GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions prior to use.
Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “floor machine” in the warnings refers to your corded floor machine.
1. WORK AREA SAFETY
a. Keep work area clean and well lit during operation.
b. Do not operate floor machine in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a floor machine to avoid potential
injury.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a. Floor machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with grounded floor machines. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators.
c. Do not expose floor machines to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the floor machine
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the floor
machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. Never operate this unit with a damaged
cord.
e. When operating a floor machine outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a floor machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a floor
machine. Do not use a floor machine while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. Lack of attention while operating a floor machine may result in
serious personal injury.
