SAFETY

Additional Oscillating Edge Sander Safety

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 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.
Avoiding Entanglement. Becoming entangled
in moving parts of this machine can cause pinching and crushing injuries. To avoid these hazards, DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry, and tie back long hair. Keep all guards in place and secure.
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 risk of fingers or workpieces getting caught in it. Minimize this risk by adjusting table no more than
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.
Workpiece Support & Hand Placement. Rotating
sandpaper can remove a large amount of skin 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.
Workpiece Integrity. Only sand solid workpieces
that can withstand power sanding forces. Make sure shape of workpiece is properly supported on table; avoid sanding workpieces without flat bottom surfaces unless some type of jig is used to maintain support and control when sanding force is applied.
1
⁄16" away from sandpaper.
Feeding Workpiece. Forcefully jamming
workpiece into sanding surface could cause workpiece to be aggressively grabbed and pull your hands into sanding surface. Firmly grasp workpiece in both hands and ease it into sandpaper using light pressure.
Small Workpieces. Small workpieces are
difficult to control and require close support near 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 high rate of speed into operator or bystanders, or cause damage to sandpaper or sander. Never try to sand stock that has embedded foreign objects or questionable imperfections.
Sandpaper Condition. Worn or damaged
sandpaper not only produces poor sanding results, but could fly apart, aggressively grab workpiece, and throw debris at the operator. Always inspect sandpaper before operation and replace if worn or damaged.
Sanding Dust & Dust Collection. Sanding creates
large amounts of dust and flying particles 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. Proper dust collection reduces dust in work area, decreasing risk of long-term respiratory damage, but it is not a substitute for using a respirator.

Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed.
To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a or qualified service personnel applicable electrical codes and safety standards.
The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.
The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the requirements in the following section.
This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:
Note: The circuit requirements in this manual are for machine will be running at a time. If this machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines will be running at the same time, consult a qualified electrician to ensure the circuit is properly sized.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the main breaker box or fuse panel in your building and the incoming power connections inside the machine. This circuit must be safely sized to handle the full-load current that may be drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

Machine mounts are rubber pads mounted to a threaded stud, which can be fastened to the bottom of the machine.
Machine mounts offer certain advantages such as ease of installation, vibration dampening, and easy leveling. They also make it easier to relocate the machine later on.
The disadvantage of machine mounts is that the machine can shift or move over time. For this reason, electrical codes may limit their use if the machine is hardwired to the power source. Also, mounts may reduce the total surface area of machine-to-floor contact, depending on the design of the machine.

Dust Collection

This machine creates a lot of wood chips/ 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.
Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 400 CFM
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.
To connect machine to dust collector:
1. Fit (2) 4" dust hoses connected to a dust
collector over dust ports and secure in place with hose clamps (see Figure 25).

Test Run

After all preparation steps have been completed, the machine and its safety features must be tested to ensure correct operation. If you discover a problem with the operation of the machine or its safety components, do not operate it further until you have resolved the problem.
Note: Refer to Troubleshooting on Page 36 for solutions to common problems that may occur. If you need additional help, contact our Tech Support at (360) 734-1540.
The test run consists of verifying the following:
• Belt tracks properly and will not come off the drums during initial startup.
• Motor powers up and runs correctly.

Operation Overview

Due to the generic nature of this overview,
For Machines Mfd. Since 03/22
If you are not experienced with this type of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you seek additional training outside of this manual. Read books/magazines or get formal training before beginning any projects. Regardless of the content in this section, South Bend Tools will not be held liable for accidents caused by lack of training.
To complete a typical operation, the operator does the following:
1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it
is suitable for sanding. No extreme bows, knots, or cracks should exist.
2. Prepares and trims workpiece as necessary.
To reduce the risk of serious injury when using this machine, read and understand this entire manual before beginning any operations.
To reduce risk of eye injury from flying chips or lung damage from breathing dust, always wear safety glasses and a respirator when operating this machine.

OPERATION

Stock Inspection & Requirements

Some workpieces are not safe to sand or may require modification before they are safe to sand.
Before sanding, inspect all workpieces for the following:
• Material Type: This machine is intended
for sanding natural and man-made wood products. This machine is NOT designed to sand metal, glass, stone, tile, plastics, drywall, cement backer board, laminate products, etc.
Sanding improper materials increases risk of
respiratory harm to operator and bystanders due to especially fine dust inherently created by all types of sanding operations—even if a dust collector is used. Additionally, life of machine and sanding belts will be greatly reduced (or immediately damaged) from sanding improper materials or from exposure to fine dust created when doing so.
• Foreign Objects: Nails, staples, dirt, rocks
and other foreign objects are often embedded in wood. While sanding, these objects can become dislodged and tear sanding belt Always visually inspect your workpiece for these items. If they cannot be removed, DO NOT sand the workpiece.
• Wet or "Green" Stock: Sanding wood
with a moisture content over 20% causes unnecessary clogging and wear on the sanding belt, increases the risk of kickback, and yields poor results.

Sanding Tips

• Avoid sanding a workpiece more than is
necessary, since doing so will unnecessarily decrease belt life and cost you more money over time.
• Extend the life of sanding belts by regularly
using a PRO-STIK® abrasive surface cleaner (see Accessories on Page 32).
• As a rule-of-thumb, sand with progressively
higher grit numbers in increments of 50 or less.
• Replace sandpaper with a higher grit to
achieve a finer finish (refer to Installing/ Changing Sanding Belts on Page 24).
• Hold the workpiece securely with both
hands. Use the tables/miter stop/back stop whenever possible to support workpieces. Do not force the workpiece against the belt.
• When sanding workpieces with a bow or
crown, place the high point up on the table to prevent the workpiece from rocking, then take very light passes.
• Use the full width of the sanding belt by
adjusting the table height or workpiece position so sanding is not always done in just one area.
• Make sure belt guard is closed and secured
during operation.
• Belts clog and wear. Change belts whenever
you notice a difference in sanding quality/ performance.
Moving belt can cause serious personal injury if it comes in contact with fingers, hands, or other body parts. Always support workpiece against table or miter stop when sanding. Use extreme care to provide a safe distance between belt and any body part.

Choosing Sanding Belts

The Model SB1117 uses a 9" x 1381/2" sanding belt.
We recommend using aluminum-oxide sanding belts for best results. The grit you
choose will depend on the condition and species of wood, and the level of finish you wish to achieve.
Grit Class Usage
36 Extra
Coarse
60 Coarse Thickness sanding and
80–100 Medium Removing marks and
120–180 Fine Finish sanding.
Rough sawn boards, thickness sanding, and glue removal.

initial finish sanding.

Installing/Changing Sanding Belts

The sanding belt should be replaced whenever there is a noticeable change in sanding quality/ performance. You may also need to change grit sizes of sanding belt for quick material removal or finer finishes.
Required Sanding Belt Size
To install/change sanding belt:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
Remove (2) belt guard lock knobs and
2.
washers (see Figure 28).
Loosen back stop lock knob (see Figure 28)
3.
and open belt guard and back stop door.
............9" x 1381/2"
The general rule of thumb is to sand a workpiece with progressively higher grit numbers—in increments of 50 or less. Avoid skipping grits; the larger the grit increase at one time, the harder it will be to remove the scratches from the previous grit.
Note: Sandpaper finer than 180-grit will easily load up or burn workpieces.

Edge & End Sanding

Proper use of the oscillating edge sander will yield excellent sanding results due to the oscillating movement. Always use the miter stop to support the workpiece whenever possible. Edge and end sanding operations are performed on the main table against the platen.
To edge or end sand:
1. Connect machine to power, turn it ON, and
allow it to reach full speed.
Raise main table to desired height and
2.
adjust table tilt to desired setting (refer to Adjusting Main Table on Page 27).
Support workpiece against miter stop and
3.
slowly feed workpiece into moving belt with light, even pressure. Maintain control of workpiece, as shown in Figures 47–48. DO NOT force workpiece against belt.
Moving sanding belt can cause serious personal injury if it comes in contact with fingers, hands, or other body parts. Make sure workpiece is always supported against table. Use extreme care to provide a safe distance between belt and any part of your body.
If you must feed workpiece into sanding belt corner first, feed trailing corner first. Feeding leading corner first could cause sanding belt to grab workpiece and jerk it out of your hands.

Bevel sanding can take place on either the main table or the end table on the Model SB1117. Adjust the table tilt to match the angle you wish to sand on a workpiece. Regardless of the table being used, always keep the workpiece against the table and use two hands to control it.
To bevel sand:
1. Set table tilt to match angle of bevel on
workpiece, and set main table height to match workpiece thickness.
Connect machine to power, turn it ON, and

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance Schedule

Always disconnect machine from power before performing maintenance or serious personal injury may result.
For optimum performance from this machine, this maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Ongoing
• Check/correct loose mounting bolts.
• Check/replace damaged sanding belt. Check/replace worn switch.
• Check/replace worn or damaged wires.
•
• Clean/protect table. Correct any other unsafe condition.
•
Monthly
• Lubricate oscillation grease fittings.
• Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside
cabinet and belt guard and off motor.
MAINTENANCE

Lubrication

The oscillation grease fittings shown in Figure 55 should be lubricated once every 50 hours of
operation with a thin coat of light machine oil and 1–2 pumps of NLGI #2 or Syn-O-Gen grease.
Grease Grease
FittingsFittings
Figure Figure 55. Location of oscillation grease fittings.. Location of oscillation grease fittings.
T26419—Syn-O-Gen Synthetic Grease
Formulated with 100% pure synthesized hydrocarbon basestocks that are compounded with special thickeners and additives to make Syn-O-Gen non-melt, tacky, and water­resistant. Extremely low pour point, extremely high temperature oxidation, and thermal stability produce a grease that is unmatched in performance.

Cleaning & Protecting

Bare metal surfaces can quickly develop surface rust if not coated. Machinery stored near windows in direct sunlight or where paints, thinners, or certain gasses are open to the air can experience bleaching, discoloring of paint or yellowing of clear plastic guards.
Cleaning the SB1117 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 table by wiping it clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces. Keep the tables rust-free with regular applications of products like G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9 (see Page 32 for more details).

Machine Storage

All machinery will develop serious rust or corrosion damage if it is not properly prepared for storage. If decommissioning this machine, disconnect all power sources, thoroughly clean bare metal surfaces, coat them with light weight grease or rust preventative, and cover machine with a tarp or plastic sheet to keep out dust.
