5. Operating Instructions

The Oreck Orbiter's random orbital pattern provides fingertip control, making it easy to maneuver and preventing brush marks or swirls on your floors.

5.1 General Operation

1. Prepare Area: Clear the floor of any loose debris or obstacles.
2. Plug In: Connect the power cord to a suitable electrical outlet.
3. Start Machine: Tilt the handle slightly to engage the motor and start the orbital motion. The machine will float over the floor with minimal effort.
4. Guide Machine: Gently guide the machine over the desired area. Avoid forcing or pushing the machine, as its weight and orbital action are designed to do the work.
5. Stop Machine: Return the handle to an upright position to disengage the motor. Unplug the machine after use.

5.2 Specific Applications

• Hard Floor Cleaning (Scrubbing, Polishing, Waxing):
  Attach the appropriate pad (e.g., scrubbing pad for deep cleaning, polishing pad for shine). Apply the recommended cleaning solution or wax directly to the floor or pad as per product instructions. Guide the Orbiter over the surface in overlapping passes.
• Carpet Cleaning:
  Use a carpet bonnet or brush designed for carpet cleaning. Apply a carpet cleaning solution according to the solution manufacturer's instructions. Guide the Orbiter over the carpet, allowing the orbital action to work the solution into the fibers and lift dirt.
• Sanding/Refinishing:
  Attach a sanding screen or appropriate abrasive pad. Ensure the floor is clean and dry. Follow specific instructions for sanding and refinishing products. The Orbiter's random orbital motion helps prevent swirl marks.
