HAWK Deluxe Orbital

Frequently Asked Questions
The HAWK Deluxe Orbital machine can be used for polishing, buffing, stripping, and cleaning hard floors, carpets, and other commercial or residential surfaces.
The recommended movement pattern for operation is to overlap each pass in a slow, consistent, side-to-side or figure-eight motion to ensure even cleaning and avoid streaks.
Choose the correct pad or grit by matching it to the floor type and cleaning task: softer pads for light cleaning, medium for scrubbing, abrasive or higher-grit pads for stripping or polishing, and always test a small area first.
No, you should let the machine’s weight and motor do the work, applying only light, even pressure to avoid damaging the floor or overworking the motor.
To fix discs not staying attached, clean both the pad and disc surfaces, ensure the disc is correctly aligned, and replace worn or damaged hook-and-loop pads or adhesive discs as needed.
If the machine won’t turn on or stops unexpectedly, check that it’s plugged in, the power switch is on, the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped, the cord isn’t damaged, and that any safety or thermal cut-off switches aren’t engaged.
