Operator Safety Instructions
EN
DANGER:
Failure to read the Owner’s Manual prior to operating or servicing your American Sanders machine could result in injury to
you or to other personnel; damage to the machine or to other property could occur as well. You must have training in the
operation of this machine before using it. If you or your operator(s) cannot read English, have this manual explained fully
before attempting to operate this machine.
DANGER:
A. Sanding/finishing wood floors can create an explosive or combustible environment. Do not operate this machine around
solvents, thinners, alcohol, fuels, floor finishes, wood dust or any other flammable materials. Cigarette lighters, pilot lights,
electrical sparks and all other sources of ignition should be extinguished or avoided. Keep work area well ventilated.
B. Dust generated from sanding wood floors can spontaneously ignite or explode. Promptly dispose of any sanding dust in a
metal container clear of any combustibles. Do not dispose in a fire.
DANGER:
A. Electrocution could occur if the machine is being serviced while the machine is connected to a power source. Disconnect
the power supply before servicing.
B. Electrocution or fire could occur if the machine is being operated with a damaged power cord. Keep the power cord clear
of the pad. Always lift the cord over the machine. Do not move the machine by the power cord.
C.Shock hazard. Do not use the machine if it has been rained on or sprayed with water.
DANGER:
To avoid injury keep hands, feet, and loose clothing away from all moving parts on the machine. Disconnect the power cord
before replacing the pad, changing the abrasive, or when servicing. Do not operate the machine unless all guards are in place.
Never leave the machine unattended while connected to a power source.
WARNING:
Injury can occur if protective clothing or equipment is not used while sanding. Always wear safety goggles, protective clothing,
and dust mask while sanding.
WARNING:
This sander is not to be used on pressure treated wood. Some pressure treated woods contain arsenic and sanding pressure
treated wood produces hazardous dust. Inhaling hazardous dust from pressure treated wood can cause serious injury or
death. Sanding pressure treated wood decks or uneven surfaces can damage the sander which is not covered under warranty
or damage waiver.
WARNING:
Any alterations or modifications of this machine could result in damage to the machine or injury to the operator or other
bystanders. Alterations or modifications not authorized by the manufacturer voids any and all warranties and liabilities.
WARNING:
Risk of explosion. Floor sanding can result in an explosive mixture of fine dust and air. Use floor sanding machine only in a
well-ventilated area free from any flame or match.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future use.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your main-operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work Area Safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutter or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical Safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
