REMOV
E ADJUSTING TOOLS. Never leave
adjustment tools, chuck keys, wrenches, etc.
in or on machine—especially near moving
parts. Verify removal before starting!
SECURING WORKPIECE.
When required, use
clamps or vises to secure workpiece. A secured
workpiece protects hands and frees both of
them to operate the machine.
FEED DIRECTION.
Unless otherwise noted, feed
work against the rotation of blades or cutters.
Feeding in the same direction of rotation may
pull your hand into the cut.
GUARDS & COVERS.
Guards and covers can
protect you from accidental contact with
moving parts or flying debris. Make sure
they are properly installed, undamaged, and
working correctly before using machine.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE.
Serious injury or
accidental contact with cutting tool may
occur if machine is tipped. Machine may be
damaged.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during
operations greatly increases the risk of injury
and loss of control. Verify machines are
stable/secure and mobile bases (if used) are
locked before starting.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It
will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand
positions that make workpiece control difficult
or increase the risk of accidental injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. Never leave machine
running while unattended. Turn machine off
and ensure all moving parts completely stop
before walking away.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to
keep machine in good working condition. An

Additional.Safety.for.Air.Filters
INTENDED.USE. This air filter is designed
to capture dust from ambient air in a
woodworking shop for a short time after
cutting or sanding operations. DO NOT use
this air filter to collect particles of silica,
metal, lead paint, asbestos, or hazardous
bacterium. DO NOT allow this filter to collect
liquids, combustible fumes, burning or
smoking material, or toxic fumes.
HAZARDOUS.DUST. Dust exposure may cause
cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory
damage. Be aware of the dust hazards
associated with each workpiece material, and
always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.
LEAD.PAINT.DUST.AND.ASBESTOS.FIBERS. DO
NOT try to collect lead paint or asbestos
fibers with this machine. Due to the high
hazard to human health, these materials must
be collected with special equipment.
DUST.ALLERGIES. Dust from certain woods
may cause an allergic reaction in people and
animals. Make sure you know what type of
wood dust you will be exposed to in case
there is a possibility of an allergic reaction.
WEAR.RESPIRATOR. Fine dust that is too small
to be caught in the filter will be blown into
the ambient air during operation. Wearing a
NIOSH approved respirator during this time
will reduce your risk of permanent respiratory
damage.
EMPTYING.DUST. When removing dust from the
filters, turn OFF the switch, disconnect power,
and wear a respirator and safety glasses.
Empty dust away from ignition sources and
into an approved container.
DISCONNECTING.POWER.SUPPLY. Turn the
switch OFF, disconnect the air filter from the

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.Type....................... 120V,.60.Hz,.Single-Phase
Circuit.Size.............................................. 15.Amps
Plug/Receptacle..................................... NEMA.5-15
Full-Load.Current.Rating
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.
Full-Load.Current.Rating.at.120V......................1.Amp
The machine must be properly set up
before it is safe to operate. DO NOT
connect this machine to the power

this manual.
Incorrectly wiring or grounding this
machine can cause electrocution, fire,
or machine damage. To reduce this risk,
only an electrician or qualified service
personnel should do any required
electrical work on this machine.
NOTICE
The circuit requirements listed in this
manual apply to a dedicated circuit—
where only one 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 that the circuit is
properly sized for safe operation.
This machine is prewired to operate on a 120V power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the
following requirements:

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
if
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.

SETUP
Site.Planning
Site planning is an important step to maximize the
effectiveness of the hanging air filter. Air circulation
must be thought out and all obstructions to the air path
considered.
Think of air circulation in terms of the circular motion of
the air before and after the air filter. The air exiting the
filter is exhausted at a higher velocity than that entering
it. Consequently, exhaust being vented inside a building
can have an effect on the pattern of air circulation.
Air circulation patterns will vary depending upon which
air flow speed is used and according to your specific shop
setup. Figure.7 shows an example of good air circulation.
Figure.8 shows an example of poor air circulation, where
the air filter is placed too close to obstructions. In this
situation, the velocity of the air is lost and circulation is
diminished.
Below.is.a.list.of.things.to.keep.in.mind.when.selecting.
a.spot.for.the.air.filter:
• Study your shop layout and try to determine the best
location for the hanging air filter. Air flow that is
obstructed will cause a short cycle effect, producing
unsatisfactory results. There must be a clearance of
at least 3 ft. from any obstructions in front and back
of the unit.
• Try to place the air filter in front of high dust
producers like sanders or near areas where sanding
will take place.
• Do not place the hanging air filter where garage
doors may pass closely or where it may impede
transport or movement of any other object.
• Try to place the unit where it is easy to access for
turning it on, cleaning and maintenance.
It.is.very.impor tant.that.the.hanging.air. filter.be.
supported.properly..Please.follow.these.guidelines.
when.planning.where.to.mount.the.unit:
• Where the mounting brackets attach is the top of
the unit. The hanging air filter can only be secured
by the machine hooks on its top.
Air
Filter
Figure 7. The air filter placement
promotes GOOD circular air motion.
Air
Filter
Figure 8. The air filter placement is too
close to the walls and leaves much of the
room unfiltered.
• Make sure that an electrical outlet
with a properly grounded receptacle is
available at the location you choose.
• The hanging air filter must be
supported by wood joists that are
capable of supporting at least 100 lbs
each. DO NOT attach the hanging air
filter to only sheet rock, press board
or paneling. These materials cannot
support the filter, and it may fall.
• Avoid hitting your head on the hanging
air filter. Make sure there is enough
clearance between the unit and the
ground, especially important in a
basement. If possible, position the air
filter in an area that has little foot
traffic but still offers easy access to
the switch and filters.
-14-
Model W1830 (For Machines Mfd. Since 4/15)
SETUP
The Model W1830 performs best when hung from the
ceiling.
The advantage of having the air filter mounted to the
ceiling is that the air circulation pattern is not blocked by
equipment and obstacles closer to the floor.
When choosing a location to mount the air filter to the
ceiling, keep in mind the clearance necessary underneath
the machine for foot traffic or other operations. The
mounting chains can be used at full length, which will
bring the bottom of the air filter to approximately 25
1
⁄2"
from the ceiling, or the chains can be doubled-up, which
will bring the unit approximately 19
1
⁄2" below the ceiling.
Important: The ceiling hooks must only be screwed into
solid wood. Otherwise, they may pull out under load and
cause the air filter to fall.
To.mount.the.air.filter.to.the.ceiling,.do.these.steps:
1. Replace the four Phillips head screws shown in
Figure.9 with the four provided machine hooks (see
Figure.10).
2. Tighten each hex nut on the hooks against the air
filter body to secure them in place.
Mounting.to.Ceiling
ONLY.mount.the.air.filter. unit.to.joists.
or. table. that. can. hold. at. least. 100.

SETUP
Note: Some positions for the ceiling hooks may be
slightly uneven from each another. To make up for
this, minor adjustments can be made to the length
of the hanging assembly by adjusting the amount
that the machine hook is threaded into the air filter
housing (see Figure 11). After adjusting the hook
height, tighten the hex nut to secure the hook.
3. Drill a
3
⁄32" pilot hole into the center of the joists at
the mounting locations, then fully thread the ceiling
hooks into the joists (see Figure 12).
Important: If the joists are covered with sheet rock
or paneling, use a stud finder or other device to
locate the center of the joists.
4. Attach the provided chains to the ceiling hooks.
5. With the help of another person to hold the air
filter up, attach the other end of the chains to the
machine hooks.

Filtering.Performance
When used in conjunction with an efficient
dust collection system, the Model W1830
removes most fine wood particles up to 1
micron from the air. This air filter is capable of
recirculating the air in a room measuring 20'
x 20' x 8' approximately 7.7 times an hour. We
recommend that the volume of air in your room
be recirculated 6–9 times an hour for the best
filtering effect.
Therefore, rooms with a larger volume may
require two or more air filters to achieve proper
filtering.
To.calculate.the.recirculating.rate.for.your.
shop.space,.do.these.steps:
1. Calculate the volume of air in your shop by
multiplying the length x width x height of
the room (see the example below). Then,
divide the volume by the speed (CFM) you
have chosen to operate the air filter. This
will give you how many minutes it takes to
recirculate the air in the room.
Example: The room measures 20' x 20' x 8'
and you are operating the air filter at 409
CFM (HI).
20' x 20' x 8'
= =
3200 ft

2. Calculate how many times per hour the
room volume is recirculated through the
air filter by dividing 60 minutes by the
circulating time from Step.1. This will give
you how many times an hour the air in the
room is recirculated through the air filter.
Ma chine.Storage
When the air filter is not in use, unplug the
power cord from the power source. Secure the
power cord away from potential hazards, such as
high traffic areas, sharp objects, heat sources,
harsh chemicals or fumes, damp areas, etc.

D3834—Inner.Filter.for.Model.W1830
D3835—Outer.Filter.for.Model.W1830
We recommend that you keep a set of filters on hand to ensure
uninterrupted service of your air filter.
The Shop.Fox.Model.W1746 is one machine that will sit in the shop
and gather dust—fine dust that is! With its three speed fan, automatic
shut-off and 0.3 micron filter, this fine dust air filter circulates shop
air and captures the fine dust that otherwise stays suspended. Even
with an efficient dust collector, if other machines are making dust, you
need this fine air filter.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
The amount of air filter operation has a direct bearing on
when you must clean or replace the filters.
To maintain efficient operation, check the filters
approximately every 40 hours of use in light or moderately
dusty environments. In very dusty environments, check
the filters every eight hours of use. Always wear a
respirator when checking the filters.
To.change.and.service.the.filters,.do.these.steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Un-latch the filter retaining clips from the top and
bottom of the unit, as shown in Figure.13, and
remove the outer filter. Place the filter in a trash
bag and shake it gently to remove the bulk of the
dust.
If you choose to use compressed air to further clean
the filter, do so outdoors and in an appropriate
environment where people are not in the immediate
vicinity.
3. Remove the inner filter, place it inside a trash bag
and gently shake the dust from the inside of the
filter.
Optional: Wash the inner filter with water to remove
the remaining dust, then let it air dry completely.
4. Re-install the inner filter, then re-install the outer
filter with the wire mesh facing to the inside.
5. Re-latch the retaining clips to secure the filters.
Note: During regular use the filters can be cleaned
several times before replacement becomes necessary. To
determine whether the filters need to be replaced, hold
them up to the sunlight and visually inspect them. If you
cannot see through the filters due to caked dust and
grim, replace them before putting air filter back into
operation.
