ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

ELECTRICITY

110V Operation

The SHOP FOX® Model W1713 motor draws approximately 0.8 amps.

Since other machines may be using the same circuit, make sure the circuit, circuit breaker, or fuse can carry the total load without tripping. If the total amperage load of all machines and the scroll saw exceeds the amperage rating of the circuit breaker or fuse, use a different cir- cuit that can carry the load.

DO NOT modify an existing low-amperage circuit by only replacing the circuit breaker with a breaker rated for a higher amperage. The break- er and the complete circuit must be replaced by a qualified electrician, otherwise the wires can overheat and cause a fire.

Extension Cords

If you must use an extension cord with the Model W1713, please follow these requirements:

•Use a cord rated for Standard Service (Grade S).

•Use a 16 AWG cord that is 100 feet or less •Use a cord with a ground pin

•Use an undamaged cord only

Grounding

Serious injury or fire may

occur if you plug this

machine into a receptacle that is not grounded. Connect this machine to grounded outlets only!

Ground this machine! The electrical cord sup- plied with the SHOP FOX® Model W1713 Scroll saw has a three prong plug for grounded outlets. See Figure 1. If your power receptacle does not have a ground pin hole, have the receptacle replaced by a qualified electrician, or have an appropriate adapter installed and grounded properly. NEVER cut the ground pin off so your scroll saw will plug into a non-grounded recep- tacle.

NOTICE

When using an electrical plug adapter, make sure the adapter is grounded.

Remember, an adapter with a grounding wire does not guarantee the scroll saw is grounded. A ground source must always be verified in the electrical circuit within the wall or conduit.
