alcohol, fuel, some paints, wood dust or other combustible materials. Floor sanding
machines may cause various materials and fumes to ignite. Read the manufacturer's
instructions for each chemical product used and establish its combustibility. Always
keep the work area well-ventilated.

Striking nails when sanding may generate an explosion or fire. Always ensure all nails
are sunk before sanding surfaces.
