Woodstock W1738 owner manual Emergency Stop, Keypad and Display, Calibrating the Table

W1737/W1738 Owner's Manual (Mfg. 10/09+)

Emergency Stop

When pushed, the emergency stop plate shown in Figure

19stops the electricity to the motors and also applies an air-disc brake to stop the sander immediately.

To use the emergency stop, do these steps:

1.Push the bottom of the emergency stop plate.

2.Hold the emergency stop plate until the sander has come to a complete stop.

KEEP the sanding drum drive belts correctly adjusted. Otherwise, the sanding drum pulley will slip when the emergency brake is applied and not immediately stop the machine in the event of an emergency!

Keypad and Display

You can push the UP or DOWN arrow keys to lift or lower the table, or you can use the automated function of auto height adjustment for your next sanding pass. All functions are controlled through the key pad and are presented on the digital display. See Figure 20.

Calibrating the Table

When you change the sandpaper or you notice an inconsistency with the actual sanding thickness in

relationship to your digital setting, you must re-calibrate

the table.

To re-calibrate your table, do these steps:

1.Sand a workpiece multiple times at the same thickness until no sanding occurs when the workpiece goes through the sander.

2.Using a caliper capable of measuring 0.001", measure and record the workpiece thickness.

3.Type the recorded thickness of the workpiece on the key pad, and the digital display will show the thickness. Example: For 11⁄2" thickness, type 1.500; or for 13⁄8" thickness, type 1.375.

4. Now press and hold the SET key for 3 seconds:

The table is now calibrated.

Note: Holding the set key for 10 seconds toggles the digital readout between metric and standard measurements.
