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
Standard Machinery Safety Instructions
-7-
Model W1855 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/17)
SAFETY
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.
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.
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.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS.
Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys,
wrenches, or any other tools on machine.
Always verify removal before starting!
INTENDED USAGE.
Only use machine for its
intended purpose—never make modifications
without prior approval from Woodstock
International. Modifying machine or using
it differently than intended will void the
warranty and may result in malfunction or
mechanical failure that leads to serious
personal injury or death!
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.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS.
Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work
area. Stop using machine if they become a
distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS.
Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris—make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly.
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.
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.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk
of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop
before walking away. Never leave machine
running while unattended.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to
keep machine in good working condition. A
machine that is improperly maintained could
malfunction, leading to serious personal injury
or death.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect
machine for any condition that may affect
safe operation. Immediately repair or replace
damaged or mis-adjusted parts 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, resulting
in a short. Do not handle cord/plug with wet
hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away
from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh
chemicals, and wet/damp locations.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the
intended operation, stop using the machine!

SAFETY
Additional Safety for Combo Sanders
Serious injury or death can occur if fingers, clothing, jewelry, or hair get entangled in moving
components. Impact injuries can occur from kickback if workpiece is improperly fed into moving
sandpaper. Serious pinch injuries can occur from touching in-running nip point between table and
sanding surface. Long-term respiratory damage can occur from using sander without proper use
of a respirator. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely
heed the hazards and warnings below.
SANDPAPER CONDITION. Worn or damaged sand-
paper can aggressively grab workpiece, result-
ing in subsequent injuries from operator loss of
workpiece control. Always inspect sandpaper
before operation and replace if worn or dam-
aged.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT & HAND PLACEMENT.
Rotating sandpaper can remove a large amount
of flesh quickly, and kickback can occur with
violent force if workpiece is not properly sup-
ported during operation. Always sand with
workpiece firmly against table or another sup-
port device. Never touch moving sandpaper on
purpose.
IN-RUNNING NIP POINTS. The gap between mov-
ing sandpaper and fixed table/support cre-
ates a pinch point for fingers or workpieces;
the larger this gap is, the greater the risk
of fingers or workpieces getting caught in it.
Minimize this risk by adjusting table/support to
no more than 1⁄16" away from sandpaper. For
spindle sanders, always use the table insert
that fits closest diameter of installed drum.
MINIMUM STOCK DIMENSION. Small workpieces
can be aggressively pulled from your hands,
causing contact with sanding surface. Always
use a jig or other holding device when sanding
small workpieces, and keep hands and fingers
at least 2" away from sanding surface.
WORKPIECE INSPECTION. Nails, staples, knots,
or other imperfections in workpiece can be
dislodged and thrown from sander at a high
rate of speed at people, or cause damage to
sandpaper or sander. Never sand stock that
has embedded foreign objects or questionable
imperfections.
SANDPAPER DIRECTION. Feeding workpiece
incorrectly can cause it to be thrown from
machine, striking operator or bystanders, or
causing your hands to slip into the moving
sandpaper. To reduce these risks, only sand
against direction of sandpaper travel, ensure
workpiece is properly supported, and avoid
introducing sharp edges into moving sandpa-
per on leading side of workpiece.
FEEDING WORKPIECE. Jamming workpiece into
sanding surface could cause it to be grabbed
aggressively, pulling hands into sanding sur-
face. Firmly grasp workpiece in both hands and
ease it into sandpaper using light pressure.
AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Entanglment in mov-
ing parts can cause pinching and crushing inju-
ries. Keep all guards in place and closed. DO
NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry,
and tie back long hair.
SANDING DUST. Sanding creates large amounts of
dust that can lead to eye injury or respiratory
illness. Reduce risk by wearing approved eye
and respiratory protection when using sander.
Never operate without adequate dust collec-
tion system in place and running. Dust collec-
tion is not a substitute for using a respirator.
WORKPIECE INTEGRITY. Sanding fragile work-
pieces can result in loss of control, resulting
in abrasion injuries, impact injuries, or dam-
age to sandpaper. Only sand solid workpieces
that can withstand power sanding forces. Make
sure workpiece shape is properly supported;
avoid sanding workpieces without flat bot-
tom surfaces unless some type of jig is used
to maintain support and control when sanding
force is applied.

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 Requirements for 120V
This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply
circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following
requirements:
Circuit Type ............... 110V/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 ................. 4.3 Amps
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 so later in
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 with an electrician
to ensure that the circuit is properly
sized for safe operation.
-10-
Model W1855 (For Machines Mfd. Since 6/17)
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.

DO NOT modify the provided plug or
use an adapter if the plug will not
fit the receptacle. Instead, have an
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 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 ................................. 14 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) ................50 ft.
For 120V Connection
This machine is equipped with a power cord with an
equipment-grounding
wire and NE M A 5-15 grounding
plug
(see figure). The plug must only be inserted into
a matching
receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

SETUP
Cleaning MachineMachine Placement
Workbench Load
Refer to the Machine Specifications for the
weight and footprint specifications of your
machine. Some workbenches may require
additional reinforcement to support the weight
of the machine and workpiece materials.
Consider anticipated workpiece sizes and
additional space needed for auxiliary stands,
work tables, or other machinery when
establishing a location for this machine in the
shop. Below is the minimum amount of space
needed for the machine.
Placement Location
INJURY HAZARD! Untrained
users can injure themselves
with this machine. Restrict
access to machine when
you are away, especially if
it is installed where chil-
dren are present.
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but
it will take a little time to clean.
Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper
care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.
There are many ways to remove this rust
preventative, but the following steps work well
in a wide variety of situations. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions with any cleaning
product you use and make sure you work in a
well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to
toxic fumes.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
• Disposable rags
• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)
• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
• Plastic paint scraper (optional)
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1.
Put on safety glasses.
2.
Coat the rust preventative with a liberal
amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it
soak for 5–10 minutes.
3.
Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/
degreaser is effective, the rust
preventative will wipe off easily. If you
have a plastic paint scraper, scrape off as
much as you can first, then wipe off the
rest with the rag.
4.
Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a
quality metal protectant to prevent rust.
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may
damage painted surfaces.

The base of this machine has mounting holes that allow it
to be fastened to a workbench or other mounting surface
to prevent it from moving during operation and causing
accidental injury or damage.
The strongest mounting option is a “Through Mount” (see
example) where holes are drilled all the way through the
workbench—and hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are
used to secure the machine in place.
Another option is a “Direct Mount” (see example) where
the machine is secured directly to the workbench with lag
screws and washers.

Figure 9. Installing work table.
Before beginning the assembly process, refer to Items
Needed for Setup
and gather everything you need.
Ensure all parts have been properly cleaned of the
heavy-duty rust-preventative applied at the factory, if
applicable. Be sure to complete all steps in the assembly
procedure prior to performing the Test Run.
To assemble machine, do these steps:
1. Attach sandpaper disc to aluminium disc (see
Changing/Replacing Sandpaper Disc on Page 23).
2. Mount disc cover to holes in sander body near
bottom of aluminium disc, using (2) M4 x 10 tap
screws, as shown in Figure 8.
3. Install 6mm fender washer on table lock knob, as
shown in Figure 9.
4. Insert work table index pin into upper hole on sander
base (see Figure 9).
5. Insert threaded end of table lock knob through slot
in work table and into threaded hole in sander body.
6. Set work table at desired angle and tighten table
lock knob.
7. Insert (2) M8-1.25 x 16 cap screws with (2) 8mm flat
washers through slot in backstop and thread into
mounting holes in sander body (see Figure 10).
Note: Do not fully tighten cap screws yet.
8. Use a square to position backstop perpendicular
to sanding belt, with a gap of approximately
1
⁄8"
between backstop and belt, then tighten cap screws
from Step 7 (see Figure 11).

To connect a dust collection hose, do these steps:
1. Fit 2
1
⁄2" dust hose over dust port, as shown in Figure
12, and secure in place with hose clamp.
2. Tug hose to make sure it does not come off.
Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating
of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust
port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of
the dust collector, (2) hose type and length between the
dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout
the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables
is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or
purchase a good dust collection “how-to” book.
This machine creates substantial amounts of dust
during operation. Breathing airborne dust on a regu-
lar basis can result in permanent respiratory illness.
Reduce your risk by wearing a respirator and captur-
ing the dust with a dust collection system.

OPERATIONS
OPERATIONS
General
This machine will perform many types of operations
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these
operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed
incorrectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the
understanding that the operator has the necessary
knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at any
time you are experiencing difficulties performing any
operation, stop using the machine!
The overview below provides the novice machine operator
with a basic understanding of how the machine is used
during operation, so the machine controls/components
discussed later in this manual are easier to understand.
Due to its generic nature, this overview is
NOT intended
to be an instructional guide.
To reduce your risk of serious injury
or damage to the machine, read this
entire manual BEFORE using machine.
To reduce the risk of eye injury and
long-term respiratory damage, always
wear safety glasses and a respirator
while operating this machine.
This combination sander removes surface material from the
edges, ends, and faces of wood stock using an abrasive belt
and disc. A steel platen on the sanding belt frame provides
a flat support surface for the sanding belt and workpiece.
The abrasive belt revolves around a pair of rollers, one of
which is driven by the motor. The adhesive-backed abrasive
disc is attached to an aluminum disc, which revolves in a
counterclockwise direction.
During a typical operation, the sander is turned ON, and
while holding the workpiece with both hands, the operator
gradually eases the workpiece into the belt or the left side
of the sanding disc.
If you are an inexperienced operator,
we strongly recommend that you read
books or trade articles, or seek training
from an experienced operator of this
type of machinery before performing
unfamiliar operations. Above all, safety
must come first!
