Extension Cords
Grounding
This machine must be grounded! See Figure 1A.
The electrical cord supplied with the W1676
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. Please
note: when using an adapter, the adapter must
be grounded.
An adapter with a grounding wire does not guar-
antee machine will be grounded. Ground source
must be verified.
The Shop Fox ® W1676 is prewired for 110 volts.
The motor supplied with your new machine is
rated at 1 H.P. and will draw approximately 14
amps. When choosing an outlet for this machine,
consider using one with a 15 amp circuit break-
er or fuse. Keep in mind that a circuit being used
by other machines or tools at the same time will
add to the electrical load being applied to the
circuit. Add up the load ratings of all machines
on the circuit. If this number exceeds the rating
of the circuit breaker or fuse, use a different
circuit.

This equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any
existing electrical outlet
and circuit you intend to
plug into is actually ground-
ed. Under no circumstances
should the grounding pin
from any three-pronged
plug be removed. Serious
injury may occur.
