Standard Machinery Safety Instructions

For Your Own Safety,

Read Manual Before Operating Machine

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!

Safety Instructions for Machinery

SAFETY

-3-

Model W1686 (Mfg. Since 11/10)

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!

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!

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult

this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for

recommended accessories. Using improper

accessories will increase the risk of serious

injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and

bystanders a safe distance away from work

area. Stop using machine if children or

bystanders become a distraction.

REMOVE 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

improperly maintained machine may increase

the risk of serious injury.

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.

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.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you

are experiencing difficulties performing the

Additional Safety Instructions for

Spindle 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.

AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Keep loose cloth-

ing articles such as sleeves, belts or jew-

elry 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.

HAND PLACEMENT. Do not place hands near,

or in contact with, sanding surfaces dur-

ing operation to avoid personal injury.

WORKPIECE HANDLING. Hold the workpiece

with both hands, or use the appropri-

ate jig to reduce the likelihood of

the workpiece being thrown from the

machine.

DIRECTION. Never sand tapered or pointed

stock with the point facing the feed

direction to avoid the workpiece being

thrown from the machine.

FOREIGN MATERIAL. Always inspect stock for

nails, staples, knots, and other imperfec-

tions that could be dislodged and thrown

from the machine during sanding opera-

tions.

DUST COLLECTION. Never operate the sander

without an adequate dust collection sys-

tem in place and running to reduce dust

in the work area.

SANDING SLEEVES. Worn or damaged sanding

sleeves can tear apart and become entan-

gled in the spindle or be thrown from the

machine, resulting in personal injury or

property damage. Replace sanding sleeves

as required.

POWER DISCONNECT. Disconnect the machine

from the power source before chang-

ing the sanding sleeve to avoid possible

machine startup.

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 col-

lector is not an adequate substitute.

Like all power tools, there is danger asso-

ciated with the Model W1686 Oscillating

Spindle Sander. Accidents are frequently

caused by lack of familiarity or failure to

pay attention. Use this tool with respect and

caution to lessen the possibility of opera-

tor injury. If normal safety precautions are

overlooked or ignored, serious personal

injury may occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete.

Every shop environment is different. Always

consider safety first, as it applies to your

individual working conditions. Use this and

other machinery with caution and respect.

Failure to follow guidelines could result in

serious personal injury, damage to equip-

ment or poor work results.

Power Supply

Availability

Before installing this machine, consider the

availability and proximity of the required power

supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not

meet the requirements for this machine, a new

circuit must be installed to minimize the risk

of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage,

installation work and electrical wiring must be

done by a qualified electrician in accordance with

all applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, or equipment

damage may occur if the machine

is not correctly grounded and

connected to the power supply.

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 @ 120V ........ 12 Amps

Full Load Current Rating @ 240V ..........6 Amps

The full-load current is not the maximum amount

of amps that the machine will draw. If the

machine is overloaded, it will draw additional

amps beyond the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length

of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—

especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To

reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading

the machine during operation and make sure it is

connected to a power supply circuit that meets

the requirements in the following section.

Circuit Information

A power supply circuit includes all electrical

equipment between the main breaker box or fuse

panel in your building and the incoming power

connections at the machine. This circuit must be

sized to safely handle the full-load current drawn

from the machine for an extended period of time.

For your own safety and protection of property,

consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure

about wiring practices or electrical codes in

your area.

Note: 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 Requirements for 120V

This machine is prewired to operate on a 120V

power supply circuit that has a verified ground and

meets the following requirements:

Nominal Voltage .......................... 110V/120V

Cycle ...............................................60 Hz

Phase ..................................... Single-Phase

Circuit Rating ................................ 15 Amps

Plug/Receptacle .......................... NEMA 5-15

Circuit Requirements for 240V

This machine can be converted to operate on a

240V power supply. The intended 240V circuit must

have a verified ground and meet the following

requirements:

Nominal Voltage .......................... 220V/240V

Cycle ...............................................60 Hz

Phase ..................................... Single-Phase

Circuit Rating ................................ 15 Amps

Plug/Receptacle .......................... NEMA 6-15

Model W1686 (Mfg. Since 11/10)

Grounding Requirements

In the event of certain types of malfunctions or

breakdowns, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current—in order to reduce

the risk of electric shock.

For 120V Operation: This machine is equipped

with a power cord that has an equipment-

grounding wire and a grounding plug (similar to

the figure below). The plug must only be inserted

into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

For 240V Operation: The plug specified

under "Circuit Requirements for 240V on the

previous page ha a grounding prong that must

be attached to the equipment-grounding wire

inside the included power cord. The plug must

only be inserted into a matching receptacle (see

below) that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Serious injury could occur if you connect

the machine to power before completing the

setup process. DO NOT connect to power until

instructed later in this manual.

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

is grounded and meets the requirements for this

machine.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The

wire with green insulation (with or 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.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord

with this machine. If you must use an extension

cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only

on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may

damage electrical components and shorten motor

life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord

size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller

(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 ........................ 12 AWG

Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) .......50 ft.

12. Do not force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was designed.

13. Use correct tool. Do not force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

14. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, keep long hair tied up,

etc.

15. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check that

all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed.

16. Use proper extension cord. Examine the extension cord to ensure it is in good condition. Use the

chart below to determine the correct length and gauge of extension cord needed for your particular

needs. The amp rating of the motor can be found on its nameplate. If the motor is dual voltage, be

sure to use the amp rating for the voltage you will be using. If you use an extension cord with an

undersized gauge or one that is too long, excessive heat will be generated within the circuit increas-

ing the chance of a fire or damage to the circuit. Never use an extension cord that does not have a

ground pin and connected ground wire. Immediately replace an extension cord if it shows any signs

of damage.

17. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

18. Do not leave machine unattended. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the area.

19. Perform machine maintenance and care. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions

in the manual.

20. Keep machine away from open flame. Operating machines near pilot lights and/or open flames cre-

ates a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause an

tioned above.

21. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the

machine! Then contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should

be performed.

Operating this equipment has the potential

for flying debris to cause eye injury. Always

wear safety glasses or goggles when operat-

ing equipment. Everyday glasses or reading

glasses only have impact resistant lenses,

they are not safety glasses. Be certain the

safety glasses you wear meet the appropri-

ate standards of the American National

Standards Institute (ANSI).

Use this and other machinery with caution

and respect and always consider safety

first, as it applies to your individual working

conditions. Remember, no list of safety

guidelines can be complete and every shop

environment is different. Failure to follow

guidelines can result in serious personal

injury, damage to equipment and/or poor

work results.

Read and understand this

entire instruction manual

before using this machine.

Serious personal injury may

occur if safety and opera-

tional information is not

understood and followed.

Do not risk your safety by

not reading!

Extension Cords

When it is necessary to use an extension cord,

use the following guidelines:

• Use cords rated for Hard Service

• Never exceed a length of 100 feet

• Use cords with 14 ga. wire or bigger

(12 ga., 10 ga., etc.)

• Ensure cord has a ground wire and pin

• Do not use cords in need of repair

Grounding

This machine must be grounded! The electrical

plug supplied with the Model W1686 comes with

a grounding pin as shown in Figure 1. Do not

remove it. If your receptacle does not accom-

modate a ground pin, have it replaced by a qual-

ified electrician or have an appropriate adapter

installed. Please note: when using an adapter,

the adapter must be grounded. An adapter with

a grounding wire does not guarantee the

machine will be grounded. A ground source must

be verified.

110V Operation

The SHOP FOX

W1686 is prewired for 110 volts.

The motor supplied with your new machine is

rated at 1 HP and will draw approximately 14

amps. When choosing a circuit for this machine,

consider using one with a 15 amp circuit break-

er or fuse. Keep in mind that a circuit being used

by other machines or tools at the same time will

add to the electrical load being applied by the

machine. Add up the load ratings of all machines

on the circuit. If this number exceeds the rating

of the circuit wires or circuit breaker/fuse, use

a different circuit.

Verify that your current household circuit wiring

is capable of handling the current load of this

machine. A qualified electrician may need to

install a new circuit with wiring capable of han-

dling a 14 amperage draw. Do not attempt to

modify an existing circuit by replacing the cir-

cuit breaker with one rated for a higher amper-

age.

Any electrical outlet and cir-

cuit that you plug your

machine into must be

grounded. Never remove

the grounding pin from any

plug and always make sure

all wiring to the machine is

grounded before operating.

Serious injury make occur if

this warning is ignored!

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord

with 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the

placement of your machinery and installed

wiring to eliminate the need for extension

cords. If you must use an extension cord, make

sure it is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better.

The extension cord must always contain a

ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or

replace extension cords when they become

worn or damaged.

Grounding

This machine must be grounded! The electrical

cord supplied with the Model W1686 does not

come with a 220 volt plug. Use a plug with a

ground pin as shown in Figure 2. If your recep-

tacle does not accommodate a ground pin, have

it replaced by a qualified electrician or have an

appropriate adapter installed and grounded

properly. An adapter with a grounding wire

does not guarantee the machine will be ground-

ed. A ground source must be verified.

220V Operation

The SHOP FOX

W1686 can also be operated at

220 volts. To do this, consult with the wiring

diagram in the back of this manual. Also, you

will need a NEMA-style 6-15 plug and recepta-

cle as shown in Figure 2.

The motor supplied with your new machine is

rated at 1 HP and will draw approximately 7

amps during 220 volt operation. When choosing

a circuit for this machine, consider using one

with a 10 amp double-pole circuit breaker or

fuse. Keep in mind that a circuit being used by

other machines or tools at the same time will

add to the total load being applied to the cir-

cuit. Add up the load ratings of all machines on

the circuit. If this number exceeds the rating of

the circuit wires or circuit breaker/fuse, use a

different circuit.

NOTICE

Never replace the circuit breaker with one

rated at a higher amperage or damage to the

circuit may occur.

Any electrical outlet and cir-

cuit that you plug your

machine into must be

grounded. Never remove

the grounding pin from any

plug and always make sure

all wiring to the machine is

grounded before operating.

Clean Up

The exposed, unpainted surfaces of the machine

have been coated with an oil to prevent rust

during shipment. This oil needs to be removed

before operation. Use a solvent based degreaser

to remove the oil.

Never use flammables

such as gas or other petro-

leum-based solvents to

clean your machine.

These products have low

flash points and present

the risk of explosion and

severe personal injury!

Most solvents used to

clean machinery are

toxic when inhaled or

ingested. When using

these products, work in

a well ventilated area

and keep away from any

potential ignition

sources (pilot lights).

Always dispose of any

waste rags in a sealed

container to make sure

they do not cause fire or

environmental hazards.

Never smoke while using

any cleaning solvents.

Smoking may cause explo-

sion or risk of fire when

exposed to these products!

NOTICE

Avoid using any chlorine based solutions

because they will damage the painted sur-

faces. Always follow the instruction of the

product being used.
