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 shield used with safety glasses is recommended.
9. Always clamp workpiece securely to table before drilling. Never hold a workpiece by hand while
drilling.
10. Habits – good and bad – are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become
second-nature to you.
-
5-
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.
Additional Safety Instructions For Drill Presses
SAFETY
-6-
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.
110V Operation
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
When it is necessary to use an extension cord,
use the following guidelines:
•Use cords rated for Hard Service
•Never exceed a length of 100 feet
•Use cords with 14 ga. wire or bigger
•Insure cord has a ground wire and pin
•Do not use cords in need of repair
Extension Cords
Grounding
This machine must be grounded! See Figure 1.
The electrical cord supplied with the W1680
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. Please
note: when using an adapter, the adapter must
be grounded.
The Shop Fox
®
W1680 Drill Press is supplied for
110 volt operation, only. The motor supplied
with your new drill press is rated at 1 horse
power and will draw approximately 10 amps.
When choosing an outlet for this machine, con-
sider using one with a 15 amp circuit 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 ratings of all
machines on the circuit. If this number exceeds
the rating of the circuit breaker or fuse, use a
different outlet.

Figure 18.
Chuck components identification.
The drill chuck is attached to the drill spindle by
means of a drill chuck arbor. Matched tapers on
the arbor and the back of the chuck create an
almost permanent assembly when properly
joined. To assemble the drill chuck and mount it
to the spindle, carefully follow the instructions
below:
1. The drill chuck, arbor and spindle socket
must be thoroughly cleaned before assem-
bly. It is recommended that mineral spirits
be used for this task. Refer to the safety
warnings on the container of the mineral
spirits. Failure to clean the mating surfaces
may result in separation and wear.
2. Use the chuck key provided to adjust the
jaws of the chuck until they are well inside
the drill chuck body.

ASSEMBLY
Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-
based solvents to remove this protective
coating. These products generally have low
flash points which makes them extremely
flammable. A risk of explosion and burning
exists if these products are used. Serious
personal injury may occur.
Many of the solvents commonly used to
clean machinery can be highly flammable,
and toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always
work in well-ventilated areas far from
potential ignition sources when dealing
with solvents. Use care when disposing of
waste rags and towels to be sure they do
not create fire or environmental hazards.
Keep children and animals safely away
when cleaning and assembling this machine.
DO NOT use a steel hammer on the drill chuck
to seat it onto the spindle. Damage will occur
to the chuck and/or spindle which may make
them unusable or unsafe.

desired amount.
2. Always lock the support bracket in place
before operating machine.
Adjust angle:
1. Turn the nut indicated by the arrow in
Figure 30,
in a clockwise direction
.
This
will draw the location pin out of the casting.
Once loose, pull pin and nut out and set it
in a safe place until needed.
2. Loosen large bolt in the center of the sup-
port bracket.
3.
Rotate the bracket to the desired angle. Use
the scale on the side of the bracket or pro-
tractor to set angle. Lock in place by tight-
ening bolt.
When repositioning table to 0˚ position, loosen
the large bolt in the center of the support cast-
ing. Rotate the support casting until the degree
scale reads 0˚. Carefully tap the location pin
back into the hole from which it came until it
stops. Unscrew the nut on the location pin until
the it is flush with the end of the threads. This
will protect the threads when you tap it into
place with a hammer. Turn the nut clockwise
until it is snug against the casting and then
tighten the large bolt in the center. The table is
now set to the factory pre-set angle.

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 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.
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model
W1680 Drill Press will ensure its optimum per-
formance. Make a habit of inspecting your drill
press each time you use it. Check for the fol-
lowing 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.
General
Table And Base
Tables can be kept rust-free with regular appli-
cations of products like Boeshield
®
T-9. For long
term storage you may want to consider products
like Kleen Bore's Rust Guardit™.
Disconnect power to the
machine when perform-
