How to Operate the Machine
DANGER: Sanding/finishing wood floors
can create an environment that
can be explosive. 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.
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 use a
hammer and punch to counter-
sink all nails before sanding
floors.
