Shop Preparation
• Machine Mobility: If you need to move your
drum sander or other machinery to achieve
any of the following requirements,
Woodstock International Inc. offers a line of
SHOP FOX ® Mobile Bases. For your drum
sander, use the SHOP FOX ® Super Heavy-
Duty Mobile Base (Model Number D2058)
and the SHOP FOX ® 36" Extension Bars
(Model Number D2246).
• Double Drum Sander Location: Choose a
location where, if a workpiece should be
ejected, you or bystanders will not be
struck. Take all necessary safety
precautions.
• Working Clearances: Consider your current
and future needs with respect to the size of
lumber to be processed at each machine,
space for auxiliary stands, work tables, and
other machinery.
• Lighting: Make sure your lighting eliminates
shadows and prevents eye strain.
• Outlets: Make sure electrical circuits are
dedicated or large enough to handle the
amperage requirements of the new
machinery. Electrical outlets should be
located near each machine so power or
extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas.
Make sure shop entrances
are locked and machines
are equipped with safety
lock-out devices when
not in use. DO NOT allow
untrained people in your
shop! Otherwise, injury
or death can occur.
Initial Cleaning
If the sander has any dust or slight stains from
shipping, DO NOT use a mineral-spirit solvent or
chlorine-based cleaner to clean any painted or
plastic surface, or the rubber conveyor belt. If you
do, you will permanently ruin the surface. Instead,
use a clean moist towel dampened with mild dish
soap and water to clean these surfaces.
If the sander has any grease spots which may
have fallen on metal parts from a drum bearing
during shipping, read and understand the
following Warnings and Cautions, and then use
mineral spirits to remove the excess grease.
Then coat the cleaned metal surface with a light
coat of machine oil to prevent corrosion.
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!
Never smoke while using
cleaning solvents. Smoking
may cause explosion or
risk of fire when exposed
to these products!
Most solvents used to
clean machinery are
toxic when inhaled or
ingested. When using
these products, work in a
well ventilated area and
keep away from any
potential ignition sources
(pilot lights). Always
dispose of waste rags in a
sealed container to make
sure they do not cause
fire or environmental
hazards.
