Extension Cords

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.

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.

Figure 7. Typical 110V 3-prong plug and

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.
