Model W1828 (For Machines Mfg. Since 4/11)
Bench Mounting
We strongly recommend that you mount your sander to a workbench to prevent it from moving during operation. Before doing so, remove the included feet. An unexpected movement could result in an injury or property damage.
When you have chosen the location to mount the sander, the strongest option is a "Through Mount" where holes are drilled all the way through the workbench, and hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to secure the machine (see Figure 5).
Another option for mounting is a "Direct Mount" where the machine is simply secured to the workbench with a lag screw (see Figure 6).

Dust Collection
Recommended CFM at Dust Port: | 98 CFM |
Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must take into account many variables, including the CFM rating of the dust collector, the length of hose between the dust collector and the machine, the amount of branches or Y's, and the amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining this calculation is beyond the scope of this manual. If you are unsure of your system, consult an expert or purchase a good dust collection
DO NOT operate this machine without an adequate dust collection system. This machine creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and
