Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
Work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip­ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.

Additional Safety for Combination Sanders

Serious injury or death can occur if fingers, clothing, jewelry, or hair get entangled in moving
components. Impact injuries can occur from kickback if workpiece is improperly fed into moving
sandpaper. Serious pinch injuries can occur from touching in-running nip point between table and

SAFETY

sanding surface. Long-term respiratory damage can occur from using sander without proper use
of a respirator. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely
heed the hazards and warnings below.

SANDPAPER DIRECTION. Feeding workpiece
incorrectly can cause it to be thrown from
machine, striking operator or bystanders, or caus­ing your hands to slip into the moving sandpaper.
To reduce these risks, only sand against direction
of sandpaper travel, ensure workpiece is properly
supported, and avoid introducing sharp edges into
moving sandpaper on leading side of workpiece.

HAND PLACEMENT. Rotating sandpaper can
remove a large amount of flesh quickly. Always
keep hands away from sandpaper during opera­tion. Never touch moving sandpaper on purpose.
Use a brush to clean table of sawdust and chips.

FEEDING WORKPIECE. Forcefully jamming work­piece into sanding surface could cause it to be
grabbed aggressively, pulling hands into sanding
surface. Firmly grasp workpiece in both hands and
ease it into sandpaper using light pressure.

AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Becoming entangled
in moving parts can cause pinching and crushing
injuries. To avoid these hazards, keep all guards
in place and closed. DO NOT wear loose clothing,
gloves, or jewelry, and tie back long hair.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Workpiece kickback can
occur with violent force if workpiece is not prop­erly supported during operation. Always sand
with workpiece firmly against table or another
support device.

WORKPIECE INSPECTION. Nails, staples, knots,
or other imperfections in workpiece can be dis­lodged and thrown from sander at a high rate of
speed at people, or cause damage to sandpaper
or sander. Never sand stock that has embedded
foreign objects or questionable imperfections.

SANDPAPER CONDITION. Worn or damaged sand­paper can fly apart and throw debris at operator,
or aggressively grab workpiece, resulting in sub­sequent injuries from operator loss of workpiece
control. Always inspect sandpaper before opera­tion and replace if worn or damaged.

IN-RUNNING NIP POINTS. The gap between
moving sandpaper and fixed table/support cre­ates a pinch point for fingers or workpieces; the
larger this gap is, the greater the risk of fingers or
workpieces getting caught in it. Minimize this risk
by adjusting table/support to no more than
away from sandpaper. For spindle sanders, always
use the table insert that fits closest diameter of
installed drum.

MINIMUM STOCK DIMENSION. Small workpieces
can be aggressively pulled from your hands, caus­ing contact with sanding surface. Always use a
jig or other holding device when sanding small
workpieces, and keep hands and fingers at least
2" away from sanding surface.

WORKPIECE INTEGRITY. Sanding fragile work-

1

⁄16"

SANDING DUST. Sanding creates large amounts
of dust that can lead to eye injury or respiratory
illness. Reduce risk by wearing approved eye and
respiratory protection when using sander. Never
operate without adequate dust collection system
in place and running. Dust collection is not a sub­stitute for using a respirator.

abrasion injuries, impact injuries, or damage to
sandpaper. Only sand solid workpieces that can
withstand power sanding forces. Make sure work­piece shape is properly supported; avoid sanding
workpieces without flat bottom surfaces unless
some type of jig is used to maintain support and
control when sanding force is applied.

SETUP

have the capacity to handle the amperage
requirements for your Model W1712. Refer
to Page 9 for more information. Electrical
outlets should be located near the sander,
so power or extension cords are clear of
high-traffic areas.

Dust Collection

Initial Cleaning

The exposed and unpainted sander surfaces are
coated with a waxy oil to prevent rust during
storage and shipment. DO NOT use chlorine
based solutions or solvents to remove this waxy
oil or you will damage the painted surfaces.
Remove the waxy oil with a solvent based
degreaser before you use the sander. Always
follow all usage and safety instructions of the
product that you are using.

DO NOT use flammables
such as gas or other
petroleum-based solvents
to clean your machine.
These products have low
flash points and present
the risk of explosion and
severe personal injury!

DO NOT smoke while
using cleaning solvents.
Smoking may cause
explosion or risk of fire
when exposed to these
products!

Some wood dust may
cause allergic reactions
or respiratory illness. Use
a dust collection system
and respirator in your
shop to help protect
yourself from these long­term hazards.

For information on the correct dust collection
components for sanders, contact your
Woodstock International dealer for a copy of
the Dust Collection Basics handbook and avail­able accessories.

ALWAYS work in well­ventilated areas far from
possible ignition sources
when using solvents to
clean machinery. Many
solvents are toxic when
inhaled or ingested. Use
care when disposing
of waste rags and
towels to be sure they
DO NOT create fire or
environmental hazards.

2. Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in the “OFF”
position before connecting the machine to power.

3. Pull the power switch up to start the sander. Once
the sander is running, listen for any unusual noises.
The machine should run smoothly with little or no
vibrations.

• If there are any unusual noises or vibrations, STOP
the sander immediately by pushing the paddle
switch down.

4. Unplug the sander and investigate the source of the

noise or vibration. DO NOT make any adjustments to
the sander while it is plugged in. The sander should
not be run any further until the problems are cor­rected.

Power Switch

The power switch on the SHOP FOX® Model W1712 not
only starts and stops the sander, but features a safety
lockout key. When the key is removed, as shown in
Figure 9, the sander is disabled to prevent accidental
start up.

Belt/Disc Selection

Figure 9. Safety lockout key removed.

The SHOP FOX® Model W1712 accepts 6" x 48" sanding
belts and 12" discs. There are a large variety of sanding
belts and discs to choose from. We recommend Aluminum
Oxide belts and discs for standard sanding purposes.
Figure 10 shows abrasive types and grit numbers.

As a general rule of thumb, progressively increase the
grit number you use without jumping more than 50 grit
sizes at one time.

Miter Sanding

The most efficient way to get a perfect miter is to cut
the workpiece slightly long and sand it to the desired
dimension. Miter sanding can be done easily with the
miter gauge:

To perform miter sanding operations:

1. Loosen the knob on the miter gauge and adjust the

angle to the desired point. Tighten the knob.

2. Slide the miter gauge into its slot in the table to

steady your workpiece at the correct angle. Note—

The miter gauge can be used in either direction in
the slot to achieve the proper relation of the
workpiece to the disc.

MAINTENANCE

General

For optimum performance from your machine, follow
this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific
instructions given in this section.

• Loose mounting bolts.

• Worn switch.

• Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

• Any other condition that could hamper the safe
operation of this machine.

Table & Base

Cleaning the Model W1712 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess
wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust
with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin
dissolving cleaner to remove it.

Protect the unpainted cast iron tables by wiping them
clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood
dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces. Keep your
tables rust-free with regular applications of quality
lubricants.

Sanding Surfaces

Regularly clean your sanding belt and disc as sawdust
builds up in the grit. Clean the sanding belts and discs
with PRO STICK
Cleaning built-up sawdust will prolong the life of your
sanding belts and discs.
