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.

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!
