ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

SAFETY

110V Operation

The Shop Fox® W1668 131⁄4" Oscillating Drill Press can only be operated at 110 volts. The motor supplied with your new drill press is rated at 3⁄4 horse power and will draw approximately 9 amps. When choosing an outlet for this machine, consider using one with a 15 amp cir- cuit 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 rat- ings of all machines on the circuit. If this num- ber exceeds the rating of the circuit breaker or fuse, use a different outlet.

Extension Cords

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

Grounding

This machine must be grounded! See Figure 1. The electrical cord supplied with the Shop Fox® W1668 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 with a proven ground source. An adapter does not ensure a grounded system if the adapter is not grounded.

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 sep- arate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the outlet to a known ground. Under no cir- cumstances should the grounding pin from any three-pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may occur.
