M1036 Micro Mill

ELECTRICAL

110V Operation

ELECTRICAL

The SHOP FOX® Model M1036 is prewired for 110 volt operation. The motor supplied with your new Micro Mill is rated at 0.2 HP and will draw approximately 2 amps. A 5-15 plug is included for your machine and is intended to be plugged into a matching 5-15 receptacle.

Connect your machine to a circuit (wire, breaker, plug, receptacle) that is rated for at least 10 amps.

Keep in mind that a circuit being used by other machines or tools at the same time will add to the total load being applied to the circuit. Add up the load ratings

of all machines on the circuit. If the total amp load exceeds the rating of the circuit breaker or fuse, use a different circuit.

Extension Cords

When it is necessary to use an extension cord, use the following guidelines:

Use cords rated for Standard Service

Never exceed a length of 100 feet

Use cords with 16 ga. wire or bigger

Ensure cord has a ground wire and pin

Do not use cords in need of repair

Grounding

This machine must be grounded! The electrical cord sup- plied with this machine 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.

Note: When using an adapter, the adapter must be grounded.

Figure 2. Typical 110V 3-prong plug and

outlet.

This equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical out- let and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12 AWG copper grounding wire from the outlet to a known ground. Under no circum- stances should the grounding pin be removed from any three-pronged plug or serious injury may occur.
