DANGER:
Failure to read the Operator's Manual before operating or servicing this sanding equipment
could result in injury to the operator or to bystanders and could cause damage to the
equipment. Read and observe all safety statements found in this manual and on the
sanding equipment. Make sure all labels, decals, warnings, cautions and instructions are
fastened to the equipment. Replace any that are damaged or missing. You must have
training in the operation of this equipment before using it. If the operator is unable to
read this manual, have it explained fully before they attempt to use this equip-
ment.
DANGER:
Finishing wood floors can create an environment that can be explosive. The following safety
procedures must be adhered to:
•
Cigarette 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 if possible from the work area.
•
Work areas that are poorly ventilated can create an explosive environment when certain
combustible materials are in the atmosphere, i.e., solvents, thinners, alcohol, fuels,
certain finishes, wood dust and other combustible materials. The machinery can cause
flammable material and vapors to burn. Read the manufacturer's label on all chemicals
used to determine combustibility.
•
An accumulation of dust can self-ignite and cause injury or damage and should be
disposed of properly. Always empty the dust into a metal container that is located
outside of any building(s).
•
Do not empty the contents of the dust bag into a fire.
•
In the event of a bag fire, injury can occur to the operator if the operator is tied or strapped
to equipment.
