A. 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.
B. Work areas that are poorly ventilated can create an explosive environment when certain combustible materials are in the
atmosphere, i.e., solvents, thinners, alcohol, fuels, certain nishes, wood dust and other combustible materials. Floor
sanding equipment can cause ammable material and vapors to burn. Read the manufacturer’s label on all chemicals
used to determine combustibility. Keep the work area well ventilated.
C. Spontaneous combustion or an explosion can occur when working with sanding dust. The sanding dust can self-ignite
and cause injury or damage. Sanding dust should be disposed of properly. Always empty the sanding dust into a metal
container that is located outside of any building(s).
D. Remove the contents of the dust bag when the bag is 1/3 full. Remove the contents of the dust bag each time you nish
using the equipment. Never leave a dust bag unattended with sanding dust in it.
E. Do not empty the contents of the dust bag into a re.
F. Hitting a nail while sanding can cause sparks and create an explosion or re. Always use a hammer and punch to
countersink all nails before sanding oors.
