Safety Practices:

Sanding dust is flammable!

Empty and clean dust bag

when not in use.

Always wear safety

goggles, protective

clothing, and a dust mask

while sanding.

Keep the dust bag

emptied. Dust generated

from sanding wood floors

can spontaneously ignite

or explode. Promptly

dispose of any sanding

dust in a metal container

clear of any combustibles.

Do not dispose in a fire.

Keep the work area well

ventilated.

Sanding/finishing wood

floors can create an

explosive or combustible

environment. Do not

operate this machine

around solvents, thinners,

fuels, floor finishes, or any

other flammable materials.

Keep hands, feet, and

loose clothing away from

all moving parts on the

machine.

Disconnect the power cord

before replacing the pad or

the abrasive.

Never leave the machine

unattended while it is

source.
