-11- The following is a description of the components shipped with the Shop Fox ® W1676. It is recom- mended that the components be laid out in a sim- ilar fashion to those in Figures 7 and 8 . This will help in identification before beginning assembly. Should any part be missing, examine the packag- ing carefully. If any key parts are missing, ca[...]

-12- Clean Up Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents. They have low flash points which make them extremely flamma- ble. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used. Serious personal injury may occur if this warning is ignored. Do not smoke while using solvents. A risk of explo- sion or fire exists and may result[...]

-13- General While the main components of the Shop Fox ® W1676 are assembled at the factory, some assembly is required. The following is the rec- ommended sequence best suited for final assembly. TOOLS REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED): You will need a 6" adjustable wrench, 12mm open-end wrench, flathead screwdriver, Phillips ® screw- driver and 4mm A[...]

-14- Sanding Unit To Base The Model W1676 comes with a prefabricated welded steel stand that requires no assembly. However, the sanding unit needs to be mounted to the stand. 1. With the help of a friend, lift the main sand- ing unit on top of the steel stand. 2. Align the four mounting holes in the stand with the slots on the bottom corners of the[...]

-15- Back Stop The back stop serves as a resting point for the workpiece while flat sanding on the belt. Install the back stop to the sanding belt frame using a 5 ⁄ 16 "-18 x 1" hex bolt and a 5 ⁄ 16 " flat washer as shown in Figure 12. The back stop can be removed when sanding long workpieces. Dust Ports The dust ports are desig[...]

-16- Working Table The working table has two mounting locations: next to the sanding disc and next to the verti- cally positioned belt sander. We recommend ini- tially mounting the working table next to the disc. If you want to mount it next to the verti- cally positioned belt sander, skip to the “Vertical Positioning” instructions in the Adjus[...]

-17- ADJUSTMENTS General The Model W1676 is capable of a wide variety of sanding operations. The sanding belt can be positioned in a variety of angles ranging from 0- 90° and can accommodate the working table in the vertical position. The sanding disc can accommodate the working table at a variety of angles ranging from 0-45°. In all, the Model W[...]

-18- Belt Tracking/Tension Belt tension and tracking are crucial to the per- formance of the belt sander. Too much tension will cause undue stress on the bearings and other parts. Too little tension will cause the sanding belt to not track properly and fall off the sanding belt frame. It is better to have the least amount of tension required to mak[...]

-19- Belt Tracking/Tension Continued Gauging proper belt tension is very subjective. The easiest way to check the tension is to pluck the edge of the sanding belt. If it sounds like a drum, the tension is probably too tight. To adjust the tension: 1. With the belt installed and the quick release lever engaged, loosen the hex bolt located at the piv[...]

-20- Vertical Positioning The belt sander arm can be moved to a vertical arrangement. 1. Remove the belt dust port. 2. Loosen the two nuts located on the bracket behind the pulley cover as shown in Figure 23. We recommend using a 12mm open-end wrench for clearance purposes. 3. When the nuts are loose, rotate the sanding belt frame to the vertical p[...]

-21- Changing Abrasive Disc To replace abrasive sanding disc: 1. Remove the working table assembly. 2. Remove the knob holding the pulley cover door shut and open the door as shown in Figure 26. 3. Remove the worn sanding disc and the new sanding disc. Be sure to center the new sand- ing disc over the cast iron disc before press- ing it down as sho[...]

Set the working table angle to the 90° mark on the scale. 2. Using a 90° square, adjust the working table so it is perpendicular to the sanding disc as shown in Figure 29. 3. Loo[...]

-23- OPERATIONS Testing Once assembly is complete and adjustments have been made, the machine is ready for a test run. The purpose of a test run is to identify any unusual noises and vibrations, as well as to con- firm the machine is performing as intended. 1. Turn the machine on by pulling the START paddle on the power switch. Be sure to have your[...]

-24- Horizontal Sanding 1. Turn the power on and allow the sander to reach full speed. 2. Place the workpiece against the surface of the sanding belt. Make sure you have both hands securely on the workpiece and keep fingers and hands away from sanding surface as shown in Figure 32. 3. Use the back stop to prevent the workpiece from being propelled [...]

-25- Disc Sanding The disc is best used for sanding end grain and convex curves. 1. Set the working table to the desired angle. 2. Always use the left half of the disc. (The half that is rotating downward.) 3. Set the miter gauge at 90° to keep the work- piece perpendicular to the sanding disc as shown in Figure 35. 4. Varying angles can be sanded[...]

-26- MAINTENANCE Lubrication Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them. For other items on this machine, an occasional application of light machine oil is all that is nec- essary. Before applying lubricant, wipe the machine clean. Your goal is to achieve a[...]
