220V Operation
The SHOP FOX
®
Model W1709 has a 7
1
⁄2 HP,
220V single-phase sanding motor, a
1
⁄2 HP,
220V feed motor, and a
1
⁄3 HP table lift motor.
Use a 50 amp circuit breaker and 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 machines on the circuit. If this
number exceeds the rating of the circuit
breaker or wiring, use a different circuit.
DO NOT replace the circuit breaker with
one rated at a higher amperage or damage
to the circuit may occur.
Any electrical outlet and
circuit that you plug your
machine into must be
grounded. Never remove
the grounding pin from any
plug, and always make sure
all wiring to the machine is
grounded before operating.
Serious injury may occur if
this warning is ignored!
DO NOT use an extension cord for 220V high
amperage industrial shop machines. We
recommend following all local electrical codes
and using a direct hard wired power supply
that is protected by a circuit breaker and is
equipped with a kill switch lever that can be
locked in the OFF position.
Extension Cords
Grounding
This machine must be grounded! Hardwire this
machine into a power supply circuit that
contains a ground circuit. If you have any
questions about correct electrical installation,
contact a qualified electrician for assistance to
make sure all connections are safe and adhere
to your local electrical codes.
TURN-OFF and LOCK
your master power
switch so no power is
available to the sander
before connecting
electrical wires! If you
ignore this warning
serious electrical shock
may occur causing injury
or death!
