WARNING
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.

NOTICE
operation of the equipment.
Standard Safety Instructions
1. Thoroughly read the instruction manual before operating your machine. Learn the applications,
limitations and potential hazards of this machine. Keep manual in a safe, convenient place for
future reference.
2. Keep work area clean and well lighted. Clutter and inadequate lighting invite potential hazards.
3. Ground all tools. If a machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it must be plugged into a
three-hole electrical outlet or grounded extension cord. If using an adapter to aid in accommodating a two-hole receptacle, ground the adapter using a screw to a known ground.
4. Wear eye protection at all times. Use safety goggles with side shields or safety goggles, meeting
the national safety standards, while operating this machine.
5. Avoid dangerous environments. DO NOT operate this machine in wet or open flame environ-
ments. Airborne dust particles could cause an explosion and severe fire hazard.
6. Ensure all guards are securely in place and in working condition.
7. Make sure switch is in the “OFF” position before connecting power to machine.
8. Keep work area clean; free of clutter, grease, etc.
9. Keep children and visitors away. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance away while operat-
ing unit.
10. Childproof your workshop with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
11. Disconnect the machine when cleaning, adjusting, or servicing.
-4-
12. DO NOT force the 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; and tie back hair.
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 feet and less in length, use those that are rated Standard Service
(grade S) or better, and that have a conductor size of 16 AWG. 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.
SAFETY
Additional Safety Instructions for Drill Presses
1. DRILL PRESS SPEEDS. Always operate your drill press at speeds that are appropriate for the drill
bit size and the material that you are drilling.
2. DRILLING HOLES. 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. USING THE CORRECT DRILL BITS. Use only round, hex or triangular shank drill bits, and make sure
the drill bit you are using is tightened properly..
4. SAFE MAINTENANCE. Never do maintenance or change speeds with this machine plugged in.
5. USING SERVICEABLE TOOLS. 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. DRILLING OPERATIONS. Never hold a workpiece by hand while drilling, never drill sheet metal
unless it is clamped securely to the table, and always secure the workpiece to the table before
drilling.
7. SECURING A WORKPIECE. Properly position workpieces to avoid drilling into the table.
8. PROTECTING YOUR EYES. A face guard used or safety goggles is recommended.
9. WORKING HABITS. Habits – good and bad – are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and
safety will become second-nature to you.

ELECTRICAL
110V Operation
The SHOP FOX® W1669 and W1670 Radial Drill
Presses operate at 110 volts only. The motor
supplied with your new drill press is rated at
1⁄2 HP and will draw approximately 5 amps.
When choosing an outlet for this machine, consider 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.
DO NOT modify an existing low-amperage
circuit by only replacing the circuit breaker
with a breaker rated for a higher amperage.
The breaker and the complete circuit must be
replaced by a qualified electrician.
Any electrical outlet and
circuit that you plug your
machine into must be
grounded. Serious injury
and/or fire may occur if this
warning is ignored!
ELECTRICAL
Extension Cords
If you must use an extension cord, use the guidelines below to determine the correct cord length
and gauge. If you use an undersized-gauge extension cord or one that is too long, heat will generate in the cord and fire or circuit damage may
result.
•Use a cord rated for Standard Service (Grade S)
•Use a cord that is 16 gauge and 100 feet or
less
•Use a cord with a ground wire and pin
•Use only undamaged cords
Grounding
Ground this machine! The electrical cord sup-
plied with the W1669 and W1670 Radial Drill
Press comes with a grounding pin. DO NOT
remove the pin if your outlet does not accept a
ground pin, see Figure 4. Have the outlet box
replaced by a qualified electrician or have an
appropriate adapter installed.
Figure 4. Never remove a grounding pin.
Remember, an adapter with a grounding wire
does not guarantee the machine will be grounded. A ground source must always be verified in
the electrical circuit within the wall or conduit.

Base and Column
For maximum stability, secure the W1670
floor-model drill press to a sturdy surface like
a floor or a 4' x 4' x
the W1669 bench-model, secure it to a sturdy
workbench or tool table.
1. UNPLUG THE MACHINE!
• If installing the W1670 to a concrete
floor, do these steps:
a. Position the drill press in a sensible work
area where the base sits flat at all four
corners, or the base may crack when you
tighten the fasteners.
b. Mark and drill the floor, and install the
concrete anchor bolts (not included) (see
Figure 6).
c. Position the base and fasten the base to
the floor carefully as not to crack it.
• If installing the W1670 to a plywood
base, do these steps:
3
⁄4" piece of plywood. For
TIPPING HAZARD!
Never mount a drill press to a
mobile base. Mount the drill
press base to a sturdy surface
or the drill press may tip and
cause injury.
ASSEMBLY
Figure 6. Secure base to floor.
a. Center the drill press base along the back
edge of the 4' x 4' x
(see Figure 7).
b. At each corner of the drill press base, drill
the plywood.
c. Secure the base to the plywood with four
3/8" diameter bolts, washers, and nuts
(not included).
• If installing the W1669 to a tool table
or workbench, do these steps:
a. Position the base on a bench or tool table
capable of supporting approximately 100
lbs.
b. Drill two mounting holes (Figure 8), and
secure the base to the table with the two
supplied carriage bolts and wing nuts.
2. Place the column on the base, and install the
four column bolts supplied.

Table Support
The W1669 comes with a one geared table
bracket. The W1670 comes with a geared table
bracket and table support arm, which allows
the distance between the column and table to
be adjusted. No table support parts are interchangeable between the two drill presses.
To install the table support assembly, do
these steps:
Insert the table lock lever through the un-
