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 extension cord to ensure it is in good condition. Use the chart below to determine the 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. Never use an extension cord that does not have a ground pin and connected ground wire. Immediately replace an extension cord if it shows any signs of damage.

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.

Operating this equipment has the potential for flying debris to cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. 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).

receptacle.

Extension Cords

When it is necessary to use an extension cord, use the following guidelines:

• Use cords rated for Hard Service

• Never exceed a length of 100 feet

• Use cords with 14 ga. wire or bigger

(12 ga., 10 ga., etc.)

• Ensure cord has a ground wire and pin

• Do not use cords in need of repair

Grounding

This machine must be grounded! The electrical plug supplied with the Model W1686 comes with a grounding pin as shown in Figure 1. Do not remove it. If your receptacle 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 guarantee the machine will be grounded. A ground source must be verified.

110V Operation

The SHOP FOX®W1686 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 a circuit 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 electrical 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 wires or circuit breaker/fuse, use a different circuit.

Verify that your current household circuit wiring is capable of handling the current load of this machine. A qualified electrician may need to install a new circuit with wiring capable of handling a 14 amperage draw. Do not attempt to modify an existing circuit by replacing the circuit breaker with one rated for a higher amperage.

Any electrical outlet and circuit that you plug your machine into must be grounded. Never remove the grounding pin from any plug and always make sure all wiring to the machine is grounded before operating. Serious injury make occur if this warning is ignored!

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord with 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the placement of your machinery and installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords. If you must use an extension cord, make sure it is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. The extension cord must always contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged.

Grounding

This machine must be grounded! The electrical cord supplied with the Model W1686 does not come with a 220 volt plug. Use a plug with a ground pin as shown in Figure 2. If your receptacle does not accommodate a ground pin, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or have an appropriate adapter installed and grounded properly. An adapter with a grounding wire does not guarantee the machine will be grounded. A ground source must be verified.

220V Operation

The SHOP FOX®W1686 can also be operated at 220 volts. To do this, consult with the wiring diagram in the back of this manual. Also, you will need a NEMA-style 6-15 plug and receptacle as shown in Figure 2.

The motor supplied with your new machine is rated at 1 HP and will draw approximately 7 amps during 220 volt operation. When choosing a circuit for this machine, consider using one with a 10 amp double-pole 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 wires or circuit breaker/fuse, use a different circuit.
