Background and Identification

The Clarke Floor Buffer 01278A is a floor maintainer from Clarke released in 2016. This floor maintainer can be used for floor maintenance, restoration, stripping, buffing, waxing, and polishing. Various pads can be used in conjunction with the Clarke Floor Buffer 01278A to achieve different results. For instance, a brush can be used for cleaning, a polishing pad should be used for polishing, and sandpaper can be used for abrasive intents like stripping.

For device operation, the selected pad must first be inserted into the device’s base. Then, the handle height can be adjusted to make the Clarke Floor Buffer 01278A easy to operate. Once the handle is at an appropriate height, the user can then plug in the device’s power cord and start the motor.

The Clarke Floor Buffer 01278A has a circular base that glides across the floor with the chosen pad. This base also houses the motor and has an attached filter bag. A long pole connects the base to a handle for user operation. The device is both gray and black in color.
