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.

Performing maintenance or replacing the dust bag may cause injury to the operator or people nearby, if the
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.
DO NOT smoke during sanding operation.
DO NOT use this machine to sand steps or furniture. DO NOT ride on this machine.
DO NOT put any objects into openings. DO NOT use with blocked openings. Keep free from dust, lint, hair or
anything that may reduce airflow.
This equipment is for dry use only and must not be used or kept outside in wet conditions. Store the
machine in a dry building, otherwise the machine could be damaged.
Storage temperature from -20°C to 50°C.
Storage
It is advisable to store the machine in its original packaging. Doing so makes it possible to form a column of two packages maximum, with one on
top of the other.
If the machine is removed from the original packaging and is not used for some time ensure the wheels and drum are not in contact with the
ground.

thoroughly inspected and tested before it leaves the factory.
The Machine's Field of Application
Usage technique
1) Begin sanding by lifting the control handle up at the same time
as the control lever is moved forward/downward.
2) Then roll the machine forward at the same time as the control
handle is lowered to the lowest position, then lower the
sanding drum down to the floor and the sanding has begun.
Sanding can be carried out both when the machine is moved
forward and backward.
3) Lift the control handle slightly each time the sanding direction is
changed, then immediately lower the control handle again, as
soon as the new sanding direction has begun.
4) Finish the sanding while the machine is in motion by lifting up
the control handle, thus lifting the sanding drum from the floor.
5) Then move the control lever up/backward to the start position. 6) Stop the motor by pressing the stop button.
7) Keep the power cable away from the machine’s sanding area.
The sanding technique must be adapted to suit the floor type, pattern and the floor's condition.
