ELECTRICAL

110V Operation

The SHOP FOX® Model W1690 Deluxe Ceiling Mounted Air Cleaner uses a 110V, single-phase,

1⁄5 HP motor that draws approximately 3 amps at the high speed setting.

Make sure the supply circuit, circuit breaker, or fuse can carry the additional 3 amp load since other machines may be using the same circuit. If the total amperage load of all machines and the air cleaner unit exceeds the amperage rating of the circuit breaker or fuse, use a different circuit 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 breaker and the complete circuit must be replaced by a qualified electrician.

Grounding

Any electrical outlet and

circuit that you plug your

machine into must be grounded. Serious injury and/or fire may occur if this warning is ignored!

Ground this machine! The electrical cord supplied with the Model W1690 Air Cleaner has a ground pin. 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.

ELECTRICAL

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord with most equipment because the cord can generate heat that may cause fire or circuit damage. If you must use an extension cord, use the guidelines below.

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

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

•Use an undamaged cord only

NOTICE

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

NEVER cut the ground pin off so your air cleaner unit will plug into a non-grounded receptacle. See Figure 1. Remember, an adapter with a grounding wire does not guarantee the air cleaner unit is grounded. A ground source must always be verified in the electrical circuit within the wall or conduit.

Figure 1. NEVER cut the ground pin off so the plug can fit into a non-grounded receptacle.
