Warning:
Always turn the power switch to “OFF” and UNPLUG the machine prior to:
emptying the bag, changing the sandpaper disc, doing any maintenance, or leaving the machine
unattended.
Warning:
This machine was solely manufactured for plugging into a grounded three-wire
electrical power source with a circuit breaker system. Never plug it into any other type of
electrical power source. If the circuit repeatedly trips or breaks while using it have a licensed
electrician check the line.
Warning:
This machine’s sanding pad revolves at high speeds. It can damage things and cause
injuries. If the sanding disc connects with any part of the electrical line it can damage it. Never
use this machine with a damaged or defective cord or extension cord.
Warning:
Never use the machine with any kind of extension other than that supplied by the
manufacturer. Prior to plugging the machine to the extension cord always turn the machine’s
power switch “OFF”. Prior to plugging the extension line’s plug into an electrical power source
make sure the machine’s plug is properly twisted tight and securely connected to the extension.
Warning:
Never use this machine outside in anything but completely dry conditions. Never
run the supplied extension cord over any moist areas such as outdoor grass without using a
ground fault interrupter (GFI). If the machine gets wet do not connect it to an electrical power
source until it is completely dry.
Warning:
This floor-sanding machine can cause dust to be airborne. Always make certain the
machine’s bag is properly connected to the dust pipe. Always wear a properly sealed and
highly rated dust mask, protective goggles, tight fitting clothing and shoes while operating this
machine.
Warning:
Do not alter or modify this machine in any way. Making any modifications will void
warranties and liabilities.
Warning:
Always make certain the manufacturer’s warning labels are fastened to the machine.
If they wear off or become unreadable contact the manufacturer for replacements.
Caution:
Serious damage can be done to a floor if the machine is operated when it is not set up
properly or if it is run and held still in one spot with the sanding disc spinning. Always sand
with a constant motion using only the machine’s weight as pressure.
Caution:
Do not rest a machine for long periods on its sanding pad. This may cause a flat spot
and reduce the quality of performance. To rest the machine, tip it on its back or side.
