRIPPING: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT AFTER YOU STRIP THE
FLOOR YOU MUST RINSE THE FLOOR NUMEROUS TIMES WITH A FLOOR
NEUTRALIZER TO ASSURE THAT RESIDUE FROM THE STRIPPER IS GONE. TO
STRIP IT IS BEST TO PURCHASE A GOOD QUALITY STRIPPER. A GOOD
QUALITY STRIPPER OR RELIQUIFIER WILL SAVE YOU TIME AND BACK ACHES.
STRIPPERS, EVEN THE BEST TEND ONLY STRIP ABOUT 4 COATS OF FINISH PER
STRIPPING. IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN 4 COATS OF FINISH ON A FLOOR OR
VERY THICK COATS THAT YOU NEED TO STRIP YOU WILL HAVE TO STRIP
MULTIPLE TIMES. IF YOU USE A BUCKET THAT YOU NORMALLY USE TO CLEAN
WITH YOU WILL NEED TO RINSE THAT BUCKET OUT VERY VERY GOOD BEFORE
YOU USE THAT BUCKET AGAIN. PREPARE THE FLOOR BY SWEEPING IT. MOVE
ALL FURNITURE OFF THE FLOOR. MIX YOUR STRIPPER PER DIRECTIONS ON
THE CHEMICAL AND ALSO READ THE DIRECTIONS ON THE CHEMICAL. MOP ON
THE STRIPPER AND ALLOW TO SIT FOR AT LEAST FIVE MINUTES. USE A
FLOOR BUFFER WITH A STRIPPING PAD AND SCRUB THE FLOOR. DO NOT ALLOW
THE STRIPPER TO DRY. DO PORTIONS OF THE FLOOR AT A TIME. THE
EASIEST WAY TO PICK UP THE STRIPPER IS WITH A WET DRY VACUUM. YOU
COULD MOP UP THE STRIPPER BUT IT WILL TAKE LONGER. FOR CORNERS AND
BASEBOARDS USE A AEROSOL FLOOR STRIPPER AND DOODLE STRIPPING PADS.
AFTER YOU HAVE STRIPPED THE FLOOR DO NOT USE THAT MOP FOR ANYTHING
ELSE OTHER THAN STRIPPING FLOORS. NEUTRALIZE THE FLOOR BY RINSING
THE FLOOR A FEW TIMES WITH CLEAN WATER IN A CLEAN BUCKET WITH CLEAN
MOPS.
APPLYING FLOOR FINISH: THEIR ARE MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO
APPLY FINISH. MOPS, LAMBS WOOL APPLICATORS AND SPONGE MOPS ARE THE
MOST COMMONLY USED APPLICATIONS MOPS BEING THE PREFERRED METHOD.
WHEN USING A MOP YOU WANT TO USE A FINISH MOP OR RAYON MOP BECAUSE
THESE MOPS TEND NOT TO LINT. THEIR IS NOTHING WORSE THAN GETTING
THROUGH A JOB AND SEEING LINT RUNNING THROUGH THE FINISH. YOU WANT
TO PUT THE FINISH IN A MOP BUCKET. LINE THE BUCKET WITH A TRASH
LINER AS NOT TO CONTAMINATE THE FINISH AND MAKE CLEAN UP EASIER. DO
NOT USE A USED MOP TO APPLY FINISH. MOP ON FLOOR FINISH IN THIN
COATS STARTING FROM THE FARTHEST AREA. SEALER GENERALLY ISN'T
NEEDED WITH NEWER FORMULATED FINISHES. APPLY 4 TO 5 THIN COATS
ALLOWING 20 TO 30 MINUTES BETWEEN COATS. AFTER THE FIRST COAT YOU
CAN BURNISH THE FLOOR FINISH WHICH WILL CUT OFF MICROSCOPIC PEAKS IN
THE FIRST COAT OF FINISH BUT THIS IS NOT NECESSARY. IF YOU APPLIED
THE STRIPPED THE FLOOR AND APPLIED THE FINISH CORRECTLY THE FLOOR
SHOULD DRY TO A DEEP GLOSS UNLESS THE FINISH YOU USED HAS A SATIN
FINISH.
FLOOR MACHINES COME IN A VARIETY OF SIZES, SHAPES AND SPEEDS.
TO STRIP A FLOOR YOU WILL NEED A 175 RPM FLOOR BUFFER WITH A PAD
HOLDER TO USE STRIPPING PADS OR A STRIPPING BRUSH. TO BUFF A
FLOOR YOU CAN USE A 175 RPM TO SPRAY BUFF BUT THE FASTER THE
BUFFER THE BETTER THE SHINE YOU WILL GET. 1500 RPM PLUS FLOOR
BUFFERS ARE CALL FLOOR BURNISHERS. THESE UNITS USE SPEED
TO MELT THE FINISH TO CREATE THE SHINE AND IF USED PROPERLY WILL
GIVE YOU THAT MIRROR LOOK. FOR CARPET CLEANING YOU CAN USE A
CARPET BONNET PAD ON STANDARD SPEED FLOOR BUFFER TO BUFF OUT THE
DIRT, YOU CAN ALSO USE A CARPET BRUSH ON THE STANDARD SPEED
FLOOR MACHINE TO SCRUB THE CARPET WITH A SHAMPOO, AN ENCAPSULATION
CHEMICAL OR A TRAFFIC LANE CLEANER AS A PRE-SCRUB PRIOR TO
EXTRACTING. IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO A LOT OF CARPET BONNETING
GO WITH A 1.5 HP MODEL. I ALSO LIKE THE 1.5 HORSE POWER SINCE
IT IS A BIT MORE HEAVIER AND STRONGER AND WILL HELP IN STRIPPING.
