Overview

A floor washer washes and scrubs floors, typically over larger areas in commercial or industrial settings. It combines water, cleaning solution and scrubbing brushes to deep-clean hard floors efficiently.

Cleans carpets, grouted tile, concrete, hardwood, marble, profiled ceramics, vinyl, rubberised floors, pirelli, escalators and more.

Unique 800,000-bristle brushes counter-rotate at 780 RPM, lifting dirt, water and grime from the floor and replacing mops and bulky machinery.

Simply fill the solution tank and squeeze the trigger to feed clean water onto the two counter-rotating brushes.

Conveyors recover the dirty water and deposit it into the central recovery tank.

A 90-degree tilt angle reaches hard-to-reach areas such as under countertops and into tight corners.

Tool won't switch onShared · Electric (corded)

Likely causes

  • Tripped GFCI or breaker
  • Lock-off button
  • Damaged cord
  • Dead outlet

Checks to try, in order

  1. Check the outlet works and reset any GFCI / RCD that has tripped.
  2. Release the lock-off button or safety switch before squeezing the trigger.
  3. Inspect the cord and extension lead for cuts, crushed sections or damaged plugs.
  4. If running from a generator, make sure it's running and its breaker hasn't tripped.

A damaged cord or plug means the tool is out of service. Tag it and return it — never tape a cord.

Reference draft — always follow the manufacturer’s manual.

Keeps tripping the breakerShared · Electric (corded)

Likely causes

  • Circuit overloaded
  • Undersized extension cord
  • Blunt accessory

Checks to try, in order

  1. Plug into a circuit with nothing else heavy running on it.
  2. Use a shorter, heavier extension cord. Long, thin cords starve the motor and trip breakers.
  3. Don't force the tool — a dull bit, blade or disc makes the motor draw more current.

Reference draft — always follow the manufacturer’s manual.

Overheating, burning smell or heavy sparkingShared · Electric (corded)

Checks to try, in order

  1. Stop and unplug the tool.
  2. Check the motor vents aren't blocked with dust.
  3. Let it cool, fit a sharp accessory and let the tool's weight do the work.

Heavy sparking from the vents or a burning smell that returns points to worn brushes or a failing motor — workshop only.

Reference draft — always follow the manufacturer’s manual.
