This manual provides critical safety instructions on the proper setup, operation, maintenance, and service of this machine/tool. Save this document, refer to it often, and use it to instruct other operators.

Failure to read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual may result in fire or serious personal injury—including amputation, electrocution, or death.

The owner of this machine/tool is solely responsible for its safe use. This responsibility includes but is not limited to proper installation in a safe environment, personnel training and usage authorization, proper inspection and maintenance, manual availability and comprehension, application of safety devices, cutting/sanding/grinding tool integrity, and the usage of personal protective equipment.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property damage from negligence, improper training, machine modifications or misuse.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• 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 ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can

be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live

machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow an electrician or qualified service personnel to do electrical installation or repair work, and always disconnect power before accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect

machine from power supply BEFORE making adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. This eliminates the risk of injury from unintended startup or contact with live electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved

safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety glasses.

machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.

Tools left on machinery can become dangerous projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine. Always verify removal before starting!

Only use machine for its intended purpose—never make modifications without prior approval from Woodstock International. Modifying machine or using it differently than intended will void the warranty and may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that leads to serious personal injury or death!

Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.

Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

Additional Safety for Drill Presses

Serious injury or death can occur from getting clothing, jewelry, or long hair entangled in rotating spindle or bit/cutting tool. Contact with rotating bit/cutting tool can result in severe cuts or amputation of fingers. Flying metal chips can cause blindness or eye injuries. Broken bits/cutting tools, unsecured workpieces, chuck keys, or other adjustment tools thrown from rotating spindle can strike nearby operator or bystanders with great force. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.

WEARING PROPER PPE. Flying chips created

by drilling can cause eye injuries or blindness. Always wear a face shield in addition to safety glasses. Always keep hands and fingers away from drill bit/cutting tool. Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden slip could cause hand to move into bit/cutting tool.

AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry, and tie back long hair. Keep all guards in place and secure. Always allow spindle to stop on its own. DO NOT stop spindle using your hand or any other object.

REMOVING ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Chuc k key, drawbar wrench, and other tools left on machine can become deadly projectiles when spindle is started. Remove all loose items or tools used on spindle immediately after use.

SECURING BIT/CUTTING TOOL. Firmly secure bit/ cutting tool so it does not fly out of spindle during operation or startup.

SECURING TABLE AND HEADSTOCK. To avoid accidental contact with tool/bit, tighten all table and headstock locks before operating drill.

CORRECT SPINDLE SPEED. Using wrong spindle speed can cause bits/cutting tools to break and strike operator or bystanders. Follow recommended speeds and feeds for each size/type of bit/cutting tool and workpiece material.

WORKPIECE PREPARATION. To avoid loss of workpiece control, DO NOT drill material with an uneven surface on the table, unless a suitable support is used. To avoid impact injuries, make sure workpiece is free of nails or foreign objects in area to be drilled.

CLEANING MACHINE SAFELY. with tool/bit, n turning. To avoid cuts and eye injuries, DO NOT clear chips by hand or with compressed air—use a brush or vacuum instead.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. To electrocution or injury from unexpected startup, make sure drill is turned OFF, disconnected from power, and all moving parts have come to a complete stop before changing bits/cutting tools or starting any inspection, adjustment, or maintenance procedure.

ELECTRICAL

This machine must be connected to the correct size and type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage may occur. Read through this section to determine if an adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install one before you can connect the machine to power.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the fullload current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:

Model W1668/W1848 (Mfd. Since 08/16)

Machine Placement

• Floor & Workbench Load: Refer to

the Machine Data Sheet for weight and footprint specifications for your machine. Some residential floors (W1848) and workbenches (W1668) may require additional reinforcement to support the machine.

• Working Clearances: Consider existing and

anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery when establishing a location for your machine. See Figure 4 for the minimum working clearances of the Model W1668/ W1848.

INJURY HAZARD! Untrained

SETUP

users can injure themselves with this machine. Restrict access to machine when you are away, especially if it is installed where children are present.

Cleaning Machine

The table and other unpainted parts of your machine are coated with a waxy grease that protects them from corrosion during shipment. Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorinebased solvents such as brake parts cleaner or acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

NEVER clean with gasoline or other petroleumbased solvents. Most have low flash points, which make them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used. Serious personal injury may occur if this warning is ignored!

ALWAYS work in wellventilated areas far from possible ignition sources when using solvents to clean machinery. Many solvents are toxic when inhaled or ingested. Use care when disposing of waste rags and towels to be sure they DO NOT create fire or environmental hazards.
