SAFETY
-8-
When it is necessary to use an extension cord,
follow the guidelines below:
• Use cords rated for Standard Service
• Never use cords longer than 100 feet
• Use cords with 16 gauge wire
• Always use cords with a grounding pin
• Never use damaged cords
This machine must be grounded! If your outlet
does not accommodate a ground pin (Figure
2), have the outlet replaced by a qualified
electrician or have an appropriate adapter
installed and grounded properly. An adapter
with a grounding wire does not guarantee that
the machine will be grounded. A ground source
must be verified!
The SHOP FOX
®
W1708 has a 1 HP, 110V, 60
Hz motor that draws approximately 10 amps
under load.
Use a 15 amp circuit breaker in a circuit that
has wiring rated to handle this amperage draw.
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. Add up the load
ratings of all the machines on the circuit. If
this number exceeds the rating of the circuit
breaker or wiring, use a different circuit.
Figure 2. 110V plug and outlet.
DO NOT replace the circuit breaker with
one rated at a higher amperage or damage
to the circuit may occur.
NEVER remove the grounding
pin from any plug and always
make sure all wiring to the
machine is grounded before
operating. Any electrical
outlet and circuit you plug
your machine into must be
grounded. Serious injury may
occur if this warning is
ignored!
