Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, HAWK floor machines are versatile and can be used for various tasks, including stripping, scrubbing, buffing, and polishing, by simply changing the pad driver or brush attachment.
You should only use manufacturer-approved weights when additional pressure is necessary for heavy-duty tasks like aggressive floor stripping or sanding, but avoid using them for standard scrubbing or buffing to prevent motor strain.
Perform daily maintenance by wiping down the machine and inspecting the cord for damage, and conduct regular checks of brushes or pads for wear, following the specific lubrication schedule in the operator's manual.
Generally, wear-and-tear items such as brushes, pads, pad drivers, power cords, and light bulbs are not covered by the standard manufacturer's warranty.
