@@AmreSupply hey, one question about burnishing,. And I received a lot of compliments on my floor BTW, I was watching one video and it was saying to start the burnisher before the pad hits the floor AND also to lift up off the floor FIRST before stopping the machine. I never heard this. Why is this? the only thing I could possibly think of it is to prevent damage to the floor. But I've never had that happen.
@@matthewboyce5123 That technique is likely mentioned to try to prevent creating any marks when starting or stopping the machine. A properly adjusted machine shouldn't burn the floor when it starts up.
@@AmreSupply hopefully last question, I did something very stupid and rest assured I do know better. I don't want to go into details all I'll say is I put some floor finish on the floor and burnished over it. I think the motor got overheated, as it slowed down and stopped. Please don't ask me why this is very embarrassing, once again I do better. My question is, will the burnisher be okay after the motor cools down.
@@matthewboyce5123 If the motor overheated but the motor windings are still intact then the motor should still run after it cools down. Regardless should be able to check the motor with the machine unplugged. With the switch turned on, you can check for continuity with a multimeter. You will check between the two blade terminals on the power cord. There should be some resistance when the power switch is turned on: Resistance means that there's a continuous electrical path, or continuity. th-cam.com/video/iIQ14vTxVK0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching. Thanks for watching with the angle of the burnisher, the plastic should not be deep into the floor. If you see any scratching you can adjust the height / pressure which should resolve it.
Thanks for watching. For that model your best bet is to find the parts diagram for your burnisher and there should be a part number for the pad holder. From there enter the part number in the amresupply.com search. We don't carry every accessory for all models but its worth looking up the part number.
Thank you for your question Mike. Too little pressure and the pad won't polish the floor and too much pressure and you'll start to burn the floor finish. Each machine and pad is different so its best to test burnisher on a less conspicuous area of the floor first and adjust the pressure there before moving onto the rest of the floor. When the pressure is right, you'll see the floor gloss increase without any muddy or burn spots.
Well done video. Didn’t waste my time with mucky-muck. Thank you for taking the time to impart your wisdom.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic video!
I'm a floor technician who actually is self taught of burnishing. Thanks for the tip on wiping down the cord I did not know that.
Thank you Matthew, we're glad that you found the video helpful! All the best to you!

Doesnt the center locking plastic scratch the floor?
Thanks for watching. Thanks for watching with the angle of the burnisher, the plastic should not be deep into the floor. If you see any scratching you can adjust the height / pressure which should resolve it.
Also, that would be a sure test of time to chuck the pad and put on a new one. Dig.

How do you know when it's enough pressure
