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 environments. 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
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.

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.
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 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.
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, 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.
