Cast Iron Disc 5.
Clean Up Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents. They have low flash points which make them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used. Serious personal injury may occur if this warning is ignored. The exposed, unpainted surfaces of the machine have been coated with an oil to prevent rust during shipment. This oil needs to be removed before operation. To remove the oil, we recommend using a solvent based degreaser.
! General Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance, assembly or adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. While the main components of the Shop Fox® W1676 are assembled at the factory, some assembly is required. The following is the recommended sequence best suited for final assembly. TOOLS REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED): You will need a 6" adjustable wrench, 12mm open-end wrench, flathead screwdriver, Phillips® screwdriver and 4mm Allen® wrench.
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. The W1676 represents a heavy load at 170 pounds. Seek assistance before beginning assembly. Figure 9. Stand mounting holes. 1. With the help of a friend, lift the main sanding 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 sanding unit as shown in Figure 9. 3.
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 designed to reduce the amount of dust on the sander and in the air. Fasten the belt dust port to the sanding belt frame using (2) Phillips® head screws as shown in Figure 13.
Working Table The working table has two mounting locations: next to the sanding disc and next to the vertically positioned belt sander. We recommend initially mounting the working table next to the disc. If you want to mount it next to the vertically positioned belt sander, skip to the “Vertical Positioning” instructions in the Adjustment section. To install the working table next to the disc: 1. Loosen the (2) 5⁄16"-18 x 3⁄8" setscrews located in the base, directly beneath the pulley cover. Figure 15.
ADJUSTMENTS ! General Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance, assembly or adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. 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 090° 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°.
Belt Tracking/Tension NOTICE It is best to adjust the tracking of the sanding belt before making any tension adjustments. If you have trouble maintaining proper tracking after several attempts, you may need to adjust the belt tension. Improper tension can often times be the cause of tracking problems. Belt tension and tracking are crucial to the performance of the belt sander. Too much tension will cause undue stress on the bearings and other parts.
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 pivoting point of the rocker arm as shown in Figure 20. Do not remove the bolt. Figure 20. Loosening rocker arm bolt. (Belt Removed For Clarity) 2.
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 position as shown in Figure 24. Figure 23. Vertical positioning bolts. 4. Tighten down the nuts that were loosened in Step 2.
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 sanding disc over the cast iron disc before pressing it down as shown in Figure 27. Figure 26. Opening pulley door. 4. Another option allows you to leave the pulley cover and working table attached.
Table Tilt To adjust the working table angle: 1. 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. Loosen the screw holding the angle indicator and set it to the 90° mark on the scale. Figure 29. Checking table alignment. 4. Using a 90° square, check to see if the miter slot is perpendicular to the sanding disc as shown in Figure 30. 5.
OPERATIONS ! Testing Disconnect power to the machine when performing any maintenance, assembly or adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. 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 confirm the machine is performing as intended. 1. Turn the machine on by pulling the START paddle on the power switch.
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 off of the sander. 4. If the workpiece is long, you may want to remove the back stop from the sander.
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 workpiece perpendicular to the sanding disc as shown in Figure 35. 4. Varying angles can be sanded by adjusting the miter gauge to the desired setting as shown in Figure 36. Figure 35. Sanding end grain. 5.
MAINTENANCE General ! Regular periodic maintenance on your Model W1676 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. 1. Loose mounting bolts. 2. Worn switch. 3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs. 4. Damaged sanding belts or discs. 5.
