General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, re and or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future use.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your main-operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutter or dark areas invite accidents .
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gasses, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock .
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded .
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock .
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock .

4
EN
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) or ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI ) protected supply. Use of a RCD or GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock .
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injury.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure switch is in off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up, or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energizing power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents .
d) Remove any adjustment wrench or key before turning the power tool on. A wrench or key left attached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations .
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards. It is recommendation that the tool always be supplied
via a residual current device with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed .
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired .
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or storing power tools. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidently.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits ect. in accordance with these instructions , taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed . Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have the power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained . If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Safety Warnings For Sanding Operations
1. This power tool is intended to function as a sander. Read all safety warnings, instructions and specications provided with
this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re, or personal injury.
2. Operations such as grinding, wire brushing, polishing or cutting-off, are not recommended to be performed with this power tool.
Operations for which the tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
3. Do not use accessories which are not specically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the
accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation .
4. The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories
running faster than their rated speed can break and y apart .
5. The outside diameter and thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized
accessories cannot be adequately guard or controlled.
6. The arbor size of wheels, anges, backing pads or any other accessory must t the spindle of the power tool. Accessories
with arbor holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and
may cause loss of control.
7. Do not use damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheel for chips or cracks, backing
pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires . If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect
for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting or installing an accessory, position yourself or bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute . Damaged
accessories will normally break apart during this time.

5
EN
8. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping ying debris generated by
various operations. The eye protection must be capable of stopping ying debris generated by various operations . The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of ltering particles generated by your operations. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
9. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of work piece or a broken accessory mayy away and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation .
10. Hold power tool by gripping insulated surfaces (handle) only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and shock the operator.
11. Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you loose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your arm or hand
may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
12. Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the
surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
13. Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your
clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
14. Regularly clean the power tools air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation
may cause electrical hazards.
15. Do not operate the power tool near ammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
16. Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturer's recommendations when selecting sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the
disc or kickback.
17. Risk of explosion. Floor sanding can result in an explosive mixture of ne dust and air. Use oor sanding machine only in a
well-ventilated area free from any ame or match.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or
snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating backing pad which in turn causes uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the opposite
direction of the backing pad's rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the work piece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch
point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away
from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under
these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.
1. Maintain a rm grip on the power tool and position your body and arms to allow you to resist kickback forces . Always use
auxiliary handles, if provided for maximum control over kickback or torque reactions during start up. The operator can control
torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
2. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
3. Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in the
direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of the snagging.
4. Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges
or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
Additional Rules For Safe Operation
1. Empty the dust bag or dust collection receiver frequently. Do not leave residue in dust bag or dust collection receiver
unattended . Always empty in a non-combustible metal container. Sanding wood or varnish produces dust that can self ignite
and cause injury or damage. Follow this precaution for storage.
2. Set all exposed nails. Sweep loose abrasive away from work area. Do not strike metal pipes, ect., with sanding paper.
Striking metal or abrasive particles with sanding paper produces sparks that could ignite the sanding dust which can cause
injury or damage.
3. Do not operate a partially assemble power tool. Keep all adjustments within manufacturer's specications. Keep all fasteners
tight. Operating a partially assembled power tool could result in injury to the operator or bystander and could cause damage to
the equipment or surroundings .
4. Do not attempt to change the sanding paper while the power tool is running. The sanding pad can snag clothing and cause
injury to limbs and moving sanding paper can cause abrasions.
5. The power tool should only be used on an electrical system (mains) that is rated for the electrical requirements of the power
tool as shown on the nameplate. Use only on an earthing (grounded) system. Do not service the power tool if it is energized
or connected to an electrical circuit. Improper use could cause re or electric shock.

WARNING: This machine contains moving parts. To reduce the
risk of injury, always unplug the power cord before servicing.

How to Install the Sandpaper
NOTE: Use a sandpaper disc that has a 7" diameter and a ⅞" hole in
the center.
1. Put the machine upside down.
2. A special wrench is in the bracket behind the motor. Use the
special wrench to remove the screw and washer from the center
of the sanding pad. See Figure 3.
3. Put the sanding disc in position on the sanding pad.
4. Put the special washer and the holding screw in position in the
center of the sanding pad.
5. Put one hand on the sandpaper. Using the special wrench, turn
the screw clockwise with the other hand. Make sure the screw is

Always disconnect power before installing abrasive.
CAUTION: Gearbox damage could result from machine resting
upside down for extended periods of time. Lubricant
may drain from gearbox. Always return machine to
upright position after installing abrasive.
Sanding Cuts and Sandpaper
Initial Cut
The purpose of the initial cut is to remove old nish and gross imperfections on the oor surface. A coarse abrasive should be used. If the surface is
severely damaged by deep scratches, pre-existing dwell marks, uneven planks, etc., it may be necessary to sand across or diagonally to the grain to
restore evenness to the surface. If these conditions are not present, the initial cut should be done in the direction of the grain.
If glazing, loading, or burning takes place immediately into an initial cut, select a coarser abrasive. If this should occur during an initial cut, the
abrasive has dulled and must be replaced.
Final Cuts
The purpose of a nishing cut is to remove the scratches produced during the initial cut. Use a ne (60 - 80 grit) grain abrasive.
If the surface remains rough after a nishing cut, it may be necessary to use an even ner grain of abrasive (80 - 100 grit). Care should be taken in
selecting the grit size of the abrasive. A very ne grain will close the pores on a wood oor making admission of a stain difcult.
If glazing or burning should occur immediately into a nishing cut, increase pace. If it should occur during a nishing cut, the abrasive has dulled
and must be replaced.

How To Check The Carbon Brushes
Depending on use, a set of brushes can be expected to last 250 hours
and should be inspected sometime prior to that time.
To check the brushes, follow this procedure:
1. Remove the motor cover. See gure 13.
2. Inspect the carbon brushes. Replace both brushes if either brush
has worn to 3/8" in length, or is worn to the wear indicator. See
gure 14.
3. To replace the brushes, disconnect the eld wire (A) from the
brush holder (B). Then remove the two screws and washers (C)
securing the holder to the motor housing. See gure 15.

American B-2 ha sido especícamente diseñada para el acabado de bordes de pisos, escaleras y otras supercies de difícil alcance. La ubicación de
la manija y el bajo centro de gravedad hacen que American B-2 sea de fácil operación.
Su excelente poder de corte proviene de un poderoso motor de tipo universal, un motor que proporciona un máximo rendimiento sin funcionar con
lentitud ni recalentarse. Su exclusivo control de dos velocidades proporciona 3200 rpm para un lijado rápido, en tosco, cuando se lo coloca en alta
velocidad. A baja velocidad, American B-2 funciona a 2800 rpm para proporcionar un lijado de acabado no. Un protector del disco, que no deja
marcas, resguarda la almohadilla de goma, permitiendo que la canteadora trabaje justo hasta el zócalo o la pared.
La unidad cuenta con la ventaja de una luz delantera estándar incorporada, instalada en fábrica. El diseño incluye un poderoso ventilador y
alojamiento del disco de lijado para proporcionar una efectiva recolección del polvo. Además de un tubo de polvo de fácil extracción que hace de la
limpieza una tarea rápida y simple.
