WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.

SAFETY FIRST!
READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
SAFETY
1. Thoroughly read the instruction manual before operating your machine. Learn the applications,
2. Keep work area clean and well lighted. Clutter and inadequate lighting invite potential hazards.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL
result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD
result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY
result in minor or moderate injury and/or damage to the machinery.

Standard Safety Instructions
limitations and potential hazards of this machine. Keep manual in a safe, convenient place for future
reference.
3. Ground all tools. If a machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it must be plugged into a threehole grounded electrical outlet or grounded extension cord. If using an adapter to aid in
accommodating a two-hole receptacle, ground using a screw to a known ground.
4. Wear eye protection at all times. Use safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles that meet
the national safety standards, while operating this machine.
5. Avoid dangerous environments. Do not operate this machine in wet or open flame environments.
Airborne dust particles could cause an explosion and severe fire hazard.
6. Ensure all guards are securely in place and in working condition.
7. Make sure switch is in the “OFF” position before connecting power to machine.
8. Keep work area clean, free of clutter, grease, etc.
9. Keep children and visitors away. Visitors should be kept a safe distance away while operating unit.
10. Childproof workshop with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
11. Disconnect machine when cleaning, adjusting or servicing.
-4-
12. Do not force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was designed.
13. Use correct tool. Do not force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
14. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, keep long hair tied up,
etc.
15. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check that
all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed.
16.Use proper extension cord. Examine the
16.
extension cord to ensure it is in good
condition. Use
correct length and gauge of extension cord
needed for your particular needs. The amp
rating of the motor can be found on its
nameplate. If the motor is dual voltage, be
sure to use the amp rating for the voltage
you will be using. If you use an extension
cord with an undersized gauge or one that is
too long, excessive heat will be generated
within the circuit increasing the chance of a
fire or damage to the circuit. Always use an
extension cord that uses a ground pin and
connected ground wire. Immediately replace
a damaged extension cord.

SAFETY
17. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
18. Do not leave machine unattended. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the area.
19. Perform machine maintenance and care. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions
in the manual.
20. Keep machine away from open flame.
Operating machines near pilot lights and/or
open flames creates a high risk if dust is
dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an
ignition source may cause an explosion. Do
not operate the machine in high-risk areas,
including but not limited to, those
mentioned above.
21.If at any time you are experiencing
difficulties performing the intended
operation, stop using the machine! Then
contact our service department or ask a
qualified expert how the operation should
be performed.
22. Habits—good and bad—are hard to break.
Develop good habits in your shop and safety
will become second-nature to you.
Always wear safety glasses or goggles when
operating equipment. Operating this
equipment creates the potential for flying
debris that can cause eye injury. Everyday
glasses or reading glasses only have impact
resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet
the appropriate standards of the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI).

ELECTRICAL
The SHOP FOX®W1675 is prewired for 110
volts. The 2 HP motor draws approximately 15
amps. Choose an outlet with 15 amp circuit
breaker or fuse protection. Remember circuits
SAFETY
being used by other machines at the same time
add to the total electrical load being applied by
this machine. Add up the amperage load ratings
of all machines on the circuit. If this total
amperage load exceeds the amperage rating of
the circuit breaker or fuse, use a different
circuit with a higher amperage rating.
DO NOT modify an existing low-amperage circuit
by only replacing the circuit breaker with a
breaker rated for a higher amperage. The
breaker and the complete circuit must be
replaced by a qualified electrician.
110V Operation
Grounding
Any electrical outlet and
circuit that you plug your
machine into must be
grounded. Serious injury
and/or fire may occur if this
warning is ignored!
Ground this machine! The electrical cord
supplied with the Model W1675 comes with a
grounding pin. Do not remove the pin if your
outlet does not accept a ground pin, see Figure
5. Have the outlet box replaced by a qualified
electrician or have an appropriate adapter
installed.
NOTICE
Make sure when using an adapter, the adapter
is grounded.
Extension Cords
Using extension cords with an undersized gauge
or one that is too long, generates heat in the
cord that may cause fire or circuit damage. If
you must use an extension cord, use the
guidelines below and
correct cord length and gauge. The amp rating
of the motor is 15 amps and can be found on its
nameplate.
•Use a cord rated for Hard Service (Grade S)
•Use a cord that is 100 feet or less only
•Use a cord with a ground wire and pin
•Use only undamaged cords

Shop Preparation
Always make sure that all
entrances to your shop are
locked or that machines
are equipped with safety
lock-out devices to protect
curious children or visitors
from serious injury. Never
allow unsupervised people
in your shop who have not
been fully trained!
• Planer Location: Make sure that where
ever you operate the planer, you face the
planer toward an area where if a work piece
should be projected, bystanders will not be
struck with the workpiece. Take all
necessary safety precautions.
• Working Clearances: Consider your existing
and anticipated needs, size of material to
be processed through each machine, and
space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a
location for your planer.
• Lighting: Make sure the lighting is bright
enough to eliminate shadows and prevent
eye strain.

• Outlets: Electrical circuits must be
dedicated and/or large enough to handle
the amperage requirements of the
machinery. Electrical outlets should be
located near each machine so power or
extension cords are clear of high-traffic
areas. Observe local electrical codes for
proper installation of new lighting, outlets
or circuits and read and understand this
manual.
