DANGER: Sanding/finishing wood floors can create conditions that could produce a fire or explosion.
Followtheseprecautions:
• Do not sand over exposed nails. The grindings may enter the dust bag and ignite the
contents. Set all exposed nails before sanding.

electrified. Consult an electrician if the grounding conductor is missing or you suspect
thecircuit has nogroundingconductor. Do not removeordisable the groundingconduc-
tor on the electrical cord. For added protection, use machine on a circuit equipped with
agroundfaultcircuit interrupter.
• Do not service the machine while connected to an electrical circuit. Doing so might
result in contact with electrical components.
• Do not use the machine with a damaged electrical cord. Inspect the cord for damage to
the jacket and connector(s) before connecting the machine to an electrical circuit. Do
not use the cord to move the machine. Keep the cord clear of the sanding drum. Lift
