110V Operation

The SHOP FOX® Model W1701 is prewired for 110 volt operation. The motor supplied with your new Machine Type is rated at 1 HP and will draw approximately 13 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 15 amps.

We recommend connecting this machine to a dedicated circuit with a verified ground, using the circuit breaker size given below. Never replace a circuit breaker with one of higher amperage without consulting a qualified electri- cian to ensure compliance with wiring codes.

If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area or you plan to connect your machine to a shared circuit, you may create a fire hazard—consult a qualified elec- trician to reduce this risk.

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 12 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.

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.
