If you must use an extension cord with the Model
W1713, please follow these requirements:

•Use a cord rated for Standard Service

(Grade S).

•Use a 16 AWG cord that is 100 feet or less
•Use a cord with a ground pin
•Use an undamaged cord only

The

SHOP FOX

®

Model W1713 motor draws

approximately 0.8 amps.

Since other machines may be using the same
circuit, make sure the circuit, circuit breaker,
or fuse can carry the total load without tripping.
If the total amperage load of all machines and
the scroll saw exceeds the amperage rating of
the circuit breaker or fuse, use a different cir-
cuit that can carry the load.

DO NOT modify an existing low-amperage circuit
by only replacing the circuit breaker with a
breaker rated for a higher amperage. The break-
er and the complete circuit must be replaced by
a qualified electrician, otherwise the wires can
overheat and cause a fire.

Ground this machine! The electrical cord sup-
plied with the

SHOP FOX

®

Model W1713 Scroll

saw has a three prong plug for grounded outlets.
See

Figure 1. If your power receptacle does not

have a ground pin hole, have the receptacle
replaced by a qualified electrician, or have an
appropriate adapter installed and grounded
properly. NEVER cut the ground pin off so your
scroll saw will plug into a non-grounded recep-
tacle.

NOTICE

When using an electrical plug adapter, make
sure the adapter is grounded.

Serious injury or fire may
occur if you plug this
machine into a receptacle
that is not grounded.
Connect this machine to
grounded outlets only!

Remember, an adapter with a grounding wire
does not guarantee the scroll saw is grounded. A
ground source must always be verified in the
electrical circuit within the wall or conduit.
