Then, save the instructions. The manufacturer is not liable for personal injury or machine damage due to incorrect operation of the machine. The machine may only be used by authorized persons that have been trained in its function.
Voltage: Make sure the voltage stated on the machine's rating plate corresponds to the voltage in the power outlet before you start the machine.
NOTE: The reading and understanding of the Owner’s Manual is imperative prior to operating this machine. If you or your operator(s) cannot read English, have this manual explained fully before attempting to operate this machine. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. This machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.
Under adverse conditions, a mixture of dust and air can be explosive. Sanding/polishing hardwood floors can create an environment that can be explosive. The safety routines below must be followed:
•
Cigarette lighters, control lamps and all other sources of ignition can cause explosions if they are active during sanding. All sources of ignition should be extinguished or, if possible, removed completely from the work area.
7
Safety Instructions (Cont.)
Bona Power Drive
®
Manual
•
In work areas with poor ventilation, an explosive environment can occur if certain flammable materials (solvents, thinners, alcohol, fuel, certain polishes, wood dust, etc) are in the atmosphere. Floor grinders can cause slightly flammable materials and vapors to burn. Read the manufacturer's label on all chemicals to be used so that you can determine the flammability.
•
Ensure that the work area always has good ventilation.
Hitting a nail during sanding can produce sparks and cause an explosion or fire. Always use a hammer to pound in any metal pieces before sanding the floor. Always keep a fire extinguisher
(ABC-class or water) available.
Use of a machine that is not complete or that is not fully mounted can result in personal injury or damage to property. Never use these machines before they are fully mounted. Ensure that all fastening devices are fixed. Make adjustments as defined in the machine specifications.
Never remove or disable the ground in the electric cable.
Consult an electrician if the ground is missing or if you suspect that your circuit is not properly grounded.
There is a risk of electric shock if the machine is used in a circuit that breaks repeatedly or is undersized. Allow an authorized electrician to control the fuse, breaker or power supply.
There is a risk of personal injury if the grinder runs over and damages the cord. Ensure that the cord does not come into contact with the sanding disc. Always lift the cord over the machine and grind in a direction away from the cord. Do not pull the machine by the cord.
Always use a ground that breaks the current immediately in the event of a fault in the electrical system or in the extension cord.
In order to prevent unintentional start of the machine, the power cord must be removed when the machine is not in use or during service.
Moving parts of the machine can cause serious personal injury and/or material damage. Keep hands, feet and loosely fitting clothing away from all moving parts of the grinder.
Because dust from sanding (red lead, certain types of wood and metal) is hazardous to health, a face mask of at least class P2 must be used.
There is a risk of damage to the eyes and/or body if protective clothing and/or protective equipment is not used during sanding. Always use protective glasses, protective clothing, ear protection and a face mask of at least class P2 during sanding.

Safety Instructions (Cont.)
To minimize dust in the environment use a vacuum cleaner intended for wood dust. The air flow on the vacuum cleaner should be at least 245m³/h. We strongly recommend a Bona Dust
Containment System for best results.
Store contained wood dust outdoors in a safe place due to the risk of fire. Never leave contained wood dust unsupervised.
Always keep a fire extinguisher (ABC-class or water) available.
Take precautionary measures to ensure that the machine is not damaged during transport.
Be careful with cords. Use the correct power cord with the correct length (see accessories list).
Never carry the machine by the cord. Never pull power cords from the machine or wall socket with strong movements. Protect the power cords against heat, oil and sharp edges. Power cords longer than 50 ft (15.24m) should not be used.
Remove the power cord from the machine when it is not in use to ensure the machine does not start unintentionally. Never carry a connected machine. Ensure that the breaker is not on once the machine is connected to a power socket. Never use the machine if the start handle does not function as it should.
Inspect the machine regularly. If you discover damaged parts, replace them at once. If necessary, contact Bona ® or staff approved by Bona.
Because this construction is in many ways unique, use of other spare parts and accessories than
Bona original spare parts can cause a risk of personal injury and/or damage to the machine.
Ensure that the machine is always in good condition. Keep the machine clean for better and safer use. Follow the instructions concerning the replacement of accessories. Inspect the power cords regularly. Repair or replace defective parts if they are damaged.
Store the machine in a dry and locked area when not in use.
Do not forget to put on the tool before you start the machine. Always check that the sanding paper is correctly adjusted before you begin sanding.
Keep unauthorized persons away from the work site. Do not allow unauthorized persons to come into contact with the machine or power cords.
Do not misuse the machine. The machine works better when it is used according to its capacity and design. Allow the motor to "rest" during periods of heavier use. The motor will cool better, thus increasing its lifespan.

Operation
Bona Power Drive
®
Manual
1) Press the button on the top of the handle, then lower the handle shaft to a comfortable working position. The handle should be held at approximately chest height and not taken down to waist height as is normal with other buffing machines. The shaft must be lowered at least 10˚ or the machine will not start.
2) Press and hold one of the buttons (A) to activate the switch lock.
3) Press the start handle. Once the start handle is pressed down the switch lock button can be released.
If the machine becomes difficult to handle, release the start handles and the machine will stop immediately.
If you have not operated a Bona Power Drive previously, ensure that no one or nothing is nearby before you start the machine.
The Bona Power Drive system is not used like a 'normal' buffing machine with the handles held at the waist and the machine moving from side to side when sanding. The counter-rotating cog construction of the Bona Power Drive equalizes the sanding force so that the machine stands more or less still during operation and is controlled by simply applying right or left pressure on the handle of the machine.
It is important to make sure that the sanding is carried out in a methodical fashion to ensure that all areas of the floor surface are sanded equally. The Bona Power Drive can be used in any direction on the floor, making it ideal for patterned floor. For the best results on a strip or plank floor, walk the machine down and back the length of the room with the handle parallel to the grain of the wood. Move the machine over 3-6" and repeat in a slow and stead manner until the floor is completely sanded.

Handling (Cont.)
Operation (cont.)
Thermal Overload Protection:
In situations where you have an insufficient power supply, improper cord length, gauge of cord, faulty connections, or difficult flooring conditions, the Power Drive can become susceptible to overheating. There is a built-in 16A overload switch (manual reset), thermal protection in the motor (automatic reset) designed to protect the motor from excess heat during these situations. If the thermal overload trips (A) , allow the machine to cool for 15-20 minutes before continuing.
To prevent this from happening, consider adjusting one of the following:
• Adjust voltage to machine using a power station
• Check electrical setup (cord, connections, etc.)
• Switch to a finer grit of abrasive
• Remove the extra weights.
Transport position
1) Remove the drive plate. 2) Remove the dust skirt.
Always remove the dust skirt, extra weights, and the drive plate or sanding discs before transportation.
Always vacuum and clean machine after use. When transporting the machine via vehicle, make sure that the machine is securely fastened through the wheels to avoid movement.
