Compliance with safety measures and warnings
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 sander 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 wood flooring sander 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 must 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
machines 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 authorised
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.
The use of this machine on a circuit which is not earthed may cause death due to
electrocution. Never disconnect or disable the earthing conductor. Consult an
electrician if the earth conductor is missing or it is suspected that the circuit is not
suitably earthed.
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.
Injury or damage may occur if the sander runs over the power supply cable and it
becomes damaged. Keep the cable away from the lower part of the machine to avoid
contact with the abrasive. Always keep the power supply cable raised above the
machine.
