READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE

FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL

RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY

SAFETY FIRST!

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 twohole receptacle, ground using a screw to a known ground.

4. Wear eye protection at all times. Use safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles, meeting the

national safety standards, while operating this machine.

5. Avoid dangerous environment. Do not operate this machine in wet or open flame environments.

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 a safe distance away while operating

unit.

10. Childproof workshop with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about proper operation of the equipment.

NOTICE

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 mentioned above.

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 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 separate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the outlet to a known ground. Under no circumstances 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

W1668 131⁄4" Oscillating Drill Press can only be operated at 110 volts. The motor supplied with your new drill press is rated at

⁄4 horse power and will draw approximately 9 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.
