Shop Preparation
• Floor Load and Balance:
Your sander
represents a large weight load in a small
footprint. Most commercial floors are
suitable for the sander. Some residential
floors may require additional bracing to
support both machine and operator. Make
sure the sander operates on a level
surface by placing a level gauge on the
conveyor table and using a wrench to
adjust the feet until the machine is level.
• Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through each machine, and
space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a
location for your sander.
• Lighting and Outlets:
Lighting should be
bright enough to eliminate shadows and
prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits
should be dedicated or large enough to
handle amperage requirements. Outlets
should be located near each machine so
any power or extension cords are clear of
high-traffic areas. Observe local electrical
codes for proper installation of new
lighting, outlets, or circuits.
Cleaning Machine
The upper roller of the Model W1709 is coated
with a waxy grease that protects it from
corrosion during shipment.
This coating must
be removed before using your sander
.
Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or
citrus-based degreaser. Do not use chlorine-
based solvents—if you happen to splash some
onto a painted surface, you will ruin the finish.
MAKE SURE that all
entrances to your shop are
locked or that machines
are equipped with safety
lock-out devices to protect
curious children or visitors
from serious injury. Never
allow unsupervised people
in your shop who have not
been fully trained!
NEVER use flammables
such as gas or other
petroleum-based solvents
to clean your machine.
These products have low
flash points and present
the risk of explosion and
severe personal injury!
NEVER smoke when using
solvents. Smoking may
cause explosion or risk of
fire when exposed to these
products!
WORK in a well ventilated
area when using solvents,
and keep away from any
potential ignition sources
(pilot lights). Most
solvents used to clean
machinery are toxic when
inhaled or ingested.
When using these
products, Always dispose
of any waste rags in a
sealed container to make
sure they do not cause
fire or environmental
hazards.
