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 M1036 is prewired for 110 volt
operation. The motor supplied with your new Micro Mill
is rated at 0.2 HP and will draw approximately 2 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 10 amps.
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 to the circuit. Add up the load ratings
of all machines on the circuit. If the total amp load
exceeds the rating of the circuit breaker or fuse, use a
different circuit.

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.
