Shop Preparation
•
Floor Load:
Your sander represents a large
weight load in a small footprint. Most com-
mercial floors are suitable for the sander.
Some residential floors may require addi-
tional bracing to support both machine and
operator.
•
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 loca-
tion 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
power or extension cords are clear of high-
traffic areas. Observe local electrical codes
for proper installation of new lighting, out-
lets, or circuits.
Cleaning Machine
The table and other unpainted parts of the
Model W1689 are coated with a waxy grease that
protects them from corrosion during shipment.
For optimum performance from your machine,
make sure you clean all moving parts or sliding
contact surfaces that are coated.
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 sur-
face, you will ruin the finish.
Always 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 petro-
leum-based solvents to
clean your machine.
These products have low
flash points and present
the risk of explosion and
severe personal injury!
Never smoke while using
any cleaning solvents.
Smoking may cause explo-
sion or risk of fire when
exposed to these products!
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.
