NOTICE
SAFETY
1. Always operate your drill press at speeds that are appropriate for the drill bit size and the mate-
rial that you are drilling.
2. Feed the drill bit evenly into the workpiece. Back the bit out of deep holes and clear the chips
with a brush after you have turned the machine off.
3. Make sure the drill bit you are using is tightened properly. Use only round, hex or triangular shank
drill bits.
4. Never do maintenance or change speeds with this machine plugged in.
5. Never use tools that are in poor condition. Cutting tools that are dull or damaged are difficult to
control and may cause serious injury.
6. Never drill sheet metal unless it is clamped securely to the table.
7. Work should be positioned in such a way as to avoid drilling into the table.
8. A face guard used with safety glasses is recommended.
9. Always clamp workpiece securely to table before drilling. Never hold a workpiece by hand while
drilling.
10. Always remove handles before using oscillating feature.
11. Habits – good and bad – are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become
second-nature to you.
Additional Safety Instructions For Drill Presses
11. Disconnect machine when cleaning, adjusting or servicing.
12. Do not force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was designed.
13. Use correct tool. Do not force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
14. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, etc.
15. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check that
all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed.
16. Use proper extension cord. When using an extension cord, make sure it is in good condition. When
extension cord is 100’ and less in length, use those that are rated Hard Service (grade S) or better,
and that have a conductor size of 16 A.W.G. A drop in line voltage, loss of power and overheating
can result when using an undersized cord. The extension cord should have a ground wire and ground
plug pin, as well.
17. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
18. Do not leave machine unattended. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the area.
19. Perform machine maintenance and care. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions
in the manual.
20. Keep machine away from open flame. Operating machines near pilot lights and/or open flames cre-
ates a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause an
explosion. Do not operate the machine in high risk areas, including but not limited to, those men-
tioned above.

Grounding
This equipment must be grounded. Verify
that any existing electrical outlet and circuit
you intend to plug into is actually grounded.
If it is not, it will be necessary to run a sep-
arate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire from
the outlet to a known ground. Under no cir-
cumstances should the grounding pin from
any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious
injury may occur.
This machine must be grounded! See Figure 1.
The electrical cord supplied with the Shop Fox
®
W1668 comes with a grounding pin. Do not
remove it. If your outlet does not accommodate
a ground pin, have it replaced by a qualified
electrician or have an appropriate adapter
installed with a proven ground source. An
adapter does not ensure a grounded system if
the adapter is not grounded.
The Shop Fox

1
⁄4" Oscillating Drill
Press can only be operated at 110 volts. The
motor supplied with your new drill press is rated
at
3
⁄4 horse power and will draw approximately
9 amps. When choosing an outlet for this
machine, consider using one with a 15 amp cir-
cuit 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 drill press. Add up the load rat-
ings of all machines on the circuit. If this num-
ber exceeds the rating of the circuit breaker or
fuse, use a different outlet.

Oscillating Feature
One of the great features of the W1668 Drill
Press is its capability for oscillating sanding. The
drill press can be converted from drilling opera-
tions to sanding operations in just a few steps.
1. Unplug the drill press and remove the
spindle handles.
2. Install the round rubber belt onto the top
groove in the spindle pulley and the oscil-
lating pulley located between the idler pul-
ley and the spindle pulley. The belt will
stretch for this purpose.
Figure 22.
4. Remove the 3 spindle handles. If left in
place, the operator may be struck by them
while the spindle travels up and down.
3.
Close the cover. The motor will not start
until the cover is closed.
4. Loosen the knob for depth stop.
If the depth stop is left adjusted for a shallow
hole, damage will occur to the oscillating
mechanism. Check and adjust depth stop
before using oscillating feature.
Figure 26. Stretch the belt to fit on pulleys.
ADJUSTMENTS

Table Adjustments
The table can be adjusted to accommodate
height of materials to be sanded or drilled. To
adjust:
1. Loosen the table support bracket lock knob.
Turn the table hand crank to raise or lower
the table. Figure 27.
2. The table can be adjusted out of the way so
the base of the drill press may be used to
support the workpiece for drilling opera-
tions only. Loosen the table lock knob and
pivot the table to the back side of the col-
umn.
Figure 28.
3. The drill press is supplied with 4 table
inserts. Always choose the insert whose
opening is only slightly bigger than the sand-
ing drum chosen.
Figure 29.
For drilling,
always use the table insert with the small-
est opening unless using a vise. Install the
chosen table insert into the pocket provided
in the top of the table.
4. The table should be adjusted so the opening
in the installed table insert is centered to
the drill bit or sanding drum. Loosen the
table and pivot the table until the bit or
drum is centered with the hole.
A table insert is not needed when sanding with
a 2" drum.
Sanding Tip: To use all of the grit on the paper,
adjust the table height as the paper wears.
When the thickness of the workpiece does not
allow much table movement, remove the drum
from the sanding spindle, turn it end for end and
replace it on the sanding spindle.
Figure 27. Use handle to adjust table height.
Figure 29. Checking drum size and table insert.
Figure 28. Table adjusted behind column.
Never sand or drill with-
out the table for support
and workpiece properly
secured. Serious per-
sonal injury may occur.
ADJUSTMENTS
Always wear safety glass-
es when operating drill
press. Failure to comply
may result in serious per-
sonal injury.

OPERATIONS
Once assembly is complete and adjustments are
done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test
run the machine.
Make sure the starting switch is off. The paddle
is down when off. Make sure all the fasteners
and lock handles are tight. Plug in the power
cord. Pull the START paddle. Make sure that your
finger is poised over the paddle,as in
Figure 30,
just in case there is a problem. The drill press
should run smoothly, with little or no vibration or
rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural noises
require you to stop the machine, investigate and
correct before continuing. If source of unusual
noise or vibration is not readily apparent, con-
tact our service department for help at 360-734-
3482 or: [email protected].
Test Run
DO NOT attempt to inves-
tigate or adjust the
machine while it is run-
ning. Wait until the
machine is turned off,
unplugged and all work-
ing parts have come to a
stop before proceeding!
Figure 30. Hand poised over stop paddle.
OPERATIONS
Installing the sanding drum spindle is identical to installing a drill bit. However, it is important to install
the paper and drum before installing the spindle into the drill chuck. See your local retailer for drums
and paper.
-
19-
Care must be taken to secure the bit firmly in
the drill chuck. When changing bits, proceed as
follows:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. Open the chuck wide enough to accept a
drill bit.
3. Install the bit so the chuck jaws will grab as
much of the bit shank as it can.
Figure 31.
Do not allow the chuck to grab the fluted
body of the drill bit. Make sure small drill
bits do not get trapped between the edges
of two jaws.

MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Since all bearings are shielded and permanently
lubricated, simply leave them alone until they
need to be replaced. Do not lubricate them.
For other items on this machine, such as the
quill, table and column, an occasional shot of
light machine oil is all that is necessary. Before
applying lubricant, clean off sawdust and metal
chips.
Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication.
Too much lubrication will attract dirt and saw-
dust. Various parts of your machine could loose
their freedom of movement as a result.
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model
W1668 Oscillating Drill Press will ensure its opti-
mum performance. Make a habit of inspecting
your drill press each time you use it. Check for
the following conditions and repair or replace
when necessary.
