Operating Instructions
DANGER:
Sanding/finishing wood floors can create
an environment that can be explosive.
Cigarette lighters, pilot lights and any other
source of ignition can create an explosion
when active during a sanding session. All
sources of ignition should be extinguished
or removed entirely if possible from the
work area.
DANGER:
Work areas that are poorly ventilated
can create an explosive environment
when certain combustible materials are in
the atmosphere, i.e., solvents, thinners,
alcohol, fuels, certain finishes, wood dust
and other combustible materials. Floor
sanding machines can cause flammable
material and vapors to ignite. Read the
manufac-turer's label on all chemicals
used to determine combustibility. Keep
the work area well ventilated.
DANGER:
Sanding dust can spontaneously ignite and
cause an injury or damage. Sanding dust
should be disposed of properly. Always
empty the sanding dust into a metal con-
tainer. Remove the contents of the dust
bag when the bag is 1/3 full.
DANGER:
Sanding dust can spontaneously ignite
and cause an injury or damage. Remove
the contents of the dust bag each time you
finish using the machine. Always dispose
of the dust in a metal container located
outside of the building. Never leave a
dust bag unattended with sanding dust in
it. Do not empty the contents of the dust
bag into a fire.
DANGER:
Hitting a nail while sanding can cause
sparks and create an explosion or fire.
Always use a hammer and punch to coun-
tersink all nails before sanding floors.
Figure 5
1. Install the operator's belt as follows:
a. Position the operator's belt around waist.
b. Cross the straps at the waist. See figure 5.
c. Slide the belt loop end over the handle on the control
lever side. Adjust the length as needed.
d. Wrap the remaining strap around the opposite side of
the handle and hold it in place with your hand.
WARNING:
Should quick release of the machine be
necessary, serious operator injury could
occur if the operator has tied the loose end
of the operator's belt strap to the machine.
Always position the strap so that you can
let go and get away quick in case of bag
fire or explosion.
2. Put the On/Off switch into the "ON" position.
DANGER:
Serious damage can occur to the floor
surface if the machine is not in motion while
the contact wheel is running on the floor
surface. To prevent damage to the surface,
make sure the machine is always moving
when the contact wheel is in contact with
the floor.
3. Work right to left. For each forward pass, move the
machine 4" over the pass you have just finished. Retrace
your reverse path without overlapping. See figure 6.
4. Feather-cut in by easing the contact wheel down onto the
surface with the control lever while the sander is in motion.
5. When contact wheel is fully engaged with the surface,
gradually adjust your pace for adequate finish removal.
Keep sander in motion while the contact wheel is engaged
with the surface or dwell marks will occur.
6. Move the machine in the direction of the grain in the wood
whenever it is possible. Sand the surface at a constant
pace.
7. Gradually feather-cut out at the termination point (the end
of your pass) by easing the contact wheel up with the con-
trol lever. Stagger the termination points for a better blend
when edging.
8. Empty dust bag whenever it is 1/3 full. Never leave a dust
bag unattended with sanding dust in it. Sanding dust can
spontaneously ignite and cause a fire or explosion. Empty
dust into a metal container located outside of the building.
