Operator Safety (Cont.)
Sanding may create an explosive environment. Cigarettes, cigars, pipes, lighters, pilot flames, or any other
source of fire may create an explosion, if lit during sanding operations. All sources of ignition should be
removed entirely from the work area.
Poorly ventilated work areas may create an explosive environment, when some combustible materials
(solvents, thinners, alcohol, fuel, some paints, wood dust, etc) are present in the atmosphere. Floor sanding
may cause various materials and fumes to ignite. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for each chemical
product used and establish its combustibility. Always keep the work area well-ventilated.
Striking nails when sanding may generate an explosion or fire. Always ensure all nails are sunk before
sanding surfaces.
Serious injury and/or death due to electrocution may occur, if the power supply circuit trips repeatedly or is
undersized. Have the fuses, safety circuit and power supply line checked by an authorized electrician.
Performing maintenance and/or repairing the machine, when it is not fully disconnected from the power
supply, may cause serious injury and/or death due to electrocution. Disconnect the power supply before
carrying out any maintenance and/or repair work.
The use of this machine on a circuit which is not grounded may cause serious injury and/or death due to
electrocution. Never disconnect or disable the grounding conductor. Consult an electrician, if the ground
conductor is missing or it is suspected that the circuit is not suitably grounded.
The use of this machine with a damaged power supply cable may cause electric shock. Check the
power supply cable regularly for damage, such as splitting or wear and tear. DO NOT use
the machine, if the power supply cable is damaged. DO NOT use the electric cable to move
the machine. DO NOT close a door on cord. DO NOT pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
DO NOT unplug by pulling on power supply cable. To unplug grasp the plug. DO NOT handle plug or operate
machine with wet hands. DO NOT put any objects into motor openings.
Serious injury and/or death due to electrocution may occur if the machine runs over the power supply
cable and it becomes damaged. Keep the cable away from the sanding tool. Always keep the power supply
cable raised above the machine and sand away from the power supply cable.
The moving parts on this machine may cause serious injury and/or damage. Keep hands, feet and loose
clothing away from all moving parts of the machine.
Operating the machine without all guards, doors, or covers in place can cause an injury or damage.
DO NOT pass with the machine on objects that are hot, burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or
cinders.

machine is connected to the power supply. Always unplug the machine when not in use.
DO NOT use solvents or other flammable products to clean this machine.
Dry use only. DO NOT use for liquid recovery, which could result in motor failure, electric shock,
and electrocution.
Never become distracted during sanding operations, check what is happening continually. Use common
sense. DO NOT use the machine, if you are tired, have consumed alcohol or have taken medication that may
aect your judgement or your body control.

Bona Edge Manual
Starting Machine Description
When sanding hold the machine, use both handles and move the machine in circles in the
direction of rotation over the surface which is to be sanded. It is important that the machine rests
on three points, both the wheels and the sanding disc.
The best result is obtained by letting the machine work with its own weight.
When using fine abrasives you must be careful not to make any burn marks due to high friction
created.
In addition to the points noted the sanding must be adapted to the type, patter and composition
of the floor.
Working method
Machine use
The machine is intended for the edge sanding of wooden floors. It maybe used on newly laid and untreated floors and existing floors that have been
treated with lacquer or oil.
The main function of the machine is to serve as a complement to a belt or a drum sander for sanding edges.
The machine has been thoroughly checked and approved before leaving the factory.
Starting the machine
1) Become familiar with the machine and read all instructions &
safety notices. Ensure that all operators read this manual.
4) Fit the disc in accordance with the 'Abrasive Assembly
Procedures' (pg.15-16).
2) Bring the machine to the place of work.
3) If using DCS, connect DCS pipe and suction pipe of the machine. If
using a dust bag, place the dust bag on the suction pipe.

Starting Machine Description
6) Raise the disc so that the machine is only resting on the floor with
its wheels. Then, press the starting/stopping button on the side of
machine..
5) Locate the power supply. The socket must be compatible with the
plug. To avoid electrical hazards the socket must be grounded with
a 20 Amp fuse. Connect the plug to the socket.
7) Keep the machine moving when the abrasive disc is lowered
and in contact with the work surface.
8) To stop the machine, raise the disc so that the machine is only
resting on the floor with its wheels. Then press the starting/
stopping button on the side of machine.
The disc does not stop immediately! Take care not to touch it with any part of the body during
