Sanding/finishing wood floors can create an environment that can be explosive. The following safety proce-
dures must be adhered to:
Cigarette lighters, pilot lights and any other source of ignition can create an explosion when active during a
sanding session. All sources of ignition should be extinguished or removed entirely if possible from the
work area.
Work areas that are poorly ventilated can create an explosive environment when certain combustible
materials are in the atmosphere, i.e., solvents, thinners, alcohol, fuels, certain finishes, wood dust and
other combustible materials. Floor sanding machines can cause flammable material and vapors to burn.
Read the manufacturer’s label on all chemicals used to determine combustibility. Keep the work area well
ventilated.
Spontaneous combustion or an explosion can occur when working with sanding dust. The sanding dust
can ignite and cause injury or damage. Sanding dust should be disposed of properly. Always empty the
sanding dust into a metal container that is located outside of any building(s).
Hitting a nail while sanding can cause sparks and create an explosion or fire. Always
use a hammer and punch to countersink all nails before sanding floors.
Operating a machine that is not completely or fully assembled could result in injury or property damage. Do
not operate this machine until it is completely assembled. Keep all fasteners tight. Keep adjustments
according to machine specifications

DANGER:
Electrocution could occur if the machine is used on a power circuit that repeatedly trips or is undersized.
Have a licensed electrician check the fuse, circuit breaker or power supply
Electrocution could occur if maintenance and repairs are performed on a unit that is not properly disconnected
from the power source. Disconnect the power supply before attempting any maintenance or service.
This tool has not been waterproofed; so do not use water on work piece surface or operate in water.
Use of this machine with a damaged power cord could result in an electrical shock. Do not use the machine
if the power cord is damaged. Do not use the electrical cord to move the machine.
Hold tool by insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
Electrocution or injury could occur if the power cord is run over or damaged by the sander. Keep the cord free
from under the machine to avoid contact with the sandpaper. Always lift the power cord over the machine.
Moving parts of this machine can cause serious injury and/or damage. Keep hands, feet, and loose clothing
away from all moving parts of the sander. Disconnect machine from the power source before changing the
abrasive or performing any maintenance.
Do not operate unless all covers and guards are in place
.
Never leave machine unattended while motor is running or connected to power source.
