SAFETY
ELECTRICAL
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
A.W.G. copper grounding wire from
the outlet to a known ground. Under
no circumstances should the ground-
ing pin from any three-pronged plug
be removed or serious injury may
occur.
110V Operation
When it is necessary to use an extension cord, use the
following guidelines:
• Use cords rated for standard service.
• Never exceed a length of 100 feet.
• Use cords with 14 ga. wire or bigger.
• Insure cord has a ground wire and pin.
• Do not use cords in need of repair.
Extension Cords
Grounding
This machine must be grounded ! The electrical cord sup-
plied with the Model M1051 comes with a grounding pin.
Do not remove it (see Figure 2). If your outlet does not
accommodate a ground pin, have it replaced by a quali-
fied electrician or have an appropriate adapter installed.
Note: When using an adapter, the adapter must be
grounded.
The SHOP FOX ® M1051 operates at 110 volts. The motor
supplied with this machine is rated at 1 ⁄
3
HP. When
choosing an outlet for this machine, consider using one
with a 15 amp circuit breaker or fuse. 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 this number exceeds the rating of the circuit
breaker or fuse, use a different circuit.

pin!
