Abstract
A machine for treating a surface lying in an XY-plane comprising a body, a body plate attached to the body, a drive assembly attached to the body and a cleaning plate assembly. The drive assembly includes a motor having a motor and a transmission driven by the motor. The cleaning plate assembly includes a cleaning plate connected to the transmission to be driven in an oscillating pattern parallel to the XY-plane and relative to the body plate. The cleaning plate assembly includes a cleaning head detachably fastened to the cleaning plate. The cleaning head includes one of a hook or loop surface and the cleaning plate includes the other one of a hook or loop surface whereby the cleaning head is detachably fastened to the cleaning plate by loop and hook fastening.
