00:00Well, hello folks and welcome back to another session on some of our rental equipment and here

00:16we have a floor maintainer 17 inch to be specific and this is used for buffing up or cleaning and

00:23scrubbing of say vinyl floors you can use them on tile linoleum and a good machine to use if if you

00:33have a small business and you're trying to refinish your floors yourself in your in your store or in

00:39your office or sometimes you have an office and your your employees trek in and out from the shop

00:46back and forth your floors get a little scruffy you might want to buff them up yourself and

00:52this is as you see has several different colors of pads that you can use on it there are others

00:59several colors actually and the color designates the grit of the of the material of the of the pad

01:06that these would be in this specific case the black would be like a scrubbing pad the or a stripping

01:14pad to get off say on the wax and dirt if it's not too bad you could use the green one they call a

01:20scrubber scrubber as well that's not as aggressive as the black and the white one is usually a buffing

01:27pad a lot smoother and doesn't have that grittiness that the the other two pads have but though these

01:34three are generally pretty consistent with what people would use this other pad on the back here

01:40is a solid one and this is your your drive pad this is what these pads hold on to now the idea is that

01:48i'll show you when you put this on the machine is your pads going to be on the floor this is going

01:54to be on top hopefully centered and because of the the grip area of the rubber pad the weight of the

02:00machine this is what how it drives and grabs on the floor and the good thing is sometimes is if

02:06you're doing a floor and it does grab something unexpectedly it will kind of rip away from it and it

02:12won't cause some damage so a good a good idea in the middle here even these little centers sometimes

02:21you can use them as little scrubbers for your for your corners so you know take them out and and utilize

02:27them if but if the need be now what you do here is take the machine you tip it up you take your drive pad

02:39and just line up the the drive lugs put them over top and you just give it a turn and that's all you

02:49have to do because it drives only one way and it pushes against the the spigot here so it'll stay on

02:56and it'll just drive in that manner take it off pretty simple turn it the other way now once you have

03:03it on and it's on your floor I won't put it on there for now but that'll be over top of it over

03:12top and just so you know here this spigot on top is for like dumbbell weights to add more weight to it

03:19to make it more aggressive so you had a black pad and you wanted to make it more aggressive but these

03:24machines of course are used for multi-purpose you can also buy sanding pads you can buy wire pads you

03:30buy brushes and so they can be used for different purposes you know they also are used we used to

03:38keep sanding paper to sand with on these on these machines which had to add a weight to give a little

03:44more aggressiveness as as the material is sometimes hard to get off they've even been used to sand rust

03:52off of steel plate and so there's very it's unlimited to what the actual machine can be used for

03:59but the big thing to know is loosen this off when you're going to use it get the cord over your

04:07shoulder out of the way if you haven't used one before and you've probably seen a lot of janitors

04:12maybe use them in schools they use these machines a lot for buffing their floors of course they have

04:17a lot of walk-behind machines now but in any case put the handle in your waist or waist high and the

04:26reason for this is that you'll bend your legs to operate the machine if you bend down it'll go one

04:31way you bend up it'll go the other way if you hold it out here like this with your hands and try to

04:35operate this machine you haven't operated one before it tends to want to go all over the place and I've

04:41seen the machines flip over they get a little violent only because we're tipping the machine too much

04:46and that's what makes the machine go back and forth and you can end up flipping it around so if you haven't

04:52done this before put the machine in your in your waist lock it in that position now when I move my

05:01waist up and because I move my use of my legs I'm not going to move as aggressively I can move up a bit

05:06and go one way I can go down and go the other way I can push forward and I can pull it back so that

05:12would be the best way to to operate the machine and once you start it you can start the machine by

05:18pulling obviously the triggers and just kind of move your your waist up and down to get it sitting

05:23in one position first before you start getting moving it around and that way and then at some

05:29point you've I'm sure maybe you've seen janitors in school there's basically almost not even holding

05:33on to it because you can pretty well almost operate it right by your waist by just holding it snug in

05:38there so follow those ideas when you're going to start using this machine for the first time at least

05:43until you know what you know what the action does and that way you can have a a good experience and

05:49you know you'll want to keep doing it yourself and and get a good job done okay so there's something

05:55else to consider for your projects and hope we'll see you again and don't forget to subscribe
