Frequently Asked Questions
All EDIC floor machines feature an exclusive "lockout" safety lever that requires the operator to use both hands to activate the motor, which prevents accidental starting. The handle should be adjusted to a comfortable height (typically waist/hip level) for proper control.
Control is achieved by subtly adjusting the handle height. Lifting the handle slightly makes the machine move to the left, and lowering it makes it move to the right. The goal is to find a balanced, neutral position where the machine hovers flat on the floor.
Yes, some models like the Saturn Dual Speed are designed for versatility. The lower speed (around 175 RPM) is ideal for scrubbing and stripping, while the high speed can be used for polishing, spray-buffing, and bonnet cleaning.
The pad must be centered on the pad driver (which typically uses a hook-and-loop system or twist-lock mechanism) to ensure even contact and prevent the machine from shaking or vibrating.
EDIC floor machines are versatile and can be used on various hard floor surfaces including VCT, LVT, tile and grout, concrete, and wood, as well as for carpet shampooing/bonnet cleaning with the appropriate accessories.
After each use, drain and rinse both the solution and recovery tanks to prevent chemical buildup, odors, and mold growth. Remove and clean the floor pad or brush, and wipe down the exterior of the machine. For corded models, unplug the machine by grasping the plug, not the cord.
