1155))

Replace damaged or worn parts imme­diately with genuine manufacturer’s equip­ment parts to maintain safety and protect
your limited warranty.

16) Floor sanding can result in an
explosive mixture of fine dust and air.
Use a floor sanding machine only in a
well ventilated area.

17) DO NOT to leave sawdust in the
filter bag when sander is not in use,
this is a fire hazard.

This floor machine must be connect­ed to a properly grounded outlet only.
(See grounding method below.)

DANGER:

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electrical shock.

This unit 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 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

This floor sander 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.

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. 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.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

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).
