How to Operate the Machine
DANGER: Sanding/finishing wood floors
can create an environment that
can be explosive. Cigarettes,
cigars, pipes, 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 from the work
area.
DANGER: Work areas that are poorly
ventilated can create an explo-
sive 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 ignite. Read the manufac-
turer's label on all chemicals
used to determine combustibil-
ity. Keep the work area well
ventilated.
DANGER: Sanding dust can spontaneously
ignite and cause an injury or
damage. Sanding dust should
be disposed of properly. Always
empty the sanding dust into a
metal container. Remove the
contents of the dust bag when
the bag is 1/3 full.
DANGER: Sanding dust can spontaneously
ignite and cause an injury or
damage. Remove the contents
of the dust bag each time you
finish using the machine.
Always dispose of the dust in a
metal container located outside
of the building. Never leave a
dust bag unattended with
sanding dust in it. Do not empty
the contents of the dust bag into
a fire.
DANGER: Hitting a nail while sanding can
cause sparks and create an
explosion or fire. Always
countersink all nails before
sanding floors.
