Additional Safety for Disc Sanders
AVOID FINGER INJURIES. Never purposely
touch the moving sanding disc. Take care to
keep fingers away from sanding disc during
operations. If the workpiece is small or
difficult to hold, use a workpiece holding
fixture. Sanding abrasives can quickly remove
large amounts of skin!
POSITION TABLE CORRECTLY. Make sure the
gap between the table and sanding disc does
not exceed 3⁄16"—too large of a gap increases
the risk of workpiece grab and pinch injuries,
while too small of a gap increases the risk of
sandpaper damage and restricts the removal
of dust during operation.
AVOID WORKPIECE GRAB. Support the workpiece
on the work table against the rotation
ONLY USE SAFE SANDPAPER DISCS. Never use
sanding discs that are damaged or torn;
or if the adhesive is not sticking firmly. If
sandpaper rips or comes off of the disc during
operation, the workpiece or your hands could
become entangled with the moving disc.
direction of the sanding disc. Otherwise, the
sanding disc could grab the workpiece and pull
your hands into the moving disc.
AVOID KICKBACK. Avoid kickback by sanding
in accordance with directional arrows.
Always sand on the downward side of the
disc—pay close attention to the direction of
disc rotation to avoid placing the workpiece
against the upward side of the disc. Avoid
sanding with excessive force. Always keep the
sanding disc guard installed.
AVOID ENTANGLEMENT. Tie back long hair and
remove any loose-fitting clothing or jewelry
that could be caught up in the sanding disc or
other moving machine parts.
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 sanding. Make sure you
know what type of wood dust you will be
exposed to in case there is a possibility of an
allergic reaction.
ONLY SAND SAFE WORKPIECES. If there is
any doubt about stability or integrity of the
material to be sanded, do not sand it. Never
attempt to sand any sort of cable, chain, or
wire. If you do, entanglement can occur and
cause serious injury.
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM FINE DUST. This
machine puts fine dust particles into the air
during operation. Wood dust is harmful to
respiratory systems and long term exposure
may lead to severe health problems. Reduce
your risk by always wearing a NIOSH-approved
respirator during machine operation and for a
short time after.
DISCONNECT POWER WHEN SERVICING.
Disconnect the machine from power and
allow the disc 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.
READ and understand this
entiremanualbeforeusing
this machine. Serious per-
sonal injury may occur
if safety and operational
information is not under-
stood and followed. DO
NOT risk your safety by
not reading!
USE this and other machinery with caution
and respect. Always consider safety first,
as it applies to your individual working
conditions. No list of safety guidelines can
be complete—every shop environment is
different. Failure to follow guidelines could
result in serious personal injury, damage
to equipment or poor work results.

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.)
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.

Machine Placement
Weight Load
Physical Environment
Refer to the Machine Specifications for the
weight of your machine. Make sure that the
surface upon which the machine is placed will
bear the weight of the machine, additional
equipment that may be installed on the
machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will
be used. Additionally, consider the weight of
the operator and any dynamic loading that may
occur when operating the machine.
The physical environment where your machine is
operated is important for safe operation and the
longevity of its components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment
that is free from excessive moisture, hazardous
chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme
conditions. Extreme conditions for this type
of machinery are generally those where the
ambient temperature range exceeds 41°–104°F;
the relative humidity range exceeds 20–95%
(non-condensing); or the environment is subject
to vibration, shocks, or bumps.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that
will be processed through this machine and
provide enough space around the machine
for adequate operator material handling or
the installation of auxiliary equipment. With
permanent installations, leave enough space
around the machine to open or remove doors/
covers as required by the maintenance and
service described in this manual. See below for
required space allocation.
Electrical Installation
Place this machine near an existing power
source. Make sure all power cords are protected
from traffic, material handling, moisture,
chemicals, or other hazards. Make sure to leave
access to a means of disconnecting the power
source or engaging a lockout/tagout device.

Cleaning Machine
To prevent corrosion during shipment and storage of your
machine, the factory has coated the bare metal surfaces
of your machine with a heavy-duty rust prevention
compound.
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and can explode
or cause fire if used to
clean machinery. Avoid
using these products
to clean machinery.
Many cleaning solvents
are toxic if inhaled.
Minimize your risk
by only using these
products in a well
ventilated area.
If you are unprepared or impatient, this compound can
be difficult to remove. To ensure that the removal of this
coating is as easy as possible, please gather the correct
cleaner, lubricant, and tools listed below:
•
Cleaner/degreaser designed to remove storage wax
and grease
Safety glasses & disposable gloves
Solvent brush or paint brush
Disposable Rags
•
•
•
To remove the rust preventative coating, do these
steps:
NOTICE
In a pinch, automotive degreasers,
mineral spirits or WD•40 can be used
to remove rust preventative coating.
Before using these products, though,
test them on an inconspicuous area of
your paint to make sure they will not
damage it.
1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM POWER.
2. Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.
3. Using a liberal amount of your cleaner/degreaser,
Coat all surfaces that have the coating, and let soak
for few minutes.
4. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser is
effective, the coating will wipe off easily.
Tip: To clean off thick coats of the rust preventative
compound on flat surfaces, use a PLASTIC paint
scraper to scrape off the majority of the coating
before wiping it off with your rag. (Do not use a
metal scraper or you may scratch your machine.)
5. Repeat the cleaning steps as necessary until all of
the compound is removed.
6. To prevent rust on the freshly cleaned surfaces,
immediately coat with a quality metal protectant.

Disc Sanding
The Model W1815 uses dual-axis miter slot design for
increased versatility of workpiece control.
Always keep the workpiece on the side of the wheel
that is rotating down toward the table. This will
keep the workpiece from flying out of your hands if
kickback occurs.
Figure 13. Example of Y-axis sanding.
Figure 14. Example of X-axis sanding.
Figure 15. Angle sanding.
To reduce the risk of your fingers getting trapped
between the work table and sanding disc, make
sure the table is approximately 3⁄16" away from the
sanding disc.
To use the sanding disc, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT SANDER FROM POWER!
2. Set the angle of the table and miter gauge for your
operation.
3. Connect the sander to power, turn it ON, and allow
it to reach full speed.
