• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well venti-
lated area, and work with approved safety equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

NOTICE
SAFETY
SAFETY
1. Always operate your drill press at speeds that are appropriate for the drill bit size and the
material 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. Properly position workpieces 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.

5-
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 Standard 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 instruc-
tions in the manual.
20. Keep machine away from open flame. Operating machines near pilot lights and/or open flames
creates 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
mentioned above.

Ground this machine! The electrical cord sup-
plied with the W1667 8
1
⁄2'' Oscillating Drill Press
comes with a grounding pin. DO NOT remove
the pin if your outlet does not accept a ground
pin, see Figure 5a. Have the outlet box
replaced by a qualified electrician or have an
appropriate adapter installed. Remember, an
adapter with a grounding wire does not guaran-
tee the machine will be grounded. A ground
source must always be verified in the electrical
circuit within the wall or conduit.
Using an extension cord with an undersized
gauge or one that is too long, generates heat in
the cord that may cause fire or circuit damage.
If you must use an extension cord, use the
guidelines below to determine the correct cord
length and gauge. The amp rating of the motor
is 9 amps and can be found on its nameplate.
•Use a cord rated for Standard Service (Grade S)
•Use a cord that is 16 gauge and 100 feet or
less only
•Use a cord with a ground wire and pin
•Use only undamaged cords
The
SHOP FOX
®
W1667 8
1
⁄2'' Oscillating Drill
Press can only be operated at 110 volts (see
Figure 5). The motor draws approximately 5
amps. Choose an outlet with a 10 amp circuit
breaker or fuse protection. Remember circuits
being used by other machines at the same time
add to the total electrical load being applied by
this machine. If this total amperage load
exceeds the amperage rating of the circuit
breaker or fuse, use a different circuit with a
higher amperage rating.
DO NOT modify an existing low-amperage circuit
by only replacing the circuit breaker with a
breaker rated for a higher amperage. The break-
er and the complete circuit must be replaced by
a qualified electrician.
DISCONNECT power to machine before per-
forming any electrical or mechanical ser-
vice or maintenance. Seek assistance from
a qualified electrician if you do not under-
stand the wiring diagram in this manual.
Always follow the applicable electrical
codes and standards. Otherwise serious
personal injury or death may occur!

Once assembly is complete and adjustments
are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to
start the drill press. Every time you start the
drill press, you should follow these basic
instructions.
To start the drill press, do these steps:
1. Make sure the starting switch paddle is
down for OFF.
2. Make sure all fasteners and lock handles
are tight.
3. Make sure the drill chuck key is removed.
4.
Plug in the power cord.
5. Lift the ON/OFF switch to start the drill
press, and make sure that your finger is
poised over the paddle, as shown in Figure
32, just in case there is a problem.
6. Listen and observe the drill press, it should
run smoothly, with little or no vibration or
rubbing noises.
• If you hear strange or unusual noises,
shut the drill press OFF, and wait for the
spindle to stop moving.
7. Unplug the drill press and refer to the
“Troubleshooting” table on Page 26 to
help isolate and correct the problem
before using the drill press again.
Figure 32. Hand poised over a typical stop switch.
WEAR safety glasses and
a respirator during
drilling or sanding oper-
ations. Otherwise seri-
ous personal injury may
occur!
Keep your shop “Child
Safe.” Always remove
the switch safety key
when drill press is not in
use. Serious injury may
occur.

To change drill bits and sanding drums, do
these steps:
1. UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS!
2. Use the chuck key to open the chuck wide
enough to accept the new bit or the sand-
ing drum mandrel. See Figure 33.
3. Install the bit or mandrel so the chuck jaws
will grab as much of the bit or mandrel
shank as it can.
• If you are installing a small drill bit, make
sure it is held between three jaws instead
of only two, and NEVER allow a chuck to
grab the fluted body of drill bits.
• If you are installing the sanding drum,
install the paper and drum before
installing the spindle into the drill chuck
(contact your local
SHOP FOX
®
dealer
for drums and paper).
4. Tighten the chuck with the chuck key,
using any of the three key end locations.
See Figure 34.
5. Choose the insert that has an opening
approximately
1
⁄4" bigger than the sanding
drum chosen. For drilling, always use the
table insert with the smallest opening. A
table insert is not needed when a 2" drum
is used. See Figure 35.
6. Install the chosen table insert into the
pocket in the top of the table.
7. Remove the chuck key and reconnect the
power source.
8. Reverse these steps to remove the drill bit
or sanding drum.

NEVER troubleshoot or
adjust the machine while
it is running. Wait until
the machine is turned off,
unplugged and all working
parts have come to a stop
before proceeding!

One of the great features of the Model W1667
8
1
⁄2'' Oscillating Drill Press is its sanding capa-
bility. The drill press can be converted from
drilling operations to sanding operations in just
a few steps.
To use the oscillating feature, do these
steps:
1. UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS!
2. Remove the spindle handles.
3. Lift the belt cover and remove the round
belt located on the storage bracket under
the speed chart. See Figure 36.
4. Stretch the belt onto the top groove in the
spindle and oscillating pulley. See Figure
37.
5.
Close the cover. The motor will not start
until the cover is closed.
6. Loosen the jam nut for the depth stop and
adjust both nuts until they are positioned
at the top of the depth stop rod. Tighten
the jam nut. See Figure 38.

NOTICE
OPERATIONS
7. Choose the insert that has an opening
which is slightly bigger than the sanding
drum chosen. See Figure 39.
8. Insert the sanding drum mandrel into the
chuck and set the chosen table insert into
the pocket in the top of the table. See
Figure 40.
• For general drill bits, small reamers, and
miscellaneous small cutting and sanding
bits, use the
5
⁄8'' and the 1'' table inserts.
• For the 1'' sanding drum, use the 1
3
⁄8''
table insert.
• For the 1
1
⁄2'' sanding drum, use the 1
7
⁄8''
table insert.
• For the 2'' sanding drum, use no table
insert.
9. Loosen and pivot the table so the opening
in the installed table insert is centered to
the drill bit or sanding drum.
10. Adjust the table height to use all of the
grit on the paper as the paper wears.
• If the thickness of the workpiece does not
allow much table movement and the
sanding drum paper is partially worn on
one end, remove the drum from the sand-
ing spindle, turn it end for end and
replace it on the sanding spindle to use
the newer part of the sandpaper.
11. Turn the drill press ON, and begin sanding.
NEVER sand or drill
without the table in
position and the work-
piece secured. Serious
personal injury may
occur.

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 applica-
tion 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.
Periodic maintenance on your Model W1667
8
1
⁄2'' Oscillating Drill Press will ensure its opti-
mum performance. Make a habit of inspecting
your drill press after each use.
Check for the following conditions and repair
or replace when necessary.
1. Loose mounting bolts.
2. Worn switch.
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4. Damaged drive belts.
5. Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
Keep the table and other unpainted surfaces
rust-free with regular applications of products
like Boeshield
®
T-9. For long term storage con-
sider products like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.
NEVER adjust or service
the machine while it is
running. Wait until the
machine is turned off,
unplugged and all working
parts have come to a stop
before proceeding!
NOTICE
Contrary to some beliefs, worn abrasives are
not the equivalent the next finer grit abra-
sive. Discard worn sanding sleeves and avoid
the temptation to use them beyond their
usable life.
MAINTENANCE
Sanding Sleeves
As sanding drums are used, the abrasive sleeve
will quickly become "loaded" with sawdust. If
not removed, this sawdust will harden on the
abrasive surface, rendering the sleeve useless.
Routinely clean the sanding sleeve with a rub-
ber gum abrasive cleaner like the
PRO-STIK
®
cleaners as shown on Page 33
.
Always discard worn sanding sleeves. As abra-
sive sleeves begin to wear, grit will begin to
fall off and cause gouges in the workpiece.
Glue used to hold the grit to the paper will rub
off onto the workpiece interfering with the
final finish.
