Model W1831 (For Machines Mfg. Since 2/12)
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 loss
of workpiece control.
FORCING.MACHINERY..Do not force machine. It
will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
NEVER.STAND.ON.MACHINE..Serious injury may
occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
HAZARDOUS.DUST..Dust created while using
machinery may cause cancer, birth defects,
or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of
dust hazards associated with each workpiece
material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator to reduce your risk.
STABLE.MACHINE..Unexpected movement during
operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine
is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE.RECOMMENDED.ACCESSORIES..Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for
recommended accessories. Using improper
accessories will increase risk of serious injury.
HEARING.PROTECTION..Always wear hearing
protection when operating or observing
loud machinery. Extended exposure to this

Model W1831 (For Machines Mfg. Since 2/12)
Additional.Safety.for.Sanders
FEED.RATE..Never jam a workpiece against the
sanding surface. This can cause the workpiece
to kick back or damage the machine. Firmly
hold the workpiece and ease it against the
spindle using light pressure.
DUST.COLLECTION..Never operate the sander
without an adequate dust collection system
in place and running. Proper dust collection
reduces dust in the work area, which decreases
the risk of long-term respiratory damage.
AVOIDING.ENTANGLEMENT..Keep loose clothing
articles such as sleeves, belts or jewelry items
away from the spindle. These items could get
entangled in the spindle, resulting in serious
personal injury. Never wear gloves when
operating the spindle sander.
DIRECTION..Never sand tapered or pointed stock
with the point facing the feed direction to
avoid the workpiece being thrown from the
machine.
POWER.DISCONNECT..Disconnect the machine
from the power source before changing the
sanding sleeve to avoid injuries in the event of
an accidental startup.
HAND.PLACEMENT. Do not place hands near, or in
contact with, sanding surfaces during operation
to avoid personal injury.
RESPIRATOR.USE..Always use a respirator that
is approved for wood dust when using this
machine to reduce the risk of short and long
term respiratory illness. A dust collector is not
an adequate substitute.
WORKPIECE.HANDLING..Hold the workpiece
with both hands to maintain control while
sanding (or use an appropriate holding jig)
to reduce the likelihood of losing control of
the workpiece and having it thrown from the
machine.
TABLE.INSERTS..Always use the table insert that
fits closest to the diameter of the installed
sanding drum. A pinch hazard exists from the
gap between the table and the oscillating
drum. Keeping this gap as small as possible
reduces the risk of this hazard.
SANDING.SLEEVES..Worn or damaged sanding
sleeves can tear apart and become entangled
in the spindle or be thrown from the machine,
resulting in personal injury or property
damage. Replace sanding sleeves as required.
FOREIGN.MATERIAL..Always inspect stock for
nails, staples, knots, and other imperfections
that could be dislodged and thrown from the
machine during sanding operations.

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 an electrician or qualified service
personnel should do any required
electrical work on this machine.

Polarized.Plug
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this machine has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, turn it 180 degrees and try
again. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electri-
cian to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug
in any way.
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.

training from an experienced Sander operator before
performing any unfamiliar operations. Above.all,.your.
safety.should.come.first!
Disabling.Switch
The switch can be disabled by removing the key,
as shown in the following figure. Disabling the switch in
this manner can prevent unauthorized operation of the
machine, which is important if it is not kept inside an
access-restricted building or in a location where children
may be present.
Disabling the switch only restricts its function. It is
not a substitute for disconnecting the machine from
power when adjusting or servicing.

To ensure the workpiece is supported during sanding opera-
tions, use the table insert that matches the corresponding
drum and sleeve (see Figure 11). It is important to keep
the gap between the table insert and drum as small as
possible to reduce the risk of a pinch hazard.

ous.personal.injury.may.occur.
Changing.Motor.Brushes
This sander has a permanent magnet motor that uses car-
bon brushes for operation. These brushes normally wear
out over time and eventually need to be replaced.
Symptoms indicating that the brushes have worn beyond
their usable life may include a loss of power, inconsistent
operation of the motor (motor cuts in and out inexplicably),
or an inability of the motor to start.
If you are having trouble with the performance of the
motor, first refer to Troubleshooting on Page 22 to deter-
mine if the motor brushes must be replaced.
Locating
Prong
A pair of new brushes can be purchased from your Shop Fox
dealer by requesting part #W1831033A. The replacement
procedure can usually be done in about 15 minutes. When
replacing the brushes, we recommend replacing them one
at a time so you can keep track of which wire connects to
each brush.
Wire Prong
Figure 15. Motor brush assembly.
Please note: The brush assemblies have locating prongs
(see Figure 15) that insert into the motor to hold the brush
housing in position. Take care when removing the brush
assemblies to pull them out first instead of just up.
