Under adverse conditions, a mixture of dust and air can be explosive. Sanding of
wooden floors can create an environment that can be explosive. The safety routines
below must be followed.
Cigarette lighters, control lamps and all other sources of ignition can cause explosions if they are active
during sanding. All sources of ignition should be extinguished or if possible removed completely from the
work area.
In work areas with poor ventilation, an explosive environment can occur if certain flammable materials,
that is to say solvents, thinners, alcohol, fuel, certain polishes, wood dust and other flammable materials
are in the atmosphere. Floor grinders can cause slightly flammable materials and vapours to burn. Read
the manufacturer’s label on all chemicals to be used so that you can determine the flammability. Ensure
that the work area always has good ventilation.
Dispose of the contents in the dust bag when the bag is one-third full. After you have finished sanding,
the dust bag must be empties and the contents must be stored in a safe place outdoors due to fire hazard.
Never leave a dust bag containing sanding dust unattended. Never empty the contents in an open fire.
Hitting a nail during sanding can produce sparks and cause explosion or fire. Always use a hammer to
pound in any metal pieces before sanding the floor. Always keep a fire extinguisher (ABC-class or water)
available.
Use of a machine that is not complete or that is not fully mounted can result in personal injury or damage
to property. Never use these machines before they are fully mounted. Ensure that all fastening devices
are fixed. Make adjustment as per the machine specifications.
NOTE! Never remove or disable the earth lead in the power cable. Consult an electrician if the
earth lead is missing or if you suspect that your circuit is not properly earthed.
There is a risk of electric shock if the machine is used in a circuit that breaks repeatedly or is under
dimensioned. Allow an authorised electrician to control the fuse, breaker or the power supply.
The operator or other persons present can be injured if the power to the machine is connected while
maintenance is performed. Always remove the power cable to the machine from the power point.
There is a risk of personal injury if the grinder runs over and damages the power cable. Ensure that the
power cable does not come into contact with the sanding disc. Always lift the power cable over the
machine and grind in a direction away from the power cable.
Always use an earth fault breaker that breaks the current immediately in the event of a fault in the
electrical system or in the extension power cable.
In order to prevent unintentional start of the machine, the power cable must be removed when the
machine is not used and during service.
Use of the machine with a damaged power cable can cause electric shock. Do not pull the machine by
the power cable.
Movable parts of the machine can cause serious personal injury and/or material damage. Keep hands,
feet and loosely fitting clothing away from all movable parts of the grinder.
If a edge floor grinder is used without all protection covers in place it may lead to personal injury or
material damage.
