DANGER: Sanding/finishing wood floors can create an
enironment that can e eposie igarette
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 explosive 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 manufacturer’s
label on all chemicals used to determine
combustibility. Keep the work area well
ventilated.
DANGER: Sanding dust can self 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. Empty the contents
frequently. 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 countersink all nails
before sanding floors.

Operating Instructions
EN
To operate the machine follow this procedure:
1. Before sanding, decide on best approach for sanding
ee e the oo uee t e ece to
sand diagonally to the direction that the floor is laid. This
will help “pull” or stretch low and high spots in the floor
over a greater area, producing a flatter surface.
e cut hou e eoe t e
oxte 1 to the ecto o the oo ut
direction should change on successive cuts with the final
cut performed in the direction of the wood grain. This will
minimize the tendency of waves to form and provide the
most even floor surface.
When sanding the area, work so that you are moving away
from where the cord set enters the room. This will help
to avoid entanglement with the cord set and eliminate the
need to move the cord set out of the way so frequently.
Work the area in a way that avoids interruption or
termination points (an end of pass.) Make long continuous
passes.
2 ce to e o che oote the ecto
you intend to work. Rotate elbow on dust pipe until
dust bag rests on motor. This will maintain balance and
sanding pressure as the dust bag fills. The machine
should be operated with the dust bag in this position
whenever possible.

engaged with the surface or dwell marks will occur.

10. Empty contents of the dust bag into a metal container located outside the building. Dust bag should be emptied whenever full, as indicated on
bag.
WARNING: Serious operator injury could occur if the operator
has tied or strapped the loose end of the operator’s
belt strap to the machine. Always wrap the strap
so that you can let go and get away quickly in case
of bag fire or explosion.
4. Activate the control switch.

Sander Adjustment Procedures
DANGER: Electrocution could occur if maintenance and repairs are
performed on a unit that is not properly disconnected from
the power source. Disconnect the power supply before
attempting any maintenance or service.
DANGER: Moving parts of this machine can cause serious injury and/or
damage. Keep hands, feet and loose clothing away from all
moving parts of the sander.
The following information provides details on how to adjust different features/
controls of the sander.

side opposite the drive belts). Test the setting on an even surface.
Make further adjustments if necessary.
3. Mark new pointer location on main frame.
Belt Tracking
NOTE: The sanding belt should run evenly on the face of the drum. For
this, the outer edge of the sanding belt must be .09 inches (2mm) out from
the end of the drum. This provides optimum transition between “passes”.
WARNING: Injury to the operator could occur if any
machine adjustments are made while the
motor is running. Do not attempt to make any
adjustments while the machine is plugged in or
running.
