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 W1701 is prewired for 110 volt
operation. The motor supplied with your new Machine
Type is rated at 1 HP and will draw approximately 13
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 15 amps.
We recommend connecting this machine to a dedicated
circuit with a verified ground, using the circuit breaker
size given below. Never replace a circuit breaker with one
of higher amperage without consulting a qualified electri-
cian to ensure compliance with wiring codes.
If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area or
you plan to connect your machine to a shared circuit,
you may create a fire hazard—consult a qualified elec-
trician to reduce this risk.

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.
