in when not in use. Unplug from the outlet
when not in use and/or before servicing.

2) Electric shock could occur if exposed to

rain. Store indoors.

3) This is NOT a toy. Close attention is nec-

essary when used around or near children.

4) Use only as described in this manual. Use
only manufacturer's recommended attach­ments.

5) DO NOT use with damaged cord plug. If

the floor machine is not working as it should
because it has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, contact the
manufacturer or authorized service center.

6) DO NOT handle the plug or operate with

wet hands.

7) 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.

8) DO NOT unplug by pulling on cord. To

9) DO NOT put any object into motor open-

ings.

10) Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all

parts of body away from moving parts.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS & METHODS

DANGER:

14) DO NOT use around flammable or com-

bustible liquids such as gasoline or use in
areas where they may be present.

15) Replace damaged or worn parts immedi-

ately with genuine Grind ’N Go 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 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.)

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

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 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.

This machine is equipped with 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

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).

If repair or replacement of the
cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT
connect the grounding wire to
either flat blade terminal. The
insulated wire with an outer
surface that is green with or with­out yellow stripes is the grounding
wire.

WARNING:

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.

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