INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury;
Read all instructions before using this floor machine.
When using this floor machine, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
6) DO NOT pull or carry by cord, use power
cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or
pull cord around sharp edges or corners.
DO NOT run floor machine over the cord.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
7) DO NOT handle the plug or operate with
wet hands.
8) DO NOT put any object into the motor
openings.
9) DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord. To
unplug, grasp plug, not the power cord.
10) Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and
all parts of body away from moving parts.
11) DO NOT operate where oxygen or
anesthetics are used.
This floor machine must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This machine is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounded plug. The
plug must be inserted into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded
12) DO NOT use around flammable or
combustible liquids such as gasoline or use
in areas where they may be present.
13) DO NOT use an extension cord unless
absolutely necessary. If an extension cord is
used, then wire size must be #14 gauge or
thicker and should not exceed 50 feet in
length. Use only a 3 wire grounded extension cord to ensure grounding protection.
14) Replace damaged or worn parts immediately with genuine original equipment
parts to maintain safety and protect your
limited warranty.
15) Floor sanding can result in an explosive
mixture of fine dust and air. Use a floor
sanding machine only in a well ventilated
area.
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug
is necessary, DO NOT connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The
wire with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes
is the grounding wire.
GROUNDING
METHODS
DANGER:
Improper use of the
grounding plug can
result in a risk of
electrical shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
This floor machine is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit, and has a grounding plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in (Fig A).
A temporary adaptor that looks like the
adaptor illustrated in (Fig B & C) may be
used to connect the plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in (Fig A) if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.
ARNING:
W
DO NOT modify the plug provided with the machine. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
The temporary adaptor should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet (Fig A) can
be installed by a qualified electrician. The
green color rigid ear, lug, or like extending
from the adaptor must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adaptor is used, it must be held in place by
the metal screw (Fig C).
