SAFETY

Additional.Safety.for.Belt.Sanders

Serious injury or death can occur from fingers, clothing, jewelry, or hair getting entangled in

moving

belt, spindle, or other components. Abrasion injuries can occur from touching moving

sandpaper with bare skin. Incorrect feeding of workpiece can lead to workpiece being thrown and

striking operator or bystanders with enough force to cause impact injuries. Long-term respiratory

damage can occur from using sander without proper use of a respirator. To reduce the risk of these

hazards, operator or bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

WORKPIECE INSPECTION. Nails, staples, knots, or

other imperfections in workpiece can be dis-

lodged 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 sand-

paper can fly apart and throw debris at opera-

tor, or aggressively grab workpiece, resulting in

subsequent injuries from operator loss of work-

piece control. Always inspect sandpaper before

operation and replace if worn or damaged.

IN-RUNNING NIP POINTS. The gap between mov-

ing 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

⁄16"

away from sandpaper. For spindle sanders,

always use the table insert that fits closest

diameter of installed drum.

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 sur-

faces unless a jig is used to maintain support

and control when sanding force is applied.

SANDING DUST. Sanding creates large amounts of

dust that can lead to eye injury or respiratory

illness. Reduce your risk by always wearing

approved eye and respiratory protection when

using sander. Never operate without adequate

dust collection system in place and running.

Howe ver, dust collection is not a substitute for

using a respirator.

SANDPAPER DIRECTION. Feeding workpiece incor-

rectly 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 prop-

erly supported, and avoid introducing sharp

edges into moving sandpaper on the leading

side of the workpiece.

HAND PLACEMENT. Rotating sandpaper can

remove a large amount of flesh quickly. Always

keep hands away from sandpaper during opera-

tion. Never touch moving sandpaper on pur-

pose. Use a brush to clean table of sawdust

and chips.

FEEDING WORKPIECE. Forcefully jamming work-

piece 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 crush-

ing 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.

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.

-9-

Model W1843 (For Machines Mfd. Since 3/17)

ELECTRICAL

Additional.Safety.for.Buffing.Systems

Serious injury or death can occur from fingers, clothing, jewelry, or hair getting entangled in rotat-

ing buffing wheel, spindle, or other moving components. Workpieces thrown by buffing surface can

strike operator or bystanders with moderate force, causing impact injuries. Long-term respiratory

damage can occur from using machine without proper use of a respirator. To reduce the risk of

these hazards, operator or bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

HAND/WHEEL CONTACT. Never purposely touch

moving buffing wheel or shaft. Take care to

keep fingers away from buffing wheel during

operations. If the workpiece is small or dif-

ficult to hold, use a workpiece holding fixture.

Abrasives can quickly remove large amounts

of skin!

BE AWARE OF DUST ALLERGIES. Be aware that

certain woods may cause an allergic reaction

in people and animals, especially when fine

dust is created by buffing. Make sure you know

what type of wood dust you will be exposed

to in case there is a possibility of an allergic

reaction.

AVOID KICKBACK. Avoid kickback by buffing in

accordance with directional arrows. Always

buff on the downward side of the wheel—pay

close attention to the direction of wheel rota-

tion to avoid placing the workpiece against the

upward side of the buffing wheel. Avoid buff-

ing with excessive force.

WORKPIECE SELECTION. Always inspect the con-

dition of your workpiece. DO NOT buff pieces

with loose knots, large splinters, protruding

nails, or other objects with sharp edges. DO

NOT buff cable, chain, or other irregularly

shaped objects that may be grabbed by the

buffing wheel and thrown at the operator.

WORKPIECE FEED. Allow the wheel to reach full

speed, then slowly ease the workpiece into

the buffing wheel, holding it in front of and

slightly below the wheel center. DO NOT buff

workpiece on the top or sides of the buffing

wheel. DO NOT place an edge or corner of the

workpiece against the buffing wheel or jam it

against the wheel. The workpiece may eject

toward the operator or be torn from the oper-

ator's hands, causing serious personal injury.

WORKPIECE CONTROL. If you cannot hold small

workpieces securely, do not buff them with

this machine. Hold them with clamps or similar

jigs, or use a smaller buffer.

DISCONNECT POWER WHEN SERVICING.

Disconnect the machine from power and

allow the wheel to come to a complete stop

before service, maintenance, or adjustments.

Avoid pulling cord-connected machinery

from the cord—instead, grasp the plug when

disconnecting it from power.

AVOID ENTANGLEMENT. Tie back long hair and

remove any loose-fitting clothing or jewelry

that could be caught up in the buffing wheel

or other moving machine parts. Avoid wearing

gloves as they may get caught in the buffing

wheel and cause entanglement injuries.

MOUNTING TO BENCH/STAND.

An unsecured

buffer may become dangerously out of control

during operation. Make sure buffer is FIRMLY

secured to a bench/stand before use.

CORRECT ACCESSORIES AND USE. Never install

a grinding wheel on this buffer. It is only

designed for buffing and polishing. Never

exceed maximum speed listed on each buff-

ing/polishing wheel.

OPERATOR POSITION.

Do not stand directly in

front of the buffer wheel when turning the

machine on, or when buffing. Do not buff

material from the rear of the machine.

AVOID WORKPIECE GRAB.

Firmly support the

workpiece against the rotation direction of the

buffing wheel. Otherwise, the buffing wheel

could grab the workpiece and pull your hands

into the moving wheel.

ELECTRICAL

Circuit.Requirements

This machine must be connected to the correct size and

type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage

may occur. Read through this section to determine if an

adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct

circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install

one before you can connect the machine to power.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment

between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building

and the machine. The power supply circuit used for

this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-

load current 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.)

Circuit.Requirements.for.110V

This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply

circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following

requirements:

Circuit.Type................ 110V/120V,.60.Hz,.Single-Phase

ELECTRICAL

Grounding.Requirements

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain

types of

malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides

a path of least resistance for electric current

to travel—in

order

to reduce the risk of electric shock.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

wire

will

increase

the risk of electric shock. The wire with green

insulation

(with/without yellow stripes) is the equipment-

grounding

wire. If repair or replacement of the power

cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-

grounding

wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel

you do not understand these grounding requirements,

or if

you are in doubt about whether the tool is

properly grounded.

If you ever notice that a cord or

plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and

immediately replace it with a new one.

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)

Basic.steps.for.removing.rust.preventative:

Put on safety glasses.

Coat the rust preventative with a liberal

amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it

soak for 5–10 minutes.

Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/

degreaser is effective, the rust

preventative will wipe off easily. If you

have a plastic paint scraper, scrape off as

much as you can first, then wipe off the

rest with the rag.

Repeat Steps.2–3 as necessary until clean,

then coat all unpainted surfaces with a

quality metal protectant to prevent rust.

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.

SETUP

Assembly

Before beginning the assembly process, refer to Items.

Needed.for.Setup

and gather everything you need.

Ensure all parts have been properly cleaned of the

heavy-duty rust-preventative applied at the factory, if

applicable. Be sure to complete all steps in the assembly

procedure prior to performing the Test.Run.

To.assemble.machine,.do.these.steps:

1... Slide the mounting adapter onto the right-hand arbor

of the motor assembly with the countersunk holes

facing out, then rotate it so that the flat edge is at

the 10 o'clock position, as shown in Figure 7.

2. Secure the adapter to the motor assembly with (3)

⁄4"-20 x

⁄2" cap screws (see Figure 7).

3. Back out the (3) cap screws and (4) set screws

in the pivot arm mounting bracket and the pivot

arm bracket, then slide the pivot arm bracket

onto the pivot arm mounting bracket, as shown in

Figures 8–9.

Note: The pivot arm bracket bushing is shipped with

a lubricating grease coating on its outer surface.

This lubricant will keep the motion of the pivot arm

smooth during operation and reduce the wear on the

metal-to-metal surfaces.

4. For now, finger-tighten the three cap screws enough

to hold the two brackets together. You will fully

tighten these fasteners in a later step.

Note: Make sure the four set screws DO NOT make

contact with the opposite bracket.

5. Slide the assembled arm brackets onto the right-

hand arbor with the arm bracket bushing facing

out, as shown in Figure 10, then secure it with the

remaining (3)

⁄4"-20 x

⁄2" cap screws.

6. Move the machine to the selected mounting surface,

and use the eight holes in the base of the motor

assembly and the pivot arm bracket assembly as a

template for drilling the mounting holes.

7. Loosen the three cap screws of the pivot arm

bracket assembly (see Figures 8–9 on Page.17),

then use the mounting hardware you have chosen to

firmly secure the motor assembly and the bracket

assembly in place.

Note: Before fully tightening the mounting

hardware, make sure that the three cap screws and

four set screws of the arm bracket assembly are

loose. This will allow the mounting bracket to lay

flat on the mounting surface.

8. Tighten the four set screws in the pivot arm bracket

assembly (see Figures 8–9.on Page.17) just until you

feel resistance. This will keep the two parts of the

assembly stable during operation.

9. Fully tighten the three cap screws on the pivot arm

bracket assembly.

10. Back out the two set screws in the round end of the

pivot arm, slide the arm onto the bracket bushing so

that the platen bracket cap screws are facing to the

right, as shown in Figure 11, then tighten the set

screws to hold the pivot arm in place.

Note: The pivot arm and bushing are designed so

that the set screws tighten into the grooved surface

of the bushing. This keeps the pivot arm from

sliding off the bushing when using the tilt feature.

General

To complete a typical sanding operation, the operator

does the following:

1. Examines the workpiece to make sure it is suitable

for sanding.

2. Installs the correct sanding belt for the operation

(composition and grit).

3. Turns the drive wheel by hand to make sure the

sanding belt is tracking correctly and is properly

tensioned.

4. Verifies that the platen is centered on the sanding

belt.

5. Adjusts the tool rest to the correct position for the

operation and makes sure that it is no more than

⁄16" away from the sanding belt.

6. Connects the machine to power and pulls the ON/

OFF button out to turn it ON.

7. Verifies that the sanding belt is tracking properly and

rotating without interference.

8. Places the workpiece onto the tool rest and slowly

moves it into the sanding belt with the direction of

the belt.

9. Removes the workpiece and pushes the ON/OFF

button in to turn the machine OFF.

Adjusting.Sanding.Belt.Tracking

To ensure safe operation, the sanding belt must stay

centered on the idler and drive wheels while the machine

is ON. This is a trial-and-error process that requires some

patience.

To adjust the sanding belt tracking, do these steps:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Make sure the sanding belt is correctly installed and

tensioned (refer to the Sanding Belt subsection on

Page 23 for detailed instructions).

3. Rotate the drive wheel several times by hand and

watch the sanding belt as it tracks on the idler and

drive wheels.

— If the sanding belt is centered on the idler and

drive wheels, and does not move to one side

or the other after several rotations, no further

adjustments are necessary.

— If the sanding belt moves to one side or the other

while rotating, continue with this procedure.

4. Make a small adjustment to the tracking adjustment

knob, then rotate the drive wheel several times

while observing the sanding belt (see Figure 22).

— If the sanding belt moves to the right, rotate the

adjustment knob clockwise.

— If the sanding belt moves to the left, rotate the

adjustment knob counterclockwise.

5. Repeat Step 4 until the sanding belt stays centered

on the idler and drive wheels after several rotations.

6. To verify the sanding belt tracking, turn the machine

ON and watch the belt tracking.

— If the belt does not wander, then it is tracking

correctly.

— If the belt does wander, very slowly adjust the

tracking adjustment knob until the belt stays

centered on the wheels.

OPERATIONS

Belt.Sanding

The sanding belt is used to sand wood or metal. We

recommend using aluminum oxide sanding belts for wood

and silicon carbide for metal. Refer to Accessories on

Page 34 for options from Shop Fox.

Always be sure the sanding belt is properly installed,

tensioned, and tracked before connecting the machine to

power (refer to the Sanding Belt subsection on Page 23

for detailed instructions).

Always adjust the tool rest so that it is no more than

⁄16" away from the belt. This helps to ensure that the

workpiece does not get trapped between the rest and the

belt.

Make sure the platen is centered on the sanding belt.

Adjust the platen by loosening both cap screws securing

platen to the vertical rod, then re-tighten the cap screws.

Note: The platen provides a solid back rest and helps

reduce friction as the belt passes the tool rest. Platen

should be lightly touching backside of belt, but not

bowing belt outward.

Figure 23 shows a typical wood sanding operation with

the tool rest perpendicular to the belt surface.

The sanding belt is also used for knife grinding and

sharpening. Figure 24 depicts a typical knife edge

grinding operation. Generally, this is done with the tool

rest removed.

Note: There are many different techniques for using the

sanding belt to grind and sharpen knives. Whichever one

you use, make sure that you hold the knife firmly and

ease it into the belt without excessive pressure to ensure

a safe operation.

The belt is also used for contour sanding. When doing this

type of operation, it is best to remove the platen and the

tool rest so the belt can flex to better conform to the

shape of the workpiece (see Figure 25).

OPERATIONS

The sanding arm assembly tilts to a horizontal position, as

shown in Figure 27. This arrangement is more convenient

for certain types of sanding or grinding operations.

To position the sanding arm assembly horizontally, do

these steps:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. While holding the arm assembly, loosen the two

set screws in the round end of the pivot arm

(see Figure 26).

3. Pivot the assembly to the desired angle, then

re-tighten the pivot arm set screws to secure it in

place.

4. Adjust the tool rest in the position (see Figure 27)

that is correct for your operation.

Note: If you will be using the contour of the drive

wheel for sanding or grinding, remove the tool

rest assembly so that it will not interfere with the

operation. Otherwise, you will need to mount it

differently so that it will not interfere with the

sanding belt.

5. Check and adjust, if necessary, the sanding belt

tracking (refer to Adjusting Sanding Belt Tracking

Model W1843 (For Machines Mfd. Since 3/17)

OPERATIONS

Below are some quick tips for getting the most out of your

buffer. Remember, there is no substitute for experience.

Learning how to hold the workpiece, how much pressure

to apply, how to move the workpiece against the wheel,

and how much compound to use requires trial and error.

• Thoroughly clean all parts that you plan to buff.

Dirt, oil, rust, paint or other film must be removed

chemically or with water. Dry parts with a rag.

• Apply buffing compounds in small amounts at a time.

Apply paste-type compounds with a wand or directly

to the part. For wax-based polishing stick-type

compounds, press the compound on the wheel for

a couple of seconds while the machine is running.

Avoid using too much compound.

Buffing

• Put your workpiece under the wheel when you

are loading the compound on the buffing wheel.

This way, you will catch any compound that would

normally be wasted on the floor.

• Only use the area indicated in Figure 29 to do the

actual buffing. Contacting the workpiece on areas

outside the correct area may flip the workpiece out

of your hands.

• Hold the workpiece tightly at all times while buffing.

Placing one hand near the contact point will give you

better control.

• Keep buffing wheels raked out before each use and

when buildup gets heavy during use. Raking means

to clean the buffing wheels with a wheel rake to

remove built-up compounds and metal particles.

ALWAYS use light pressure when raking wheels!

• Do not mix two different compounds on the same

wheel. For best results, use a separate wheel for

each compound.

• Always use an upward stroke with heavy to moderate

pressure for cutting. Use a downward stroke with

light pressure for polishing. See Figure 30.

• Wear safety equipment when buffing. If the buffer

forces the workpiece out of your hand, be prepared

for it to come flying at you! Wear safety glasses or

a face shield and a heavy leather apron. Also, wear

a dust mask to protect your lungs from microscopic

particulate that will be flying off the wheel.

Buffing.Compound.

Selection

Most colors of abrasives have similar applications, but

always check with the manufacturer of your particular

compound.

Shop Fox offers the following compounds:

Red Rouge — Made for fine polishing on brass and gold.

Provides an excellent shine when used with the loose

muslin buffing wheel.

Green (Extra Fine) — Great for extra-fine polishing on

most metals to bring out that mirror finish. Works best

with loose muslin and spiral-sewn buffing wheels.

White — Great for ivory, plastic and resins when used

successively with the soft spiral sewn and soft airway

buffing wheels.

Black — Designed to be used with sisal and airway hard

buffing wheels, this compound is perfect for the initial

rough cut on stainless steel and iron.

Tripoli — A true middle-of-the-road abrasive, Tripoli pro-

vides an excellent medium cut for brass, aluminum and

zinc alloy.

Green (Fine) — Slightly more abrasive than the extra

fine green, this green compound is great for a medium to

fine polish with most softer metals.
