SETUP
W1730 Oscillating Edge Sander
• Floor Load: Your Model W1730 Oscillating
Edge Sander weighs 396 lbs with a 22-1/2"
x 19-1/2" footprint. Some residential floors
may require additional bracing to support
both machine and operator.
• Working Clearances: Consider all existing
and anticipated needs, size of material to
be processed through the machine, and
space for auxiliary stands, work tables,
or other machinery when establishing a
location for your Model W1730 Oscillating
Edge Sander.
• Electrical: Electrical circuits should be
dedicated or able to handle amperage
requirements. Outlets should be located
near each machine, so power cords are
clear of high-traffic areas. Follow local
electrical codes for proper installation of
new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
MAKE your shop “child
safe.” Ensure that your
workplace is inaccessible
to youngsters by closing
and locking all entrances
when you are away. NEVER
allow untrained visitors in
your shop when assem-
bling, adjusting or operat-
ing equipment.
Cleaning Machine
The table and other unpainted parts of your
Model W1730 Oscillating Edge Sander are coated
with a waxy grease that protects them from
corrosion during shipment. Clean this grease off
with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser.
DO NOT use chlorine-based solvents such as
brake parts cleaner or acetone—if you happen
to splash some onto a painted surface, you will
ruin the finish.
Machine Placement
USE helpers or power lift-
ing equipment to lift this
Model W1730 Oscillating
Edge Sander. Otherwise,
serious personal injury
may occur.
NEVER use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents to clean with.
Most have low flash
points, which make them
extremely flammable.
A risk of explosion and
burning exists if these
products are used. Serious
personal injury may occur
if this warning is ignored!
ALWAYS work in well-
ventilated areas far from
possible ignition sources
when using solvents to
clean machinery. Many
solvents are toxic when
inhaled or ingested. Use
care when disposing
of waste rags and
towels to be sure they
DO NOT create fire or
environmental hazards.
