How to Operate the Machine
DANGER: | Sanding/finishing wood floors |
| can create an environment that |
| can be explosive. Cigarettes, |
| cigars, pipes, lighters, pilot |
| lights and any other source of |
| ignition can create an explosion |
| when active during a sanding |
| session. All sources of ignition |
| should be extinguished or |
| removed entirely from the work |
| area. |
DANGER: | Work areas that are poorly |
| ventilated can create an explo- |
| sive environment when certain |
| combustible materials are in the |
| atmosphere, i.e., solvents, |
| thinners, alcohol, fuels, certain |
| finishes, wood dust and other |
| combustible materials. Floor |
| sanding machines can cause |
| flammable material and vapors |
| to ignite. Read the manufac- |
| turer's label on all chemicals |
| used to determine combustibil- |
| ity. Keep the work area well |
| ventilated. |
DANGER: | Sanding dust can spontaneously |
| ignite and cause an injury or |
| damage. Sanding dust should |
| be disposed of properly. Always |
| empty the sanding dust into a |
| metal container. Remove the |
| contents of the dust bag when |
| the bag is 1/3 full. |
DANGER: | Sanding dust can spontaneously |
| ignite and cause an injury or |
| damage. Remove the contents |
| of the dust bag each time you |
| finish using the machine. |
| Always dispose of the dust in a |
| metal container located outside |
| of the building. Never leave a |
| dust bag unattended with |
| sanding dust in it. Do not empty |
| the contents of the dust bag into |
| a fire. |
DANGER: | Hitting a nail while sanding can |
| cause sparks and create an |
| explosion or fire. Always |
| countersink all nails before |
| sanding floors. |
