W1730 Oscillating Edge Sander

MAINTENANCE

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your SHOP FOX® Model W1730 will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your oscillating edge sander each time you use it.

Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary:

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Worn or damaged sanding belts.

•Worn switch.

•Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

•Damaged V-belt.

•Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this machine.

Make sure that your machine is unplugged during all maintenance pro- cedures! If this warning is ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Frequently blow-off sawdust with compressed air. This is especially important for the internal working parts and motor. Dust build-up around the motor is a sure way to decrease its life span.

Occasionally it will become necessary to clean the internal parts with more than compressed air. To do this, remove the table top and clean the internal parts with a citrus cleaner or mineral spirits and a stiff wire brush or steel wool. Make sure the internal workings are dry before using the sander again, so that wood dust will not accumulate. If any essential lubrication is removed during cleaning, re-lubricate those areas.

Table & Base

Tables can be kept rust-free with regular applications of a product like SLIPIT®. For long term storage you may want to consider a product like Boeshield T-9™.
