Figure 14. Safety lockout key removed.
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.
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.
