For safety it is recommended that a residual current circuit breaker (ground fault
interrupter) is used with this machine.

Preparation and PPE

Check the operating voltage is correct and that the machine is switched OFF ('O') before
connecting to the power supply.
Always disconnect from the power supply when changing the abrasive paper, servicing the
floor sander, replacing the dust bag, or leaving the machine unattended.
Always replace the dust bag (paper type) or empty the dust bag (cloth type) when the dust
in the bag reaches the 'MAX' line or when the machine is left unattended.
Never dispose of or empty the contents of the dust bag into a fire or incinerator.
Never reuse the paper dust bag or use a nonstandard bag. Cloth bags must be in good
condition with no holes.
Always wear a dust mask when using the floor sander, handling the dust bag, or cleaning the
machine after use.
Wear ear protection when using the floor sander.
Ensure adequate ventilation of the work area to avoid the formation of a combustible
mixture of flying dust and air.
Never smoke when using or servicing the floor sander or when handling the dust bag.
Never expose the machine to rain or damp. Always store in a dry place.
Stop the floor sander immediately if damage to the machine or abrasive paper is suspected.
Floor Sander
This floor sander will sand hard and soft wood, cork
and composition floors that require rapid sanding and
levelling to a fine finish.
A powerful motor drives a finely balanced sanding
drum. This is covered in a unique drum rubber
providing a high-quality finish. Completely self-
contained with a high efficiency dust pick up, the
machine breaks down into three simple component
parts for easy transport.
With low voltage trip and overload protection this
floor sander is a high-performance machine suitable
for professional and homeowner use.
