amperage load of all machines and the shaper

exceeds the amperage rating of the circuit
breaker or fuse, use a different circuit that can
carry the load.	When using an electrical plug adapter, make
	sure the adapter is grounded.

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, otherwise the wires can overheat and cause a fire.

Extension Cords

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

•Use a cord rated for Standard Service (Grade S) rated to carry 20 amps or more •Use a cord that is 100 feet or less •Use a cord with a ground pin

•Use an undamaged cord only

Figure 8. NEMA-style L6-20 plug and receptacle.

Grounding

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

Ground this machine! The electrical cord supplied with the SHOP FOX® Model W1702 Shaper has a

ground wire for a grounded plug. See Figure 8. 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.
