I Warned about the Electrical Dangers Wood floor Sanders Pose . Now a new Danger Discovered

 Wood Floor Sanders I have always been worried about the way they are tied into Breaker Boxes  by workers but I recently learned of a new hazard they pose when a fire Broke out at Sunny Jim's Tavern and Restaurant on Camp Horne Road in Emsworth. I found out how it happened after talking to the owner when I went to bid some camera work.

They where getting the floors sanded down and refinished  when workers turned off the machine for the night and closed up and within a few hours the machine caught fire  But How? 

Well it ends up the bag which holds all the floor contents  Self Combusted  because all the varnish and wood shavings .etc. where not emptied from the bag .

Now many machines have a warning label to empty after use some do not and unless you know of this possible danger its like Russian roulette. 

Because these machines can be rented professionals are not always operating them who know you do not leave bug full of floor products. 

Its essential all machines and bags be marked especially Rentals . But time will tell. 

Unfortunately this is not first time sunny has had a fire having one years earlier which broke out in some refrigeration equipment but each time he has bounced back and still serves up a great meal,.
