WARNING

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.

RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

SAFETY FIRST!

1. Thoroughly read the instruction manual before operating your machine. Learn the applications, limitations and potential hazards of this machine. Keep manual in a safe, convenient place for future reference.

2. Keep work area clean and well lighted. Clutter and inadequate lighting invite potential hazards.

3. Ground all tools. If a machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it must be plugged into a three- hole grounded electrical outlet or grounded extension cord. If using an adapter to aid in accommodating a two-hole receptacle, ground using a screw to a known ground.

4. Wear eye protection at all times. Use safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles that meet the national safety standards, while operating this machine.

5. Avoid dangerous environments. Do not operate this machine in wet or open flame environments. Airborne dust particles could cause an explosion and severe fire hazard.

6. Ensure all guards are securely in place and in working condition.

7. Make sure switch is in the “OFF” position before connecting power to machine.

8. Keep work area clean, free of clutter, grease, etc.

9. Keep children and visitors away. Visitors should be kept a safe distance away while operating unit.

10. Childproof workshop with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

11. Disconnect machine when cleaning, adjusting or servicing.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.

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.
