Safety Instructions (Cont.) Bona Power Drive Manual ® In work areas with poor ventilation, an explosive environment can occur if certain flammable • materials (solvents, thinners, alcohol, fuel, certain polishes, wood dust, etc) are in the atmosphere. Floor grinders can cause slightly flammable materials and vapors to burn. Read the manufacturer's label on all chemicals to be used so that you can determine the flammability.

Safety Instructions (Cont.) To minimize dust in the environment use a vacuum cleaner intended for wood dust. The air flow on the vacuum cleaner should be at least 245m³/h. We strongly recommend a Bona Dust Containment System for best results.
Normal use The Bona Power Drive is only intended for indoor use at temperatures between 10˚C (50˚F) and 35˚C (95˚F) and in good lighting. When you work with the machine, be observant of the surroundings and particularly persons nearby. Do not use the machine around children.
Handling The Bona Power Drive can be used for many different types of floor preparation/sanding depending on the type of drive plate mounted to the machine. As a standard, one drive plate is included on delivery which can be used to drive nylon pads, screens and abrasives, etc.
To install the Bona Power Drive drive plate, place the drive To remove the Bona Power Drive drive plate, turn the paddle lever plate into position and turn it to engage the interlock (C). Once so it is in the unlocked position (E).
Attach the light to the top of the motor and secure with wing nut. Sanding disc placement Before tipping the machine upright, it’s best practice to position the Power Drive plate with two sanding discs on the bottom, in line with the wheels, to minimize pivoting on a single sanding disc.
The Bona Power Drive system is not used like a 'normal' buffing machine with the handles held at the waist and the machine moving from side to side when sanding. The counter-rotating cog construction of the Bona Power Drive equalizes the sanding force so that the machine stands more or less still during operation and is controlled by simply applying right or left pressure on the handle of the machine.
In situations where you have an insufficient power supply, improper cord length, gauge of cord, faulty connections, or difficult flooring conditions, the Power Drive can become susceptible to overheating. There is a built-in 16A overload switch (manual reset), thermal protection in the motor (automatic reset) designed to protect the motor from excess heat during these situations. If the thermal overload trips (A), allow the machine to cool for 15-20 minutes before continuing.
The sanding process The Bona Power Drive system is designed to be used in a variety of different sanding situations. However, it is not designed to replace a traditional belt sanding machine and where a floor is uneven due to cupping or similar issues it is recommended that an initial sanding using a belt sander with a 36/40 grit belt is made.
Only Bona's original parts may be used because the machine is considered unique, otherwise safety functions can become impaired. When you contact Bona or staff approved by Bona in the event of a fault or to order spare parts, always specify the type and serial number of your machine.
