WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: • Lead from lead-based paints. • Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products. • Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.

Avoiding Potential Injuries SAFETY Figure A. Never sand a workpiece while holding it off the table surface. Figure B. Never touch a moving spindle.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS ELECTRICAL 110V Operation The SHOP FOX® W1686 is prewired for 110 volts. The motor supplied with your new machine is rated at 1 HP and will draw approximately 14 amps. When choosing a circuit for this machine, consider using one with a 15 amp circuit breaker or fuse. Keep in mind that a circuit being used by other machines or tools at the same time will add to the electrical load being applied by the machine. Add up the load ratings of all machines on the circuit.
220V Operation The SHOP FOX® W1686 can also be operated at 220 volts. To do this, consult with the wiring diagram in the back of this manual. Also, you will need a NEMA-style 6-15 plug and receptacle as shown in Figure 2. Any electrical outlet and circuit that you plug your machine into must be grounded. Never remove the grounding pin from any plug and always make sure all wiring to the machine is grounded before operating.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Unpacking The Model W1686 has been carefully packaged for safe transporting. If you notice the machine has been damaged or is missing any parts, please contact Woodstock International Service and Support at 1-360-734-3482 or send e-mail to: tech-support@woodstockint.com.

ASSEMBLY Figure 3. Component layout. The following is a description of the components shipped with the SHOP FOX® W1688. We recommended that the components be laid out in a similar fashion to those in Figure 3. This will help in identification before beginning assembly. Should any parts appear to be missing, examine the packaging carefully. If any key parts are missing, call Woodstock International, Inc. at 360-734-3482 or e-mail: tech-support@woodstockint.com. Item Qty.
Clean Up 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. Use a solvent based degreaser to remove the oil. Never use flammables such as gas or other petroleum-based solvents to clean your machine. These products have low flash points and present the risk of explosion and severe personal injury! NOTICE Avoid using any chlorine based solutions because they will damage the painted surfaces.
General The main components of the SHOP FOX® W1686 are assembled at the factory; however, some assembly is required. Loose clothing and long hair must be secured and kept away from moving parts. Table/Trunnion Make sure that your machine remains unplugged during any adjustments or maintenance procedures. Ignoring this warning may result in serious personal injury! Get assistance before lifting the table/trunnion assembly.
Dust Port Connect a dust collector to the 4" dust port on the back of the sander as shown in Figure 5. If you do not have a dust collection system, you can buy adapters to allow hook-up to a shop vacuum. Although not as adequate as a dust collector, a shop vacuum will help reduce the amount of uncontained dust and debris. ASSEMBLY Figure 5. Attach a dust collection system to the 4" dust port to reduce the amount of uncontained dust.
Sanding Spindle The Model W1686 is supplied with ten rubber sanding spindles. Use the larger diameter spindles for sanding large sweeping curves and the smaller spindles for sanding more intricate curves. When not in use, the spindles are stored on racks located on each side of the machine base as shown in Figure 6. Each spindle is secured to the rack with a hex nut. To mount the spindle for sanding: Figure 6. Spindle storage racks are located on the sides of the machine. 1.
To remove the spindle: 1. Use an adjustable wrench to hold the jam nuts stationary as shown in Figure 9. 2. While holding the jam nuts stationary, use the supplied wrench to loosen the spindle retainer nut at the base of the spindle as shown in Figure 10. 3. Remove the spindle and return it to the storage rack. ASSEMBLY Figure 9. (Table removed for clarity only) Use an adjustable wrench to hold the jam nuts stationary during spindle removal. Figure 10.
Sanding Sleeve The Model W1686 is supplied with 10 sanding sleeves. Use coarse (low #) grits for fast material removal and a rough finish. Use fine (high #) grits for slower material removal and a smoother finish. When changing from a coarse sleeve to a finer sleeve on a particular sanding project, never increase the grit number by intervals of more than 50. To change the sanding sleeve: 1. Loosen the hex nut located on the top of the spindle as shown in Figure 11.
Table Insert The Model W1686 is supplied with three different sized table inserts. The inserts are designed to reduce the gap between the spindle and the table opening. The hole in each insert is oblong to allow clearance when the table is in the tilted position. NOTICE Always use the table insert with the smallest opening that still allows at least 1⁄8" clearance around the spindle. Figure 13. The table insert should clear the spindle by at least 1⁄8" on all sides.
ADJUSTMENTS Positive Stop Bolt There is a positive stop bolt located under the back right-hand side of the table. When adjusted correctly, this stop allows the table to be returned square to the spindle with speed and accuracy. Retainer Screw Locking Handle (1 of 2) Make sure that your machine remains unplugged during any adjustments or maintenance procedures. Ignoring this warning may result in serious personal injury! Figure 15. Loosen the locking handles on the trunnions.
2. Using a machinist square, bring the table surface square with the spindle surface as shown in Figure 17. 3. Move the square to various points around the table to ensure the table and spindle are square on all sides. 4. Lock down both handles when you are satisfied with the position of the table. 5. Loosen the retainer screw (Figure 15) that secures the scale pointer and adjust the scale pointer to read 0˚. Re-tighten the retainer screw. Figure 17.
OPERATIONS Test Run Once assembly is complete, the machine is ready for a test run. The purpose of a test run is to identify any unusual noises and vibrations. Loose clothing and long hair must be secured and kept away from moving parts. To test run the machine: 1. Turn the machine on. Be sure to have your finger poised to turn the machine off if there is a problem. Always wear a dust mask and safety glasses in addition to using a dust collector.
Standard Sanding Procedures The Model W1686 excels at finish sanding the edges of workpieces that have been cut on a bandsaw or jigsaw (saber saw) as shown in Figure 18. Keep in mind that your workpiece needs to be cut larger than the desired finished size. The sander will remove a minimum of 1⁄16" from the edges depending on the grit used. Make a habit of cutting about 1⁄16" outside the desired finish line to compensate for material the sander will remove. Figure 18.
Bevel Sanding Procedures NOTICE All of the general sanding rules that apply to standard sanding apply to bevel sanding. Locking Handle (1 of 2) NOTICE Figure 19. Use the lock handles to secure the table at the desired angle. Bevel sanding on a spindle sander is NOT an exact science. When the table is tilted to 45˚, the actual angle sanded on the edge of a workpiece will change if the workpiece is sanded at different positions around the spindle.
MAINTENANCE General Regular periodic maintenance on your Model W1686 will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary. Loose clothing and long hair must be secured and kept away from moving parts. 1. Loose mounting bolts. 2. Worn switch. Make sure that your machine remains unplugged during any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
Sanding Sleeves As sanding sleeves are used, they will quickly become "loaded" with saw dust. If not removed, this saw dust will harden on the abrasive surface, rendering the sleeve useless. Routinely clean the sanding sleeves with a rubber gum abrasive cleaner (Figure 21) such as the PROSTIK® cleaners available from your local Woodstock International dealer. Always discard worn sanding sleeves. As abrasives begin to wear, grit will begin to fall off, causing deep gouges in the workpiece.
