MACHINE OPERATION
DANGER:
Sanding wooden floors may lead to an explosive environment. Cigarettes, cigars,
pipes, lighters, pilot lights and all other sources of fire may cause an explosion if
they are used while sanding. Sources of fire must be completely removed from
the work area.
DANGER:
Poorly ventilated work areas may lead to an explosive environment when certain
combustible materials are present in the air, such as, for example, solvents,
thinners, alcohols, fuels, some paints, sawdust and other combustible materials.
Machines for sanding floors can cause combustible materials and vapours to
ignite. Read the manufacturers' instructions on each chemical product used in
order to decide whether it is combustible. Keep the work area well ventilated.
DANGER:
Dust created by sanding may spontaneously ignite and cause injury or damage.
Dust from sanding must be dealt with suitably. Always empty the sanding dust into
metal containers located outside the building.
DANGER:
Dust created by sanding may spontaneously ignite and cause injury or damage.
Empty the dust bag when it is one-third full. Empty the dust bag each time after
finishing with the machine. Never leave the dust bag unattended when it contains
sanding dust.
DANGER:
Knocking against nails while sanding may cause explosion or start a fire. Always
sink all nails completely before sanding the surfaces.

During the winter, with very low temperatures, if the first startup is difficult, remove
the abrasive belt, start up the motor and allow it to idle for a few minutes. Then
replace the belt and repeat the startup operations described above.
WARNING:
This machine is fitted with a safety switch. If there is a power failure during the
work, the contactor automatically trips and prevents the machine from starting up
accidentally when power is restored. In order to start work again, the startup
procedure described above must be repeated.
