EZ-Sand Orbital Sander
Operation and Safety
Safety Practices:
Sanding dust is flammable!
Empty and clean dust bag
when not in use.
Always wear safety
goggles, protective
clothing, and a dust mask
while sanding.
Keep the dust bag
emptied. 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.
Keep the work area well
ventilated.
Sanding/finishing wood
floors can create an
explosive or combustible
environment. Do not
operate this machine
around solvents, thinners,
fuels, floor finishes, or any
other flammable materials.
Keep hands, feet, and
loose clothing away from
all moving parts on the
machine.
Disconnect the power cord
before replacing the pad or
the abrasive.
Never leave the machine
unattended while it is
connected to a power
source.
