Poorly ventilated work areas may create an explosive environment when some
combustible materials are present in the atmosphere, such as solvents, thinners,
alcohol, fuel, some paints, wood dust or other combustible materials. Floor sanders can
cause the ignition of materials and combustible fumes. Read the manufacturer's
instructions for each chemical product used and establish its combustibility. Always
keep the work area well-ventilated.
HAZARD
Striking any nails when sanding could cause an explosion or fire. Ensure nails are well
sunk before sanding surfaces.

from the power supply may cause death due to electrocution. Disconnect the power
supply before carrying out any maintenance and/or repair work.
HAZARD
The use of this machine on a circuit which is not earthed may cause death due to
electrocution. Never disconnect or disable the earthing conductor. Consult an
electrician if the earth conductor is missing or it is suspected that the circuit is not
suitably earthed.
