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 W1843 (For Machines Mfd. Since 3/17)

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

SAFETY

Additional Safety for Belt Sanders

Serious injury or death can occur from fingers, clothing, jewelry, or hair getting entangled in

moving

belt, spindle, or other components. Abrasion injuries can occur from touching moving

sandpaper with bare skin. Incorrect feeding of workpiece can lead to workpiece being thrown and

striking operator or bystanders with enough force to cause impact injuries. Long-term respiratory

damage can occur from using sander without proper use of a respirator. To reduce the risk of these

hazards, operator or bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

WORKPIECE INSPECTION. Nails, staples, knots, or

other imperfections in workpiece can be dis-

lodged 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 CONDITION. Worn or damaged sand-

paper can fly apart and throw debris at opera-

tor, or aggressively grab workpiece, resulting in

subsequent injuries from operator loss of work-

piece control. Always inspect sandpaper before

operation and replace if worn or damaged.

IN-RUNNING NIP POINTS. The gap between mov-

ing sandpaper and fixed table/support creates

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

⁄16"

away from sandpaper. For spindle sanders,

always use the table insert that fits closest

diameter of installed drum.

WORKPIECE INTEGRITY. Sanding fragile work-

pieces can result in loss of control, resulting in

abrasion injuries, impact injuries, or damage

to sandpaper. Only sand solid workpieces that

can withstand power sanding forces. Make sure

workpiece shape is properly supported; avoid

sanding workpieces without flat bottom sur-

faces unless a jig is used to maintain support

and control when sanding force is applied.

SANDING DUST. Sanding creates large amounts of

dust that can lead to eye injury or respiratory

illness. Reduce your risk by always wearing

approved eye and respiratory protection when

using sander. Never operate without adequate

dust collection system in place and running.

Howe ver, dust collection is not a substitute for

using a respirator.

SANDPAPER DIRECTION. Feeding workpiece incor-

rectly 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 prop-

erly supported, and avoid introducing sharp

edges into moving sandpaper on the leading

side of the workpiece.

HAND PLACEMENT. Rotating sandpaper can

remove a large amount of flesh quickly. Always

keep hands away from sandpaper during opera-

tion. Never touch moving sandpaper on pur-

pose. Use a brush to clean table of sawdust

and chips.

FEEDING WORKPIECE. Forcefully jamming work-

piece into sanding surface could cause it to be

grabbed aggressively, pulling hands into sanding

surface. Firmly grasp workpiece in both hands

and ease it into sandpaper using light pressure.

AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Becoming entangled

in moving parts can cause pinching and crush-

ing injuries. To avoid these hazards, keep all

guards in place and closed. DO NOT wear loose

clothing, gloves, or jewelry, and tie back long

hair.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Workpiece kickback can

occur with violent force if workpiece is not

properly supported during operation. Always

sand with workpiece firmly against table or

another support device.

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.

Model W1843 (For Machines Mfd. Since 3/17)

ELECTRICAL

Additional Safety for Buffing Systems

Serious injury or death can occur from fingers, clothing, jewelry, or hair getting entangled in rotat-

ing buffing wheel, spindle, or other moving components. Workpieces thrown by buffing surface can

strike operator or bystanders with moderate force, causing impact injuries. Long-term respiratory

damage can occur from using machine without proper use of a respirator. To reduce the risk of

these hazards, operator or bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

HAND/WHEEL CONTACT. Never purposely touch

moving buffing wheel or shaft. Take care to

keep fingers away from buffing wheel during

operations. If the workpiece is small or dif-

ficult to hold, use a workpiece holding fixture.

Abrasives can quickly remove large amounts

of skin!

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 buffing. Make sure you know

what type of wood dust you will be exposed

to in case there is a possibility of an allergic

reaction.

AVOID KICKBACK. Avoid kickback by buffing in

accordance with directional arrows. Always

buff on the downward side of the wheel—pay

close attention to the direction of wheel rota-

tion to avoid placing the workpiece against the

upward side of the buffing wheel. Avoid buff-

ing with excessive force.

WORKPIECE SELECTION. Always inspect the con-

dition of your workpiece. DO NOT buff pieces

with loose knots, large splinters, protruding

nails, or other objects with sharp edges. DO

NOT buff cable, chain, or other irregularly

shaped objects that may be grabbed by the

buffing wheel and thrown at the operator.

WORKPIECE FEED. Allow the wheel to reach full

speed, then slowly ease the workpiece into

the buffing wheel, holding it in front of and

slightly below the wheel center. DO NOT buff

workpiece on the top or sides of the buffing

wheel. DO NOT place an edge or corner of the

workpiece against the buffing wheel or jam it

against the wheel. The workpiece may eject

toward the operator or be torn from the oper-

ator's hands, causing serious personal injury.

WORKPIECE CONTROL. If you cannot hold small

workpieces securely, do not buff them with

this machine. Hold them with clamps or similar

jigs, or use a smaller buffer.

DISCONNECT POWER WHEN SERVICING.

Disconnect the machine from power and

allow the wheel 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.

AVOID ENTANGLEMENT. Tie back long hair and

remove any loose-fitting clothing or jewelry

that could be caught up in the buffing wheel

or other moving machine parts. Avoid wearing

gloves as they may get caught in the buffing

wheel and cause entanglement injuries.

MOUNTING TO BENCH/STAND.

An unsecured

buffer may become dangerously out of control

during operation. Make sure buffer is FIRMLY

secured to a bench/stand before use.

CORRECT ACCESSORIES AND USE. Never install

a grinding wheel on this buffer. It is only

designed for buffing and polishing. Never

exceed maximum speed listed on each buff-

ing/polishing wheel.

OPERATOR POSITION.

Do not stand directly in

front of the buffer wheel when turning the

machine on, or when buffing. Do not buff

material from the rear of the machine.

AVOID WORKPIECE GRAB.

Firmly support the

workpiece against the rotation direction of the

buffing wheel. Otherwise, the buffing wheel

could grab the workpiece and pull your hands

into the moving wheel.

Model W1843 (For Machines Mfd. Since 3/17)

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 110V

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 ............................................. 20 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 110V .................. 14 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.

-11-

Model W1843 (For Machines Mfd. Since 3/17)

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

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 at 110V ...................... 14 AWG

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

For 110V 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.

Inventory

Figure 3. Machine inventory.

The following is a list of items shipped with your machine.

Before beginning setup, lay these items out and inventory

them.

Note:

If you cannot find an item on this list, carefully

check around/inside the machine and packaging materials.

Often, these items get lost in packaging materials while

unpacking or they are pre-installed at the factory.

SUFFOCATION HAZARD!

Immediately discard all

plastic bags and packing

materials to eliminate

choking/suffocation

hazards for children and

animals.

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:

Put on safety glasses.

Coat the rust preventative with a liberal

amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it

soak for 5–10 minutes.

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.

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.

Another option is a “Direct Mount” (see example) where

the machine is secured directly to the workbench with lag

screws and washers.

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.

SETUP

Assembly

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. Slide the mounting adapter onto the right-hand arbor

of the motor assembly with the countersunk holes

facing out, then rotate it so that the flat edge is at

the 10 o'clock position, as shown in Figure 7.

2. Secure the adapter to the motor assembly with (3)

⁄4"-20 x

⁄2" cap screws (see Figure 7).

3. Back out the (3) cap screws and (4) set screws

in the pivot arm mounting bracket and the pivot

arm bracket, then slide the pivot arm bracket

onto the pivot arm mounting bracket, as shown in

Figures 8–9.

Note: The pivot arm bracket bushing is shipped with

a lubricating grease coating on its outer surface.

This lubricant will keep the motion of the pivot arm

smooth during operation and reduce the wear on the

metal-to-metal surfaces.

4. For now, finger-tighten the three cap screws enough

to hold the two brackets together. You will fully

tighten these fasteners in a later step.

Note: Make sure the four set screws DO NOT make

contact with the opposite bracket.

SETUP

5. Slide the assembled arm brackets onto the right-

hand arbor with the arm bracket bushing facing

out, as shown in Figure 10, then secure it with the

remaining (3)

⁄4"-20 x

⁄2" cap screws.

6. Move the machine to the selected mounting surface,

and use the eight holes in the base of the motor

assembly and the pivot arm bracket assembly as a

template for drilling the mounting holes.

7. Loosen the three cap screws of the pivot arm

bracket assembly (see Figures 8–9 on Page 17),

then use the mounting hardware you have chosen to

firmly secure the motor assembly and the bracket

assembly in place.

Note: Before fully tightening the mounting

hardware, make sure that the three cap screws and

four set screws of the arm bracket assembly are

loose. This will allow the mounting bracket to lay

flat on the mounting surface.

8. Tighten the four set screws in the pivot arm bracket

assembly (see Figures 8–9 on Page 17) just until you

feel resistance. This will keep the two parts of the

assembly stable during operation.

9. Fully tighten the three cap screws on the pivot arm

bracket assembly.

10. Back out the two set screws in the round end of the

pivot arm, slide the arm onto the bracket bushing so

that the platen bracket cap screws are facing to the

right, as shown in Figure 11, then tighten the set

screws to hold the pivot arm in place.

Note: The pivot arm and bushing are designed so

that the set screws tighten into the grooved surface

of the bushing. This keeps the pivot arm from

sliding off the bushing when using the tilt feature.
