ELECTRICAL

220V Operation

The SHOP FOX® MODEL M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill oper- ates at 220 volt single-phase only. Only connect this machine to a dedicated circuit (wire, breaker, plug, receptacle) with a verified ground, using the recommend- ed circuit size and NEMA 6-20 plug/receptacle (Figure 6) listed at the bottom of this page.

Never replace a circuit breaker with one of higher amper- age without consulting a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with wiring codes. If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area or plan to connect your machine to a shared circuit, you may create a fire haz- ard—consult a qualified electrician to reduce this risk.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord for 220V operation. When it is necessary to use an extension cord, use the following guidelines:

Use cords rated for Standard Service

Never exceed a length of 50 feet

Ensure cord has a ground wire and pin

Do not use cords in need of repair

Grounding

This machine must be grounded! Verify that any exist- ing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into is actually grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to run a separate copper grounding wire, of the appropri- ate size, from the outlet to a known ground. Under no circumstances should you connect your machine to an ungrounded power source or electrocution or severe shock could occur.

DO NOT attempt to work on your electrical system if you are unsure about electrical codes and wiring! Seek assistance from a qualified elec- trician. Ignoring this warning can cause electrocution!

TURN OFF and LOCK your master power switch so no power is available to the lathe/mill before connecting electrical OFF wires! If you ignore this warning serious electrical shock may occur, causing injury or

death!
