ELECTRICAL
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

The SHOP FOX
®
Model W1702 Shaper 220 volt
motor draws approximately 18 amps. Purchase a
NEMA-style L6-20 plug and receptacle for the
power supply circuit connection.
Since other machines may be using the same
circuit, make sure the circuit, circuit breaker,
or fuse can carry a 20 amp load. If the total
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.
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.
Grounding
NOTICE
When using an electrical plug adapter, make
sure the adapter is grounded.
Any electrical outlet and
circuit that you plug your
machine into must be
grounded. Serious injury
and/or fire may occur if this
warning is ignored!
ELECTRICAL
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.
