The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This  
manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the  
safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by  
themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention mea-  
sures—this responsibility is ultimately up to the operator!  
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.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
MAY result in minor or moderate injury.  
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about  
proper operation of the equipment, and/or a situation that may  
cause damage to the machinery.  
NOTICE  
Standard Machinery Safety Instructions  
Standard Machinery Safety Instructions  
OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this  
owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.  
Untrained users can be seriously hurt.  
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing  
protection when operating or observing  
loud machinery. Extended exposure to this  
noise without hearing protection can cause  
permanent hearing loss.  
EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved  
safety glasses or a face shield when operating  
or observing machinery to reduce the risk of  
eye injury or blindness from flying particles.  
Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety  
glasses.  
MENTAL ALERTNESS. Be mentally alert when  
running machinery. Never operate under the  
influence of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or  
when distracted.  
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using  
machinery may cause cancer, birth defects,  
or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware  
of dust hazards associated with workpiece  
materials, and always wear a NIOSH-approved  
respirator to reduce your risk.  
DISCONNECTING POWER SUPPLY. Always  
disconnect machine from power supply before  
servicing, adjusting, or changing cutting tools  
(bits, blades, cutters, etc.). Make sure switch  
is in OFF position before reconnecting to avoid  
an unexpected or unintentional start.  
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear  
clothing, apparel, or jewelry that can become  
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back  
or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to  
avoid accidental slips which could cause a loss  
of workpiece control.

W1730 Oscillating Edge Sander  
APPROVED OPERATION. Untrained operators  
can be seriously hurt by machinery. Only  
allow trained or properly supervised people  
to use machine. When machine is not being  
used, disconnect power, remove switch keys,  
or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized  
use—especially around children. Make  
workshop kid proof!  
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.  
ONLY USE AS INTENDED. Only use machine for  
its intended purpose. Never modify or alter  
machine for a purpose not intended by the  
manufacturer or serious injury may result!  
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.  
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult  
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for  
recommended accessories. Using improper  
accessories will increase the risk of serious  
injury.  
UNATTENDED OPERATION. Never leave machine  
running while unattended. Turn machine off  
and ensure all moving parts completely stop  
before walking away.  
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and  
bystanders a safe distance away from work  
area. Stop using machine if children or  
bystanders become a distraction.  
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance  
instructions and lubrication schedules to  
keep machine in good working condition. An  
improperly maintained machine may increase  
the risk of serious injury.  
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Never leave  
adjustment tools, chuck keys, wrenches, etc.  
in or on machine—especially near moving  
parts. Verify removal before starting!  
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect  
machine for damaged parts, loose bolts,  
mis-adjusted or mis-aligned parts, binding,  
or any other conditions that may affect safe  
operation. Always repair or replace damaged  
parts, wires, cords, or plugs before operating  
machine.  
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.  
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting  
cord-connected machines from power, grab  
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the  
cord may damage the wires inside. Do not  
handle the cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid  
cord damage by keeping it away from heated  
surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals,  
and wet or damp locations.  
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.  
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you  
are experiencing difficulties performing 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.  
The machine must be properly set up  
before it is safe to operate. DO NOT  
connect this machine to the power  
source until instructed to do later in  
this manual.  
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.)  
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.  
Incorrectly wiring or grounding this  
machine can cause electrocution, fire,  
or machine damage. To reduce this risk,  
only a qualified electrician or service  
personnel should do any required  
electrical work for this machine.  
Full-Load Current Rating at 240V....................9 Amps  
Circuit Requirements for 240V  
This machine is prewired to operate on a 220V power  
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the  
following requirements:  
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.  
Circuit Type ...............220V/240V, 60 Hz, Single-Phase  
Circuit Size ............................................. 15 Amps  
Plug/Receptacle .................................... NEMA 6-15

W1730 Oscillating Edge Sander  
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.  
The machine must be properly set up  
before it is safe to operate. DO NOT  
connect this machine to the power  
source until instructed to do later in  
this manual.  
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.  
GROUNDED  
6-15 RECEPTACLE  
Current Carrying Prongs  
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.  
6-15 PLUG  
Grounding Prong  
Figure 8. NEMA 6-15 plug & receptacle.  
For 240V Connection  
The power cord and plug specified under "Circuit  
Requirements for 240V" on the previous page has an  
equipment-grounding wire and a grounding prong. The  
plug must only inserted into a matching receptacle  
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in  
accordance with all local codes and ordinances (see  
Figure 8).  
DO NOT modify the provided plug or use  
an adapter if the plug will not fit your  
receptacle. Instead, have a qualified  
electrician install the proper receptacle  
on a power supply circuit that meets the  
requirements for this machine.  
Extension Cords  
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this  
machine. Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may  
damage electrical components and shorten motor life.  
Voltage drop increases with longer extension cords and  
the gauge smaller gauge sizes (higher gauge numbers  
indicate smaller sizes).  
Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a  
ground wire, match the required plug and receptacle, and  
meet the following requirements:  
Minimum Gauge Size at 240V ......................14 AWG  
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) ................50 ft.

MAINTENANCE  
General  
Regular periodic maintenance on your SHOP FOX® Model  
W1730 will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit  
of inspecting your oscillating edge sander each time you  
use it.  
Check for the following conditions and repair or  
replace when necessary:  
Loose mounting bolts.  
Worn or damaged sanding belts.  
Worn switch.  
Worn or damaged cords and plugs.  
Damaged V-belt.  
Any other condition that could hamper the safe  
operation of this machine.  
MAKE SURE that your machine is  
unplugged during all maintenance pro-  
cedures! If this warning is ignored, seri-  
ous personal injury may occur.  
Cleaning  
Frequently blow-off sawdust with compressed air. This is  
especially important for the internal working parts and  
motor. Dust build-up around the motor is a sure way to  
decrease its life span.  
Occasionally it will become necessary to clean the  
internal parts with more than compressed air. To do this,  
remove the table top and clean the internal parts with  
a citrus cleaner or mineral spirits and a stiff wire brush  
or steel wool. Make sure the internal workings are dry  
before using the sander again, so that wood dust will not  
accumulate. If any essential lubrication is removed during  
cleaning, re-lubricate those areas.  
Table & Base  
Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applications  
of a product like SLIPIT®. For long term storage you may  
want to consider a product like Boeshield T-9™.
