Safety Regulation when using Bona Belt
When using electrical machines basic safety regulations
should always be followed in order to reduce the risk of fire,
electrical accidents and personal injury. Therefore, read all of
the instructions before the machine is used. Then save the
instructions!
1) For safer use
Keep the work area clean. A messy workplace increases the
risk of accidents.
2) Pay attention to the surroundings
Do not allow the machine to come into contact with water or
moisture. Do not use the machine near flammable fluids or gases.
3) Protect against electrical accidents.
Always use the earth fault breaker! Avoid contact with
unearthed objects or surfaces, such as wires, pipes, electric
ovens, refrigerators, etc.
4) Belt/safety belt
Use a belt/safety belt to maintain better control over the machine

When the machine is not in use it should be stored in a dry area,
preferably in a locked area.
8) Do not overstrain the machine
The machine works best when it is used according to its
capacity and design. Allow the motor to “rest” during periods of
heavier use. The motor will cool better, thus increasing its lifespan.
Use fuses with the correct ampere number in relation to the motor.

cable length. (See the accessories list). Never carry the machine
by holding the power cable. Do not pull the power cable out
of the machine or the power socket. Protect the power cables
against heat, oil and sharp edges. Keep the power cable away
from the machine’s grinding area.
