Power Switch
The power switch on the SHOP FOX® Model W1717 not only starts and stops operation, but features a safety lockout key. When the key is removed, as shown in Figure 14, the sander is disabled to prevent accidental start up.
Belt Selection
The SHOP FOX® Model W1717 accepts 4" x 36" sanding belts. There are a large variety of sand- ing belts to choose from. We recommend Aluminum Oxide belts for standard sanding pur- poses. Table 2 shows abrasive types and grit numbers.
As a general rule of thumb, progressively increase the grit number you use without jump- ing 50 grit sizes at one time. It would take a lot of sanding with a 220 grit paper to remove the sanding scratches left from an 80 grit paper.
