At the bottom of their home page, Oreck [http://www.oreck.com/] has provided a link to the list of user guides for their products. Thinking that I needed one of these also, I bought this pad holder as an accessory to the floor machine but, one was also included with the main unit.

I actually purchased TWO of these. One has two different grade cloth polishing pads on it, and the second, a standard grinding wheel on one spindle and a wire brush on the other. I often use it on wood to do final shaping and it works fine. I have removed the entire guard so as to have better access, but would not recommend that unless you are VERY careful.

No. On the bottom is a groove that holds either the pad... Which, especially if you had 2 of them, you could use for polishing I guess... Or you can use the brush for scrubbing. The pad is like a soft washcloth you velcro onto its holder to wash the floors. I LOVE MY BISSELL!! Although, they came out w/ the Symphony (at 2+x the price!!) and that one has steam heat for cleaning... When I wear this one out, I'm going for the Symphony.

Hi, No, the foam pad would not. However, a buffing cloth may leave lint, especially since there is a lot of force required to buff the dry wax.

Marius, I use the Astro Pneumatic as a base to which I attach hook and loop foam polishing pads. I could see where you might attach sanding discs to it as well, but I have never done that, so couldn't recommend it one way or the other. It is very rigid and I suspect that you would need more flexibility for sanding purposes. Good luck. Bob

I use it without bonnets for applying polish or wax. I use bonnets over it for removing polish or wax.

There should be a manual in the box. While it is limited in information, it does provide helpful information such as which speed setting to use for different applications. It also indicates which color pad to use for polishing, waxing and finishing. I would contact Amazon or Griot's Garage direct.

This is for the machine only. You will need a pad driver, pads and of course you will need wax

Everything you need is in the box. You don't need to use anything else either before or after........this wax in the box (final step of 4) is a liquid and it will, if really buffed goodand I use an old, fluffy robe, make your car shine like a glass mirror!!! Just do all the steps as instructed............... I LOVE THIS PRODUCT for my black 2002 pt crusier................fills in any scratches, sm dings but WEAR GLOVES and only use old, soft, material things like old socks etc because it is soooooo good it will TURN YOUR HANDS, EVERYTHING IT TOUCHES BLACK!!

It comes with an adhesive pad that is intended to stay on the helmet to hold the mounting clip on. I actually bought two units so I was able to change them out. I'm pretty sure it came with extra pads, too. You may be able to remove the pad but you'd have to be careful cleaning any leftover adhesive and of course would have to use a new pad next time. Any good similar pad would work. Side note - I eventually bought SENA units and no comparison. Work as intercom and much better quality.

If you have a mandrel for it, but I think you will have a tough time controlling the pad with a drill. I personally would buy a buffing machine.

You will need to order "attachments" separately. I ordered the starter kit. So far I've used everything in the kit with remarkable results. I've also ordered pads from 3M (red and white; come in packs of 5). I use the white pad (with Oreck's floor cleaner) to clean our laminate floors, followed by the terry buff pad or the "lambs wool" pad (another accessory). Recently I used the orange brush wheel to clean our tile floor (the grout was pretty "grungy"), looks like it was newly installed when I finished. I've also had excellent results with the carpet soil lifter, dry cleaner and black brush (results I was previously unable to accomplish with other carpet cleaners).

The polisher did not come with pads. Buy meguiars polishing, finishing and cutting pads. The polisher already comes with the Velcro backing pad.

I used it with the 4" wet/dry diamond polishing pad 10 piece set which has a 5/8 inch screw on base and Velcro pads. It did a nice job polishing the granite cuts I did. Not sure what pad came with the unit.

We include them, but you may not even need them.Use foam pads as needed. Electric scooters/wheelchairs with padded armrests will need 1 pad (if any), manual wheelchairs may require both foam pads for additional grip/support.Previous users have also cut one of the extra foam pads into strips and placed inside the cup holder portion for a more secure grip on beverages.

The polishing pads will not last without water as a lubricant. They will burn up with little use.

This is the hook end. The material on the buffing pad will attach to this (Velcro type)
