Extension Cords
Grounding
This machine must be grounded! The electrical
cord supplied with the Model W1679 comes with
a grounding pin. Do not remove it. See Figure 7.
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 the machine will be grounded. A ground
source must be verified.
The Shop Fox ® W1679 is prewired for 110 volts.
The motor supplied with your new machine is
rated at 1 HP 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. When choosing plug and outlet, use a
NEMA-style 5-15 as shown in Figure 6. Keep in
mind that a circuit being used by other machines
or tools at the same time will add to the elec-
trical load being applied by the machine. 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.

Do not remove the ground-
ing pin from any plug and
always make sure all wiring
to the machine is grounded
before operating. Any elec-
trical outlet and circuit that
you plug your machine into
must be grounded. Serious
injury may occur if this
warning is ignored!
