NOTICE  
Standard Safety Instructions  
1. Thoroughly read the instruction manual before operating your machine. Learn the applications,  
limitations and potential hazards of this machine. Keep manual in a safe, convenient place for  
future reference. Make sure any other operators have read and understand the manual as well.  
2. Keep work area clean and well lighted. Clutter and inadequate lighting invite potential hazards.  
3. Ground all tools. If a machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it must be plugged into a  
three-hole grounded electrical outlet or grounded extension cord. If using an adapter to aid in  
accommodating a two-hole receptacle, ground using a screw to a known ground.  
4. Wear eye protection at all times. Use safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles that meet  
the national safety standards, while operating this machine.  
5. Avoid dangerous environments. Do not operate this machine in wet or open flame environments.  
Airborne dust particles could cause an explosion and severe fire hazard.  
6. Ensure all guards are securely in place and in working condition.  
7. Make sure switch is in the “OFF” position before connecting power to machine.  
8. Keep work area clean, free of clutter, grease, etc.  
9. Keep children and visitors away. Visitors should be kept at a safe distance away while operating.  
10.Childproof workshop with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.  
11.Disconnect machine when cleaning, adjusting or servicing.  
12.Do not force the machine. The machine will do a safer and better job if it does the work.  
-4-

13.Use the correct tool. Do not force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not  
designed.  
14.Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, jewelry, keep long hair tied up, etc.  
15.Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Before turning the machine on, make a habit of checking  
that all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed before turning the machine ON.  
16.Use proper extension cord. Examine the extension cord to ensure it is in good condition. Use  
Table 1 below to determine the correct length and gauge of extension cord needed for your  
particular needs. The amp rating of the motor can be found on its nameplate. If the motor is dual  
voltage, be sure to use the amp rating for the voltage you will be using. If you use an extension  
cord with an undersized gauge or one that is too long, excessive heat will be generated within the  
circuit increasing the chance of a fire or damage to the circuit. Never use an extension cord that  
does not have a ground pin and connected ground wire. Immediately replace an extension cord if  
it shows any signs of damage.  
17.Keep stable footing and balance at all times.  
18.Do not leave machine unattended. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the  
area.  
19.Perform machine maintenance and care. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment  
instructions in the manual.  
20.Keep machine away from open flame. Operating machines near pilot lights and/or open flames  
creates a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause  
an explosion. Do not operate the machine in high-risk areas, including but not limited to, those  
mentioned above.  
21. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the  
machine! Then contact our Service Department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should  
be performed.  
22. Habits—good and bad—are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and safety will  
become second-nature to you.

Additional Safety Instructions for Disc Sanders  
1. Always disconnect the machine from the power source when moving or servicing the disc  
sander!  
2. All inspections, adjustments, and maintenance MUST be done with the power off and the  
power cord unplugged. Wait for disc to come to a complete stop.  
3. Always keep your fingers away from the moving disc. Serious personal injury could occur.  
4. Never operate this disc sander if the disc is worn or damaged. Inspect disc before each use.  
Worn discs stress the motor and can burn the workpiece.  
5. Never use excessive force when sanding. This causes motor overload and increases the chance of  
fingers slipping into the disc.  
6. Always feed the material into the portion of the disc that is spinning down toward the table.  
7. Always place material flat on the surface of the table before sanding.  
8. If there is any doubt as to the stability of the material to be sanded, do not sand it.  
9. If you ever experience difficulties performing the intended sanding operation, stop using the  
disc sander! Then contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation  
should be performed.  
10. Always wear a dust mask or respirator when sanding even if you have a reliable method of dust  
collection.  
11. Sanding dust from some woods may be toxic or cause an allergic reaction. Be sure to wear an  
appropriate respirator when working around wood dust. Make sure there is adequate ventilation or  
a constant source of fresh air. The dust from some species of wood can be toxic to some people.  
Be sure to research the dangers of the specific species of wood you are working with.

Electrical Requirements  
110V Operation  
NEVER remove the grounding  
pin from any plug and always  
make sure all wiring to the  
machine is grounded before  
operating. Any electrical  
outlet and circuit you plug  
your machine into must be  
grounded. Serious injury may  
occur if this warning is  
ignored!  
The SHOP FOX® W1708 has a 1 HP, 110V, 60  
Hz motor that draws approximately 10 amps  
under load.  
Use a 15 amp circuit breaker in a circuit that  
has wiring rated to handle this amperage draw.  
Keep in mind that a circuit being used by other  
machines or tools at the same time will add to  
the total load being applied. Add up the load  
ratings of all the machines on the circuit. If  
this number exceeds the rating of the circuit  
breaker or wiring, use a different circuit.  
DO NOT replace the circuit breaker with  
one rated at a higher amperage or damage  
to the circuit may occur.  
Extension Cords  
When it is necessary to use an extension cord,  
follow the guidelines below:  
• Use cords rated for Standard Service  
• Never use cords longer than 100 feet  
• Use cords with 16 gauge wire  
• Always use cords with a grounding pin  
• Never use damaged cords  
Grounding  
This machine must be grounded! If your outlet  
does not accommodate a ground pin (Figure  
2), have the outlet replaced by a qualified  
electrician or have an appropriate adapter  
installed and grounded properly. An adapter  
with a grounding wire does not guarantee that  
the machine will be grounded. A ground source  
must be verified!

ASSEMBLY  
Overview  
Shop Preparation  
The following is a description of the  
components shipped with the SHOP FOX®  
W1708 12" Disc Sander.  
Workbench Load: Your disc sander has a  
small weight load in a small footprint.  
Most workbenches are suitable for the disc  
sander. Reinforce the workbench if you  
question its ability to support the disc  
sander.  
Should any parts be missing, examine the  
packaging carefully to be sure parts are not  
among the packing materials. If any parts are  
missing, contact Woodstock International, Inc.  
at 360-734-3482 or by e-mail at:  
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 disc sander.  
Box Contents  
1. Disc 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, outlets, or circuits.

OPERATIONS  
Disc Sanding  
ALWAYS keep loose  
clothing and long hair  
secured and away from  
moving parts.  
To perform sanding operations, do these  
steps:  
1. To sand a 90˚ angle, place the surface of  
the workpiece that you wish to sand  
against the face of the miter gauge (set at  
90˚).  
Test Run  
2. Slide the workpiece into the left half of  
the sanding disc that is spinning downward  
as shown in Figure 10.  
Once the adjustments are complete, the SHOP  
FOX® W1708 is ready for a test run. The  
purpose of a test run is to identify any unusual  
noises and vibrations, as well as to confirm  
that the machine is performing as intended.  
3. Move the workpiece across the downward  
spinning surface of the disc to prevent  
build-up on the sanding disc and burning of  
the workpiece.  
ALWAYS WEAR safety  
glasses during operations.  
Serious injury may occur  
if this is warning is ig-  
nored!  
4. Remove the miter gauge to sand curves  
and irregular shapes.  
To test run the machine, do these steps:  
1. Plug the machine into the power source.  
2. Turn the disc sander ON.  
3. Keep your hand over the power switch in  
case there is a situation that requires you  
to quickly turn the power OFF.  
Your disc sander should run smoothly with no  
strange noises or excessive vibration. UNPLUG  
the machine before investigating any unusual  
noises.  
Figure 10. Disc sanding.  
Only use the left half of the sanding disc  
when performing sanding operations. The  
right half of the disc is rotating in an

MAINTENANCE  
General  
Lubrication  
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently  
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they  
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.  
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model  
W1708 will ensure its optimum performance.  
Make a habit of inspecting your sander each  
time you use it. Check for the following  
conditions and repair or replace when  
necessary.  
For other items on this machine, an occasional  
application of light machine oil is all that is  
necessary. Before applying lubricant, wipe the  
machine clean.  
1. Loose mounting bolts.  
2. Worn switch.  
Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication.  
Too much lubrication will attract dirt and  
sawdust. Various parts of your machine could  
lose their freedom of movement as a result.  
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.  
4. Damaged sanding disc.  
5. Any other condition that could hamper the  
safe operation of this machine.  
Disconnect power to the  
machine when performing
