Changing Drill Bits

The chuck supplied with your W1669 or W1670 drill press accepts drill bits from 1/32" to 5⁄8''. Follow the steps below to safely swap drill bits or sanding spindles.

TURN OFF and UNPLUG the drill press, and wait until all working parts are stopped before you attempt to change drill bits. Otherwise, severe injury may occur!

To change a drill bit or sanding drum, do these steps:

1.UNPLUG THE DRILL PRESS!

2.Use the chuck key to remove the old drill bit, and open the chuck wide enough to accept the new bit or the sanding drum mandrel (see Figure 33).

3.Install the bit or mandrel so the chuck jaws will grab as much of the bit or mandrel shank as it can.

If you are installing a small drill bit, make sure it is held between three jaws instead of only two, and NEVER allow a chuck to grab the fluted body of drill bits.

4.Using any of the three key locations, tighten the chuck with the chuck key and remove the key (see Figure 34).
