Important Safeguards
WARNING:
Risk of explosion. Floor sanding can result in an explosive mixture of fine dust and air. Use the floor
machine for sanding only in a well-ventilated area free form any flame or match. A Sterling HEPA Air Scrubber is also
recommended for dust management.
WARNING:
Risk of fire: Do not use with a flammable or combustible liquid to clean a floor.
MOTOR VOLTAGE RATING:
Sterling floor machines are powered by 1.5 HP AC Commercial Grade Motors. Be sure
your power supply reflects the voltage rating on the motor nameplate. Voltage decreases of more than 10% can cause
the motor to fail.
EXTENSION CORDS:
Machines that have 3 wire cords requiring grounding must only be used with extension cords
that have 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles. Be sure not to use an extension cord that is not dam-
aged or having a defective plug. To determine the minimum wire size required, refer to the chart below:
