110V Operation
The Shop Fox® W1676 is prewired for 110 volts. The motor supplied with your new machine is rated at 1 H.P. and will draw approximately 14 amps. When choosing an outlet for this machine, consider using one with a 15 amp circuit break- er 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 to the circuit. 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 circuit.
