12. Do not force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was designed.

13. Use correct tool. Do not force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

14. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, keep long hair tied up,

etc.

15. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check that

all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed.

16. Use proper extension cord. When using an extension cord, make sure it is less than 100' in length

and that it is in good condition. Use extension cords that are rated Hard Service (grade S) or better, and that have a conductor size of 16 A.W.G. A drop in line voltage, loss of power and overheating can result when using an undersized cord. The extension cord should have a ground wire and ground plug pin, as well.

17. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

18. Do not leave machine unattended. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the area.

19. Perform machine maintenance and care. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions

in the manual.

20. Keep machine away from open flame. Operating machines near pilot lights and/or open flames cre-

ates a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause an explosion. Do not operate the machine in high-risk areas, including but not limited to, those mentioned above.

21. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the

machine! Then contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be performed.

22. 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 creates the potential for flying debris to 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).

Additional Safety Instructions For Sanders

1. Be aware of belt or disc rotation when sanding. Always brace workpiece against the rotation of the

sanding belt. Always sand on the side of the disc that is rotating downward, towards the work table.

2. Keep fingertips away from the moving belt or disc.

3. Never use excessive force when sanding. Doing this greatly increases the chances of personal injury

and motor overload.

4. Always feed the work against the direction of rotation.

5. Even if you have a reliable method of dust collection, use a dust mask or respirator when sanding,

as well as eye and ear protection.

6. If there is any doubt as to the stability or integrity of the material to be sanded, do not sand it.

7. Do not operate sander with a damaged or badly worn disc or belt.

8. Habits — good or bad — are hard to break. Develop good habits and safety will become second

nature to you.

9. Sanding dust from some woods may be toxic or cause an allergic reaction. Be sure to wear an

appropriate respirator when working around saw dust. Make sure there is adequate ventilation or a constant source of fresh air. The saw dust from some species of wood can be toxic to some people. Be sure to research the dangers of the specific species of wood you are working with.

Read the manual before assembly and operation. Become familiar with the machine and its operation before beginning any work. Serious personal injury may result if safety or operational information is not understood or followed.

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 follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

110V Operation

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

When it is necessary to use an extension cord, use the following guidelines:

•Use cords rated for Hard Service (Grade S)

•Never exceed a length of 100 feet

•Use cords with 14 ga. wire or bigger (12 ga., 10 ga., etc.)

•Ensure cord has a ground wire and pin

•Do not use cords in need of repair

Extension Cords

Grounding

This machine must be grounded! See Figure 1A. The electrical cord supplied with the W1676 comes with a grounding pin. Do not remove it. If your outlet does not accommodate a ground pin, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or have an appropriate adapter installed. Please note: when using an adapter, the adapter must be grounded.

An adapter with a grounding wire does not guarantee machine will be grounded. Ground source must be verified.

The Shop Fox

W1676 is prewired for 110 volts. The motor supplied with your new machine is rated at 1 H.P. and will draw approximately 14 amps. When choosing an outlet for this machine, consider using one with a 15 amp circuit breaker or fuse. Keep in mind that a circuit being used by other machines or tools at the same time will add to the electrical load being applied to the circuit. Add up the load ratings of all machines on the circuit. If this number exceeds the rating of the circuit breaker or fuse, use a different circuit.

Figure 1A. Typical 110V 3-prong plug and outlet.

Figure 1. Never remove grounding pin.

This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. Under no circumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.

Figure 2. NEMA-style 6-15 plug and outlet.

NOTICE

Never replace the circuit breaker with one

rated at a higher amperage or damage to the circuit may occur.

220V Operation

We do not recommend using an extension cord for 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the placement of your machinery and installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords. If you must use an extension cord, make sure it is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. The extension cord must always contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged.

Extension Cords

Grounding

This machine must be grounded! See Figure 2. The electrical cord supplied with the W1676 does not come with a 220 volt plug. Use a plug with a ground pin. If your outlet does not accommodate a ground pin, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or have an appropriate adapter installed and grounded properly. An adapter with a grounding wire does not guarantee machine will be grounded. Ground source must be verified.

The Shop Fox

W1676 can also be operated at 220 volts. To do this, consult with the wiring diagram in the back of this manual for rewiring instructions. Also, you will need a NEMA-style 615 plug and outlet.

The motor supplied with your new machine is rated at 1 H.P. and will draw approximately 7 amps during 220 volt operation. When choosing an outlet for this machine, consider using one with a 15 amp circuit breaker or fuse. Keep in mind that a circuit being used by other machines or tools at the same time will add to the total load being applied to the circuit. Add up the load ratings of all machines on the circuit. If this number exceeds the rating of the circuit breaker or fuse, use a different circuit.

Clean Up

Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents. They have low flash points which make them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used. Serious personal injury may occur if this warning is ignored.

Do not smoke while using solvents. A risk of explosion or fire exists and may result in serious personal injury.

The exposed, unpainted surfaces of the machine have been coated with an oil to prevent rust during shipment. This oil needs to be removed before operation. To remove the oil, we recommend using a solvent based degreaser. Avoid using any chlorine based solutions because they will damage the painted surfaces. Always follow the instructions of the product being used.

Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be 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.

Always wear a dust mask when operating the W1676. Using this machine produces sawdust which may cause allergic reactions or respiratory problems.

Page 19

-16-

Working Table

The working table has two mounting locations: next to the sanding disc and next to the vertically positioned belt sander. We recommend initially mounting the working table next to the disc. If you want to mount it next to the vertically positioned belt sander, skip to the “Vertical Positioning” instructions in the

Adjustment section.

To install the working table next to the disc:

1. Loosen the (2)

⁄16"-18 x 3⁄8" setscrews located in the base, directly beneath the pulley cover.

2. Insert the support bar into the hole in the

base that is adjacent to the setscrew holes. Make sure that the flat side of the support bar is facing the setscrews.

3. Securely tighten the setscrews as shown in Figure 15.

4. Slide the working table assembly onto the

end of the support bar and securely tighten the setscrews located in the table support bracket as shown in Figure 16. Be sure to leave no more than a

⁄16" gap between the

disc and the edge of the working table.

Quick Release

The quick release lever is used to loosen the tension on the sanding belt. To install the quick release lever:

1. Thread a

⁄8"-16 hex nut on each end of the

quick release levers.

2. Thread the ends of the levers into the threaded holes in the short lever and the rocker arm.

3. Finally, position the levers as shown in Figure 17 and tighten down the hex nuts.

ADJUSTMENTS

General

The Model W1676 is capable of a wide variety of sanding operations. The sanding belt can be positioned in a variety of angles ranging from 090° and can accommodate the working table in the vertical position. The sanding disc can accommodate the working table at a variety of angles ranging from 0-45°. In all, the Model W1676 will be a welcome addition to the home or commercial workshop. The following section will go through the above adjustment steps.

Wear safety glasses during the entire adjustments process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance, assembly or adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Page 21

-18-

Belt Tracking/Tension

Belt tension and tracking are crucial to the performance of the belt sander. Too much tension will cause undue stress on the bearings and other parts. Too little tension will cause the sanding belt to not track properly and fall off the sanding belt frame. It is better to have the least amount of tension required to make the belt track properly while under load.

To adjust the tracking:

1. Unplug the combination sander!

2. Unlock the quick release lever on the side of

the sanding unit by shifting it to the left.

3. Slide a 6" x 48" sanding belt onto the belt sanding frame as shown in Figure 18.

4. Shift the quick release lever to the right to tension the sanding belt.

5. To check the tracking, plug in and quickly turn the sander on and off, and watch the path of the belt. If it moves to either side, the tracking needs to be adjusted.

6. Turn the tracking knob

⁄4 turn clockwise to adjust the sanding belt towards the tracking knob, and turn counter-clockwise to adjust the sanding belt away from the tracking knob as shown in Figure 19.

7. Quickly turn the machine on and off again to

see if the tracking has improved. If not, repeat the above steps.

8. If the tracking is fairly well maintained,

leave the machine running and fine tune the sanding belt by further adjusting the tracking knob.

Figure 18. Installing the sanding belt.

Figure 19. Knob for adjusting tracking.

NOTICE

It is best to adjust the tracking of the sanding belt before making any tension adjustments. If you have trouble maintaining proper tracking after several attempts, you may need to adjust the belt tension. Improper tension can often times be the cause of tracking problems.

Always install belt according to the arrow direction on the inside of the belt. Belts installed incorrectly can fall apart, causing serious personal injury.

Page 22

-19-

Belt Tracking/Tension

Continued

Gauging proper belt tension is very subjective. The easiest way to check the tension is to pluck the edge of the sanding belt. If it sounds like a drum, the tension is probably too tight.

To adjust the tension:

1. With the belt installed and the quick release

lever engaged, loosen the hex bolt located at the pivoting point of the rocker arm as shown in Figure 20. Do not remove the bolt.

2. Using an adjustable wrench as shown in Figure 21, rotate the large eccentric bolt

head to either increase or decrease the belt tension.

3. When the proper tension is achieved, tighten the hex bolt that was loosened in Step 1, while maintaining the position of the eccentric bolt with a wrench.

4. Run the sander again to check and adjust the tracking.

5. Using a scrap piece of wood, aggressively sand on the belt to see if proper tracking is maintained. If not, repeat the tracking adjustment steps on the previous page.

Once the belt tension and tracking are properly set, install the idler guard as shown in Figure

22. Tighten the lock down knobs on each side.

Vertical Positioning

The belt sander arm can be moved to a vertical arrangement.

1. Remove the belt dust port.

2. Loosen the two nuts located on the bracket behind the pulley cover as shown in Figure

23. We recommend using a 12mm open-end

wrench for clearance purposes.

3. When the nuts are loose, rotate the sanding belt frame to the vertical position as shown in Figure 24.

4. Tighten down the nuts that were loosened in Step 2.

The working table can also be repositioned next to the vertical surface of the sanding belt. Remove the working table assembly and support bar from the sander base, and reposition it in the mounting hole behind the motor as shown in

Figure 25.

Changing Abrasive Disc

To replace abrasive sanding disc:

1. Remove the working table assembly.

2. Remove the knob holding the pulley cover

door shut and open the door as shown in

Figure 26.

3. Remove the worn sanding disc and the new

sanding disc. Be sure to center the new sanding disc over the cast iron disc before pressing it down as shown in Figure 27.

4. Another option allows you to leave the pul-

ley cover and working table attached. Peel back half of the abrasive disc backing and slip the covered portion behind the closed pulley door. Stick the peeled back portion of the abrasive disc to the top half of the sanding wheel. Carefully rotate the disc 180°. Peel back the second half of the abrasive backing and stick the remaining portion to the sanding disc as shown in Figure 28. Press then entire disc on to ensure good adhesion.

Table Tilt

To adjust the working table angle:

1. Set the working table angle to the 90° mark

on the scale.

2. Using a 90° square, adjust the working table so it is perpendicular to the sanding disc as shown in Figure 29.

3. Loosen the screw holding the angle indicator and set it to the 90° mark on the scale.

4. Using a 90° square, check to see if the miter slot is perpendicular to the sanding disc as shown in Figure 30.

5. To adjust, loosen the three screws shown in Figure 31. Wiggle the table until the miter

slot is parallel to the sanding disc and tighten the adjustment screws.

Make sure the gap between the working table edge and the sanding disc is no larger than

⁄8". Your fingers could get caught in

the gap, causing serious personal injury.

OPERATIONS

Testing

Once assembly is complete and adjustments have been made, the machine is ready for a test run. The purpose of a test run is to identify any unusual noises and vibrations, as well as to confirm the machine is performing as intended.

1. Turn the machine on by pulling the START

paddle on the power switch. Be sure to have your finger poised to push the paddle in if there is a problem.

2. Once the machine is running, listen for any

unusual noises. The machine should run smoothly with little or no vibrations.

3. If there are any unusual noises or vibrations,

shut the machine off immediately. The machine should not be run any further until the problems are corrected.

4. Unplug the machine and investigate the

source of the noise or vibration. Do not make any adjustments to the machine while it is plugged in.

Wear safety glasses during the entire operations process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance, assembly or adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Always wear a dust mask when operating the W1676. Using this machine produces sawdust which may cause allergic reactions or respiratory problems.

Horizontal Sanding

1. Turn the power on and allow the sander to

reach full speed.

2. Place the workpiece against the surface of

the sanding belt. Make sure you have both hands securely on the workpiece and keep fingers and hands away from sanding surface as shown in Figure 32.

3. Use the back stop to prevent the workpiece

from being propelled off of the sander.

4. If the workpiece is long, you may want to

remove the back stop from the sander. Take care to hold the workpiece securely when the back stop is removed as shown in Figure 33.

Curved Sanding

Concave curves can be sanded on the idler roller.

1. Remove the idler roller guard from the

sander.

2. Hold the workpiece against the idler roller,

slowly moving the workpiece back and forth to prevent heat build up as shown in Figure

34.

3. The smallest concave curve that can be

sanded is equal to the radius (1

⁄4") of the

idler roller.

Figure 32. Sanding with back stop.

Figure 33. Sanding without back stop.

Figure 34. Curved sanding on idler roller.

Keep fingers and clothing away from the sanding back stop. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

Page 28

-25-

Disc Sanding

The disc is best used for sanding end grain and convex curves.

1. Set the working table to the desired angle.

2. Always use the left half of the disc. (The

half that is rotating downward.)

3. Set the miter gauge at 90° to keep the work-

piece perpendicular to the sanding disc as shown in Figure 35.

4. Varying angles can be sanded by adjusting

the miter gauge to the desired setting as shown in Figure 36.

5. When the table is set at an angle, the gap

between the disc and the table becomes greater (Figure 37); therefore, use extra care to prevent small pieces and fingers from becoming lodged in the gap.

Only use the left half of the sanding disc when performing sanding operations. The right half of the disc is rotating in an upward direction and if used could cause the workpiece to be propelled into the air. Serious injury could occur.

Keep fingers and clothing away from the sanding disc. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.

For other items on this machine, an occasional application of light machine oil is all that is necessary. Before applying lubricant, wipe the machine clean.

Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too much lubrication will attract dirt and sawdust. Various parts of your machine could lose their freedom of movement as a result.

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model W1676 will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your sander each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary.

1. Loose mounting bolts.

2. Worn switch.

3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

4. Damaged sanding belts or discs.

5. Any other condition that could hamper the

safe operation of this machine.

General

Table And Base

Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applications of products like Boeshield

T-9. For long term storage you may want to consider products like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.

Wear safety glasses during the entire maintenance process. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.

Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.

Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance, assembly or adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.
