Wet sanding using a machine

Removing stubborn dirt, protective treatment or changes in the surface from floor coverings using the sanding equipment and the LS single-brush machine. Suitable for smooth, water-resistant floor coverings. Note: This will usually also remove any coating material.

Preparatory work

Select suitable products to match the surface to be cleaned (type / square metres) and the type of soiling.
Check, equip and ready the machine and all accessories in compliance with the instructions for use.
Mount the water tank on the machine.
Fill the water tank with water.
Put up the warning sign.

Main task

Start by wet sanding along the edges manually or using the machine.
Attach the sanding equipment with the LS pad drive disc to the LS single-brush machine.
Set the correct height for the upright handle.
Switch on the machine. The connection must audibly click into place.
Wet sand the floor using the LS single-brush machine and the sanding equipment applying additional water in overlapping passes and a circular motion; after 2-3 passes, wet sand the finished passes crosswise (painter method).
Reverse or replace the sanding equipment when it gets dirty; continue with step 2 of the main task until the entire area is sanded.
Use a wet vacuum cleaner or scrubber-dryer to remove the dirty water.
Perform a visual check.
