Operating Instructions - Sanding
To operate the machine, follow this procedure:
1. Move machine to work location. When sand-
ing the area, work so that you are moving
away from the power supply. This will help
to avoid damaging the power cord and re-
duce the need to move the power cord as
frequently.
NOTE: For sanding cuts and sandpaper, see
page 13.
WARNING: Injury can occur if the machine is
connected to a power source
while installing or replacing the
abrasives. Disconnect the ma-
chine before installing the abra-
sives.
2. Install the abrasive. Use the same proce-
dure outlined in MACHINE SETUP for in-
stalling the sandpaper or screen / pad.
(See Page 5)
DANGER: Electrocution could occur if the
machine is used on an un-
grounded electrical circuit. Al-
ways use a three-wire electrical
system connected to the electri-
cal ground. Never remove or dis-
able the grounding supply con-
ductor on the electrical cord.
Consult an electrician if the
grounding conductor is missing
or if you suspect your circuit is
not grounded properly.
3. Koosen the head pressure until the rubber foot
is not touching the mainframe. (See Figure
16) Tighten until the rubber foot touches the
main frame. Adjust to suit by running the ma-
chine, then making adjustments either up or
down to get sanding action desired.
4. Connect machine’s power cord to an appro-
priately fused and grounded circuit.
5. Stand behind the handle, place the rocker
switch to “Automatic” and press the green
start switch. To stop the machine, press the
red stop button. (See Figure 17)
CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to
the flooring and to reduce heat
buildup, keep the machine in mo-
tion while the motor is running.
6. The operator must be moving the machine
when the machine is running. The operator
may move the machine in any direction when
sanding the floor.
