Oscillating Feature

ADJUSTMENTS

One of the great features of the W1668 Drill Press is its capability for oscillating sanding. The drill press can be converted from drilling opera- tions to sanding operations in just a few steps.

1.Unplug the drill press and remove the spindle handles.

2.Install the round rubber belt onto the top groove in the spindle pulley and the oscil- lating pulley located between the idler pul- ley and the spindle pulley. The belt will stretch for this purpose. Figure 22.

4.Remove the 3 spindle handles. If left in place, the operator may be struck by them while the spindle travels up and down.

3.Close the cover. The motor will not start until the cover is closed.

4.Loosen the knob for depth stop.

If the depth stop is left adjusted for a shallow hole, damage will occur to the oscillating mechanism. Check and adjust depth stop before using oscillating feature.
