DANGER:  
Sanding/finishing wood floors can create an environment that can be explosive. The  
following safety procedures must be adhered to:  
Cigarette lighters, pilot lights and any other source of ignition can create an explosion  
when active during a sanding session. All sources of ignition should be extinguished or  
removed entirely if possible from the work area.  
Work areas that are poorly ventilated can create an explosive environment when certain  
combustible materials are in the atmosphere, i.e., solvents, thinners, alcohol, fuels,  
certain finishes, wood dust and other combustible materials. Floor sanding machines  
can cause flammable material and vapors to burn. Read the manufacturer's label on all  
chemicals used to determine combustibility. Keep the work area well ventilated.  
Spontaneous combustion or an explosion can occur when working with sanding dust.  
The sanding dust can ignite and cause injury or damage. Sanding dust should be  
disposed of properly. Always empty the sanding dust into a metal container that is  
located outside of any building(s).  
Remove the contents of the dust bag when the bag is 1/3 full. Remove the contents of  
the dust bag each time you finish using the machine. Never leave a dust bag unattended  
with sanding dust in it.  
Do not empty the contents of the dust bag into a fire.  
Hitting a nail while sanding can cause sparks and create an explosion or fire. Always  
use a hammer and punch to countersink all nails before sanding floors.  
DANGER:  
Operating a machine that is not completely or fully assembled could result in injury or  
property damage. Do not operate this machine until it is completely assembled. Keep  
all fasteners tight. Keep adjustments according to machine specifications.

How to Operate the Machine  
To operate the machine follow this procedure:  
DANGER:  
Sanding/finishing wood floors  
can create an environment  
that can be explosive. Ciga-  
rette lighters, pilot lights and  
any other source of ignition  
can create an explosion when  
active during a sanding ses-  
sion. All sources of ignition  
should be extinguished or  
removed entirely if possible  
from the work area.  
1. Before sanding, decide on best approach for  
sanding desired area. If the floor is uneven, it  
may be necessary to sand diagonally to the  
direction that the floor is laid. This will help  
"pull" or stretch low and high spots in the floor  
over a greater area, producing a flatter surface.  
When sanding the area, work in a way so that  
you are moving away from where the cord set  
enters the room. This will help to avoid entangle-  
ment with the cord set and eliminate the need to  
move the cord set out of the way so frequently.  
DANGER:  
Work areas that are poorly  
ventilated can create an  
explosive environment when  
certain combustible materials  
are in the atmosphere, i.e.,  
solvents, thinners, alcohol,  
fuels, certain finishes, wood  
dust and other combustible  
materials. Floor sanding  
machines can cause flam-  
mable material and vapors to  
ignite. Read the manufac-  
turer's label on all chemicals  
used to determine combustibil-  
ity. Keep the work area well  
ventilated.  
Work the area in a way that avoids interruption or  
termination points ( an end of pass.) Make long  
continuous passes.  
2. Swing cable arm to side of machine opposite the  
direction you intend to work. Rotate elbow on  
dust pipe until dust bag rest on motor. This will  
maintain balance and sanding pressure as the  
dust bag fills. The machine should be operated  
with the dust bag in this position whenever  
possible.  
3. Install the operating belt as follows:  
a. Position the operating belt around waist.  
b. Cross the straps at the waist. See figure #9.  
c. Slide the belt loop end over the handle on the  
control lever side. Adjust the length as  
needed.  
DANGER:  
Sanding dust can spontane-  
ously ignite and cause an  
injury or damage. Sanding  
dust should be disposed of  
properly. Always empty the  
sanding dust into a metal  
container. Remove the con-  
tents of the dust bag when the  
bag is 1/3 full.  
d. Wrap the remaining strap around the oppo-  
site side of the handle and hold it in place  
with your hand.  
WARNING: Serious operator injury could  
occur if the operator has tied or  
strapped the loose end of the  
operator's belt strap to the ma-  
chine. Alwayswrapthestrapso  
that you can let go and get away  
quickly in case of bag fire or  
explosion.  
DANGER:  
Sanding dust can spontane-  
ously ignite and cause an  
injury or damage. Remove the  
contents of the dust bag each  
time you finish using the  
machine. Always dispose of  
the dust in a metal container  
located outside of the building.  
Never leave a dust bag unat-  
tended with sanding dust in it.  
Do not empty the contents of  
the dust bag into a fire.  
4. Turn the control switch to the "On" position.  
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the floor,  
make sure the machine is in  
motion when the contact wheel  
is engaged with the floor.  
DANGER:  
Hitting a nail while sanding  
can cause sparks and create  
an explosion or fire. Always  
use a hammer and punch to  
countersink all nails before  
sandingfloors.  
5. Feather-cut in by easing the contact wheel down  
onto the surface with the control lever while the  
sander is in motion.  
Page 10

6. When contact wheel is fully engaged with the  
surface, gradually adjust your pace for adequate  
finish removal. Keep sander in motion while the  
contact wheel is engaged with the surface or  
dwell marks will occur.  
7. Move the machine in the direction of the grain in  
the wood whenever it is possible. Sand the  
surface at a constant pace.  
8. Gradually feather-cut out at the termination point  
by easing the contact wheel up with the control  
lever.  
9. Repeat technique described in steps 5, 6, 7, and  
8 and sand back down pass just made. When  
completed, begin a new pass by overlapping  
previous pass half the width of the abrasive.  
Stagger termination points to prevent a distinct  
ridge and a better blend when edging.  
Figure9  
10.Empty contents of the dust bag into a metal  
container located outside the building. Dust bag  
should be emptied whenever full, as indicated on

Sanding Cuts and Sandpaper  
InitialCut  
Final Cuts  
The purpose of the initial cut is to remove old finish  
and gross imperfections on the floor surface. The  
sanding equipment should be adjusted to heavy  
sanding pressure setting and a coarse abrasive  
belt should be used. If the surface is severely  
damaged by deep scratches, preexisting dwell  
marks, uneven planks, etc., it may be necessary  
to sand across or diagonally to the grain to restore  
evenness to the surface. If these conditions are  
not present, the initial cut should be done in the  
direction of the grain.  
The purpose of a finishing cut is to remove the  
scratches produced during the initial cut. Use a  
fine (60 - 80 grit) grain abrasive and a reduced  
sanding pressure setting.  
If the surface remains rough after a finishing cut, it  
may be necessary to use an even finer grain of  
abrasive (80 - 100 grit). Care should be taken in  
selecting the grit size of the abrasive. A very fine  
grain will close the pores on a wood floor making  
admission of a stain difficult.  
If glazing, loading, or burning takes place immedi-  
ately into an initial cut, select a coarser abrasive.  
If this should occur during an initial cut, the  
abrasive has dulled and must be replaced.  
If glazing or burning should occur immediately into  
a finishing cut, reduce the sanding pressure. If it  
should occur during a finishing cut, the abrasive  
has dulled and must be replaced.

Chatter Wave Prevention  
American Sanders are designed and manufactured to the  
most rigid tolerances. However, after a finishing cut it is  
possible to see “chatter” or “waves”.  
The best guarantee to remove the chatter is to finish the floor  
with a rotating horizontal sander, such as American Sanders  
Technology’s Sander 16.  
To minimize chatter when using a belt or drum sander the  
following steps should be taken:  
1. DRUM MARKS...are caused by the operator lowering the  
drum to the floor without forward traverse. These marks  
should be removed by cutting at a 45 degree angle to the  
mark. Cutting at the mark while maintaining the same  
path will only increase the mark depth and width.  
See figure #10.  
2. UNEVEN WALKING SPACE...can leave lengthy “waves”.  
The machine cuts more material during the slower pace.  
Pay particular attention to a steady, even pace.  
3. EXCESSIVE LIGHT CUTS...may reveal high spots on the  
paper/contact wheel and cause chatter. Take a heavier  
cut and increase the pace.  
Figure10  
4. DEBRIS...lodged between the paper and the drum will  
leave chatter. On a belt sander, debris may be adhered  
to the drum. Insure the drum is clean and free of debris  
before placing the paper on.  
5. ABRASIVE QUALITY...may vary. Belt seams can be  
thicker on low quality paper and cause chatter. Use only  
American Sanders Technology specified sandpaper.  
Store abrasive according to manufacturers recommen-  
dation.  
PROPER CARE OF YOURMACHINECAN MINIMIZE  
CHATTERANDWAVES.  
5. BEARINGS...in the motor, drum, or fan system  
may become worn and induce vibration which  
could cause “chatter”.  
1. V-BELTS...can cause vibration and chatter if they are of  
low quality. Use only belts specified by American  
Sanders Technology.  
6. PULLEYS...that are damaged or severly worn can  
induce vibration and cause “chatter”. Contact your  
American Sanders Technology dealer for assis-  
tance.  
2. TRUCK AND CASTER WHEELS...with flat spots, out-of-  
roundness, or debris adhered to their surface can cause  
“waves” or a “chatter effect”. Always clean and inspect  
all wheels before starting to sand, and before the finish  
cut. Replace or true the wheels if found to be out-of-  
round. Never allow the sander to stand on hard  
surfaces for lengthy periods of time.  
7. SANDPAPER TENSION...should always be  
released when the machine is shut off for 10  
minutes or longer to avoid compression of the  
drum.  
3. DUST PICK-UP SHOES...may need adjusted differently  
for different materials that are to be sanded. An improp-  
erly adjusted shoe will leave trailing debris that will be  
run over by the wheels and cause “random waves”.
