Additional Safety for Disc Sanders

AVOID FINGER INJURIES. Never purposely

touch the moving sanding disc. Take care to

keep fingers away from sanding disc during

operations. If the workpiece is small or

difficult to hold, use a workpiece holding

fixture. Sanding abrasives can quickly remove

large amounts of skin!

POSITION TABLE CORRECTLY. Make sure the

gap between the table and sanding disc does

not exceed ³⁄16"—too large of a gap increases

the risk of workpiece grab and pinch injuries,

while too small of a gap increases the risk of

sandpaper damage and restricts the removal

of dust during operation.

AVOID WORKPIECE GRAB. Support the workpiece

on the work table against the rotation

ONLY USE SAFE SANDPAPER DISCS. Never use

sanding discs that are damaged or torn;

or if the adhesive is not sticking firmly. If

sandpaper rips or comes off of the disc during

operation, the workpiece or your hands could

become entangled with the moving disc.

direction of the sanding disc. Otherwise, the

sanding disc could grab the workpiece and pull

your hands into the moving disc.

AVOID KICKBACK. Avoid kickback by sanding

in accordance with directional arrows.

Always sand on the downward side of the

disc—pay close attention to the direction of

disc rotation to avoid placing the workpiece

against the upward side of the disc. Avoid

sanding with excessive force. Always keep the

sanding disc guard installed.

AVOID ENTANGLEMENT. Tie back long hair and

remove any loose-fitting clothing or jewelry

that could be caught up in the sanding disc or

other moving machine parts.

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 sanding. Make sure you

know what type of wood dust you will be

exposed to in case there is a possibility of an

allergic reaction.

ONLY SAND SAFE WORKPIECES. If there is

any doubt about stability or integrity of the

material to be sanded, do not sand it. Never

attempt to sand any sort of cable, chain, or

wire. If you do, entanglement can occur and

cause serious injury.

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM FINE DUST. This

machine puts fine dust particles into the air

during operation. Wood dust is harmful to

respiratory systems and long term exposure

may lead to severe health problems. Reduce

your risk by always wearing a NIOSH-approved

respirator during machine operation and for a

short time after.

DISCONNECT POWER WHEN SERVICING.

Disconnect the machine from power and

allow the disc 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.

READ and understand this

entiremanualbeforeusing

this machine. Serious per-

sonal injury may occur

if safety and operational

information is not under-

stood and followed. DO

NOT risk your safety by

not reading!

USE this and other machinery with caution

and respect. Always consider safety first,

as it applies to your individual working

conditions. No list of safety guidelines can

be complete—every shop environment is

different. Failure to follow guidelines could

result in serious personal injury, damage

to equipment or poor work results.

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.

k_`jꢀdXelXc%

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.

Machine Placement

Weight Load

Physical Environment

Refer to the Machine Specifications for the

weight of your machine. Make sure that the

surface upon which the machine is placed will

bear the weight of the machine, additional

equipment that may be installed on the

machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will

be used. Additionally, consider the weight of

the operator and any dynamic loading that may

occur when operating the machine.

The physical environment where your machine is

operated is important for safe operation and the

longevity of its components. For best results,

operate this machine in a dry environment

that is free from excessive moisture, hazardous

chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme

conditions. Extreme conditions for this type

of machinery are generally those where the

ambient temperature range exceeds 41°–104°F;

the relative humidity range exceeds 20–95%

(non-condensing); or the environment is subject

to vibration, shocks, or bumps.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that

will be processed through this machine and

provide enough space around the machine

for adequate operator material handling or

the installation of auxiliary equipment. With

permanent installations, leave enough space

around the machine to open or remove doors/

covers as required by the maintenance and

service described in this manual. See below for

required space allocation.

Electrical Installation

Place this machine near an existing power

source. Make sure all power cords are protected

from traffic, material handling, moisture,

chemicals, or other hazards. Make sure to leave

access to a means of disconnecting the power

source or engaging a lockout/tagout device.

Cleaning Machine

To prevent corrosion during shipment and storage of your

machine, the factory has coated the bare metal surfaces

of your machine with a heavy-duty rust prevention

compound.

Gasoline and petroleum

products have low flash

points and can explode

or cause fire if used to

clean machinery. Avoid

using these products

to clean machinery.

Many cleaning solvents

are toxic if inhaled.

Minimize your risk

by only using these

products in a well

ventilated area.

If you are unprepared or impatient, this compound can

be difficult to remove. To ensure that the removal of this

coating is as easy as possible, please gather the correct

cleaner, lubricant, and tools listed below:

•

Cleaner/degreaser designed to remove storage wax

and grease

Safety glasses & disposable gloves

Solvent brush or paint brush

Disposable Rags

•

To remove the rust preventative coating, do these

steps:

NOTICE

In a pinch, automotive degreasers,

mineral spirits or WD•40 can be used

to remove rust preventative coating.

Before using these products, though,

test them on an inconspicuous area of

your paint to make sure they will not

damage it.

1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM POWER.

2. Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.

3. Using a liberal amount of your cleaner/degreaser,

Coat all surfaces that have the coating, and let soak

for few minutes.

4. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser is

effective, the coating will wipe off easily.

Tip: To clean off thick coats of the rust preventative

compound on flat surfaces, use a PLASTIC paint

scraper to scrape off the majority of the coating

before wiping it off with your rag. (Do not use a

metal scraper or you may scratch your machine.)

5. Repeat the cleaning steps as necessary until all of

the compound is removed.

6. To prevent rust on the freshly cleaned surfaces,

immediately coat with a quality metal protectant.

Attaching Sandpaper

The Model W1815 sander accepts 15" diameter adhesive-

backed sanding discs. These are available in a variety of

grits.

The sanding disc sticks to the surface of the cast iron

disc platen, using the pressure-sensitive adhesive backing

(PSA). The sandpaper can be replaced without removing

either the table or the dust port.

To attach sandpaper, do these steps:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Remove the safety guard, peel off the old sandpaper,

clean the disc surface with mineral spirits, and wipe

it dry.

Figure 12. Sandpaper being slipped

between the disc and table.

Disc Sanding

The Model W1815 uses dual-axis miter slot design for

increased versatility of workpiece control.

Always keep the workpiece on the side of the wheel

that is rotating down toward the table. This will

keep the workpiece from flying out of your hands if

kickback occurs.

Figure 13. Example of Y-axis sanding.

Figure 14. Example of X-axis sanding.

Figure 15. Angle sanding.

To reduce the risk of your fingers getting trapped

between the work table and sanding disc, make

sure the table is approximately ³⁄16" away from the

sanding disc.

To use the sanding disc, do these steps:

1. DISCONNECT SANDER FROM POWER!

2. Set the angle of the table and miter gauge for your

operation.

3. Connect the sander to power, turn it ON, and allow

it to reach full speed.

4. Place the workpiece on the work table and firmly

against the miter gauge.

5. With light, but firm pressure, push the workpieece

into the down-spin side of the rotating disc. See

Figures 13—16 for examples of disc sanding.

Note: To prevent burning the workpiece and

overloading the sanding disc, move the workpiece

slowly back and forth from the left side of the

sanding disc to the center.
