SETUP
W1730 Oscillating Edge Sander
Once all Set Up procedures up to this point have been
completed, it is time to test run your new sander.
Turn the machine ON and keep the your hand poised near
the switch just in case there is a problem. The machine
should run smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing
noises. Turn the machine OFF. Strange or unnatural noises
should be investigated and corrected before further
operation of the machine.
If you cannot easily locate the source of unusual noise or
vibration, contact Woodstock International, Inc. at 360-

Figure 20. W1730 dust ports.
There are two 4" dust collection ports that should be

do these steps:
1. Use a 4" diameter hose and clamps to connect a dust
collection system to your dust ports.

Figure 21. Checking gear box oil level.
It is vital for the gear box to be correctly filled with SAE
80W oil before any operation. The gear box is filled at
the factory, but the oil level should be double checked.
To check and refill the gear box, do these steps:
1. Place the belt sander in the horizontal position.
2. Locate the gear box cover, directly beneath the
motor, and remove the two cap screws and two hex
bolts retaining the gear box cover.
3. Remove the oil fill plug on top of the gear box
( Figure 21) and check the oil level.
—If the oil is within 1/2" from the top, the oil
level is correct, continue to step 4.
—If the oil level is not within 1/2" from the top, fill
the gear box with SAE 80W gear oil until the level
is 1/2" from the top.
4. Reinstall the cover, hex bolts and cap screws.
