3. Safety measures

3.1 Intended use

The ESM 1500 single disc sanding machine is exclusively intended for preparing subfloors, such as grinding and roug-
hening work, as well as for surface treatment, such as sanding (see Areas of application).

3.2 Electrical connection

Before use it must be ensured that the electrical connection values comply with the details on the type
plate.
ALWAYS remove the mains plug before conducting any maintenance work on the machine or changing
accessories!
The power cable must not be damaged by running over it with the machine, nor should it be crushed,
pulled, abraded, etc.
The power cable and the connecting cables of auxiliary equipment must be checked regularly for signs of
damage, bare spots, signs of burning, etc. Machines should not be used if their power cables are not in a
flawless condition. When replacing connecting cables, plugs, connectors, fuses or sockets the technical spe-
cifications prescribed by the manufacturer must be adhered to and original spare parts used. The couplings
used for connecting or extension cables must be splash-proof.

3.3 Regulations

Never transport the machine with the guide bar in a vertical position.
When using hoisting equipment to transport the machine the relevant user instructions and safety regulati-
ons, particularly those with regard to load-carrying capacity, are to be considered.
Guide the machine carefully over thresholds and flooring strips - damage to the edges and brushes or pads
can develop as a result. The machine is only intended for use on flat surfaces with a maximum inclination
of 2%.
When the machine has come to a standstill it should be switched off immediately to prevent damaging the
floor.

3.4 Accident prevention

Never switch on the machine when it is fully upright; the guide bar must be in a tilted working position.
Always work in a direction away from the power socket in order to avoid running over the cable. The wor-
king area is located at the rear of the machine.
In an emergency: REMOVE THE MAINS PLUG !
