Read the following Safety and Operational notes before
using your Hiretech Floor Sander.
SAFETY
1. For safety it is recommended that a residual current circuit
breaker (ground fault interrupter) is used with this machine.
2. Check the operating voltage is correct and that the machine is
switched OFF (O) before connecting to the power supply.
3. Never attempt to lock the switch in the ON (I) position with
tape or by any other means.
4. Always disconnect from the power supply when changing the
abrasive, servicing the floor sander, replacing the dust bag or
leaving the machine unattended.
5. Always replace the dust bag when the dust in the bag reaches
the ‘MAX’ line or when the machine is left unattended.
6. Never dispose of or empty the contents of the dust bag into a
fire or incinerator.
7. Never reuse the paper dust bag or use a non standard bag.
8. Always wear a dust mask when using the floor sander,
handling the dust bag or cleaning the machine after use.
9. Wear ear protection when using the floor sander.
10. Ensure adequate ventilation of the work area to avoid the
formation of a combustible mixture of flying dust and air.
11. Never smoke when using or servicing the floor sander or when
handling the dust bag. Make sure that all possible sources of
ignition are removed from the work area.
12. Never expose the machine to rain or damp. Always store in a
dry place.
13. Stop the floor sander immediately if damage to the machine
or abrasive is suspected.
14. Never allow the power cable to come into contact with the
sanding pad when the floor sander is in operation. If the
power cable becomes damaged and the inner conductors
are exposed switch the power OFF (O) and remove the plug
before attempting to move the machine. The cable must be
replaced by an authorized agent or qualified electrician using
genuine Hiretech© pare parts only.
15. Keep hands, feet and loose clothing away from all moving
parts of the machine.
16. Punch down or remove all nails, screws, tacks and other
fixings from the floor before sanding to prevent contact with
the sanding pad.
17. Keep children and pets clear at all times.
18. If the machine should fail to operate refer to the fault finding
guide on page 8.
