Additional Safety for Combo 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.
FEEDING WORKPIECE. 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. Entanglment in mov-
ing parts can cause pinching and crushing injuries. Keep all guards in place and closed. DO
NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry,
and tie back long hair.
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.
WORKPIECE INTEGRITY. Sanding fragile work-
pieces can result in loss of control, resulting
in 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.
SANDPAPER CONDITION. Worn or damaged sand-
paper can aggressively grab workpiece, resulting in subsequent injuries from operator loss of
workpiece control. Always inspect sandpaper
before operation and replace if worn or damaged.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT & HAND PLACEMENT.
Rotating sandpaper can remove a large amount
of flesh quickly, and 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. Never touch moving sandpaper on
purpose.
IN-RUNNING NIP POINTS. The gap between mov-
ing sandpaper and fixed table/support creates a pinch point for fingers or workpieces;
of fingers or workpieces getting caught in it.
Minimize this risk by adjusting table/support to
no more than 1⁄16" 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 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.

work tables, or other machinery when
establishing a location for this machine in the
shop. Below is the minimum amount of space
needed for the machine.
users can injure themselves
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but
it will take a little time to clean.
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper
care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
There are many ways to remove this rust
preventative, but the following steps work well
in a wide variety of situations. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions with any cleaning
product you use and make sure you work in a
well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to
toxic fumes.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
• Disposable rags
• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)
• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Bench Mounting
The base of this machine has mounting holes that allow it
to be fastened to a workbench or other mounting surface
to prevent it from moving during operation and causing
accidental injury or damage.
The strongest mounting option is a “Through Mount” (see
example) where holes are drilled all the way through the
workbench—and hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are
used to secure the machine in place.
Another option is a “Direct Mount” (see example) where
the machine is secured directly to the workbench with lag
screws and washers.

Dust Collection
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating
of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust
port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of
the dust collector, (2) hose type and length between the
dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout
the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables
is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or
purchase a good dust collection “how-to” book.
Recommended CFM at Dust Port: ................ 250 CFM
This machine creates substantial amounts of dust
during operation. Breathing airborne dust on a regular basis can result in permanent respiratory illness.
Reduce your risk by wearing a respirator and capturing the dust with a dust collection system.

OPERATIONS
This machine will perform many types of operations
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these
operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed
incorrectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the
understanding that the operator has the necessary
knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at any
time you are experiencing difficulties performing any
operation, stop using the machine!
The overview below provides the novice machine operator
with a basic understanding of how the machine is used
during operation, so the machine controls/components
discussed later in this manual are easier to understand.
Due to its generic nature, this overview is
to be an instructional guide.
General
Model W1855 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/17)
To reduce your risk of serious injury
or damage to the machine, read this
entire manual BEFORE using machine.
NOT intended
This combination sander removes surface material from the
edges, ends, and faces of wood stock using an abrasive belt
and disc. A steel platen on the sanding belt frame provides
a flat support surface for the sanding belt and workpiece.
The abrasive belt revolves around a pair of rollers, one of
which is driven by the motor. The adhesive-backed abrasive
disc is attached to an aluminum disc, which revolves in a
counterclockwise direction.
OPERATIONS
During a typical operation, the sander is turned ON, and
while holding the workpiece with both hands, the operator
gradually eases the workpiece into the belt or the left side
of the sanding disc.
To reduce the risk of eye injury and
long-term respiratory damage, always
wear safety glasses and a respirator
while operating this machine.
If you are an inexperienced operator,
we strongly recommend that you read
books or trade articles, or seek training
from an experienced operator of this
type of machinery before performing
unfamiliar operations. Above all, safety
must come first!
