Foreword
We congratulate you on your purchase of your new Bona FlexiSand 1.9, a
powerful and versatile machine for sanding, cleaning, buing and oiling
wooden floors! Equipped with a Concrete Disc (accessories) it can also
be used for the preparation of concrete floors, levelling compounds,
cementitious screeds and so on. With the Bona Power Drive attached, you
are able to perform direction-free sanding to bare wood. Four counter-
rotating discs provide a high cut rate which can reach very close to the
wall and as such reducing the need for edge sanding.

Operator Safety (Cont.)
Sanding/finishing can create an environment that can be explosive.
The following safety procedures must be adhered to:
• Cigarette lighters, pilot lights, and any other sources 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.
• Work areas that are poorly ventilated can create an explosive environment when certain combustible
materials (solvents, thinners, alcohol, fuels, certain finishes, wood dust,etc) are in the atmosphere.
Floor sanding machines can cause flammable material and vapors to ignite. Read the manufacturer’s label
on all chemicals being used to determine combustibility. Keep the work area well ventilated.
• 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.
Electrocution could occur if the machine is used on a power circuit that repeatedly trips or is undersized.
Have a licensed electrician check the fuse, breaker, or power supply.
Electrocution could occur if maintenance and repairs are performed on a unit that is not properly
disconnected from the power source. Disconnect the machine from all power.
Electrocution could occur if the machine is used on an ungrounded electrical circuit. Never remove or
disable the grounding supply conductor on the electrical cord.
Consult an electrician if the grounding conductor is missing or if you suspect your circuit is not grounded
properly.
Use of this machine with a damaged power cord or plug could result in an electric shock. DO NOT pull
or carry by cord, use power cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or
corners.
DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the power cord. DO NOT handle plug or
operate machine with wet hands. DO NOT put any objects into motor openings.
Electrocution or injury could occur if the power cord is run over and damaged by the sanding machines.
Keep the cord away from contact with the sanding heads. Always lift the cord over the machine and sand
away from the cord.
Moving parts on this machine can cause serious injury and or damage. Keep hands, feet, hair, and loose
clothing away from all moving parts of the unit.
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.

Prevention Measures for Users
Personal safety measures
Compliance with safety measures and warnings
Sawdust can spread through the air and be inhaled when using the sanding machine. Always wear a dust
mask when using the sanding equipment.
The eyes and/or body may suer injury if personal safety clothing is not used. Always wear safety goggles,
protective clothing and a dust mask during sanding operations.
Lengthy exposure to noise levels during sanding operations may damage the hearing. Always use ear
protectors during sanding operations.
Never become distracted during sanding operations, check what is happening continually. Use common
sense. DO NOT use the machine when tired.
Using the machine when not fully assembled may cause injury or damage to people or objects. DO NOT
use the machine when it is not fully assembled. Keep all fittings tightly closed. Maintain machine settings in
accordance with the specifications.
Using the machine without the safety guards and covers in position may cause injury or damage. Always
ensure that all safety guards and covers are in position and secured well.
The sanding machine 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. No sources of fire
should be kept near the work area.
Poorly ventilated work areas may create an explosive environment when some combustible materials
are present in the atmosphere, such as solvents, thinners, alcohol, fuel, some paints, wood dust or
other combustible materials. 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 damage 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 death due to electrocution. Disconnect the power supply before carrying out any
maintenance and/or repair work.
