If you must use an extension cord with the Model
W1694, please follow these requirements:
•Use a cord rated for Standard Service
(Grade S).
•Use a 14 AWG cord that is 100 feet or less
•Use a cord with a ground pin
•Use an undamaged cord only
The SHOP FOX®Model W1694 2 HP, 110 volt
motor draws approximately 12 amps.
Since other machines may be using the same
circuit, make sure the circuit, circuit breaker,
or fuse can carry the total load without tripping.
If the total amperage load of all machines and
the jointer 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 break-
er and the complete circuit must be replaced by
a qualified electrician, otherwise the wires can
overheat and cause a fire.

Ground this machine! The electrical cord sup-
plied with the SHOP FOX®Model W1694 Jointer
has a three prong plug for grounded outlets. See
Figure 6. 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. NEVER
cut the ground pin off so your jointer will plug
into a non-grounded receptacle.
NOTICE
When using an electrical plug adapter, make
sure the adapter is grounded.
Serious injury or fire may
occur if you plug this
machine into a receptacle
that is not grounded.
Connect this machine to
grounded outlets only!
Remember, an adapter with a grounding wire
does not guarantee the jointer is grounded. A
ground source must always be verified in the
electrical circuit within the wall or conduit.
