Additional Safety Instructions For The Sander
1. Be aware of belt or disc rotation direction
when sanding.
2. Keep fingertips away from moving parts.
3. Never use excessive force when sanding.
Doing so greatly increases the chance of
personal injury, mechanical damage, or
damage to your workpiece.
4. Always feed your work AGAINST the
direction of rotation.
5. DO NOT operate the sander if the disc or
belt are damaged or badly worn. Portions
of sandpaper could be ejected from the
sander.
6. Even if you have a reliable method of dust
collection, use a dust mask or respirator
when sanding. Use eye and hearing protection as well.
7. DO NOT sand material when you doubt its
stability or integrity. Inspect all materials
carefully for foreign objects like nails and
staples.
8. When disc sanding, feed material into the
portion of the disc spinning DOWN toward
the table.
9. Habits – good and bad – are hard to break.
Develop good habits in your shop and
safety will become second-nature to you.
Operating this equipment has the potential
to propel debris into the air which can
cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment.
Everyday glasses or reading glasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
Like all power tools, there is danger associated with the Model G1183/1276
Combination Sander. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this tool with
respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor
work results.

110/220V Operation
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
The 1 HP motor will draw 12 amps at 110V and 6
amps at 220V. A 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker
should be used when fusing this combination
sander. Circuits rated any higher are not adequate to protect the motor from power surges. If
you operate this sander on any circuit that is
already close to capacity, it might trip the breaker
or blow the fuse. However, if an unusual load
does not exist, and the circuit protection is still
activated, you should have the circuit inspected
by a qualified electrician.
Fusing
Grounding
This equipment must be grounded. Verify
that any existing electrical outlet and circuit
you intend to plug into is actually grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a
separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire
from the outlet to a known ground. Under
no circumstances should the grounding pin
from any three-pronged plug be removed.
Serious injury may occur.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance to disperse electric current. This tool is equipped with a power cord hav-
ing an equipment-grounding conductor. See
Figure 1. The outlet must be properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
The Model G1183/1276 is prewired for 110V, sin-
gle phase operation. Figure 1 depicts the typical
grounded receptacle which should be used. This
machine can be rewired to operate at 220V, however a different plug will need to be installed.
Figure 2 shows a typical 220V plug. A wiring dia-
gram is provided at the back of the manual to
show the two wiring configurations.

with the Model G1183/1276, make sure the cord
is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to
the chart in the standard safety instructions to
determine the minimum gauge for the extension
cord. The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or
replace extension cords when they become worn
or damaged.

If anything is missing, call or write to the appropriate service department listed in the General
Information section. If anything is damaged,
please follow the procedures described to the left.
NOTICE
Please keep all packaging materials until
you are satisfied that the machine is in
good condition. Should you need to file a
freight claim, the carrier’s agent will require
inspection of those materials. Settling a
claim can be difficult if packaging is not
available.
NOTICE
Ensure that the Model G1183/G1276 is
located on a flat, level surface. This will
maximize the stability of the machine and
ensure that adjustments are accurate. For
conditions where permanent mounting is
possible, we recommend bolting the
Combination Sander to your bench top or
work table. This type of mounting will minimize vibration and provide a more stable
work environment.
The G1183/1276 is a fairly heavy machine
(155 lbs.). DO NOT over-exert yourself while
unpacking or moving your machine – get
assistance. In the event that your Combination
Sander must be moved up or down a flight of
stairs, be sure that the stairs are capable of
supporting the combined weight of people and
the machine. Serious personal injury may
occur.
When you are completely satisfied with the condition of your shipment, you should inventory its

Clean Up
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect it from corrosion during shipment.
Remove this protective coating with a solvent
cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. Avoid chlorine-based solvents as they may damage painted
surfaces should they come in contact. Always follow the usage instructions on the product you
choose for clean up.
Many of the solvents commonly used to
clean machinery can be highly flammable,
and toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always
work in well-ventilated areas far from
potential ignition sources when dealing
with solvents. Use care when disposing of
waste rags and towels to be sure they do
not create fire or environmental hazards.
Keep children and animals safely away
when cleaning and assembling this
machine.
Do not use gasoline or other petroleumbased solvents to remove this protective
coating. These products generally have low
flash points which makes them extremely
flammable. A risk of explosion and burning
exists if these products are used. Serious
personal injury may occur.
Site Considerations
Make your shop “child safe”. Ensure that
your workplace is inaccessible to youngsters by closing and locking all entrances
when you are away. Never allow visitors in
your shop when assembling, adjusting or
operating equipment.
All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge
(called “flashing”) on them after they are
formed. This is generally removed at the
factory. Sometimes a bit of flashing might
escape inspection, and the sharp edge may
cause cuts or lacerations when handled.
Please examine the edges of all die-cut
metal parts and file or sand the edge to
remove the flashing before handling.
BENCH LOAD
The G1183/1276 Combination Sander represents a moderately large weight load in a small
footprint. Most commercial or home shop benches should be sufficient to carry the weight of the
machine. If you question the strength of your
workbench, you can opt to reinforce it, or consider placing the sander on a freestanding bench
such as Shop Fox®Deluxe Tool Table.
WORKING CLEARANCES
Working clearances can be thought of as the distances between machines and obstacles that
allow safe operation of every machine without
limitation. Consider existing and anticipated
machine needs, size of material to be processed
through each machine, and space for auxiliary
stands and/or work tables. Also consider the relative position of each machine to one another for
efficient material handling. Be sure to allow yourself sufficient room to safely run your machines in
any foreseeable operation.
LIGHTING AND OUTLETS
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate
shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits
should be dedicated or large enough to handle
combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be
located near each machine so power or extension cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas.
Be sure to observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
