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
READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
Standard Safety Instructions
1. Thoroughly read the instruction manual before operating your machine. Learn the applications,
limitations and potential hazards of this machine. Keep manual in a safe, convenient place for future
reference.
2. Keep work area clean and well lighted. Clutter and inadequate lighting invite potential hazards.
3. Ground all tools. If a machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it must be plugged into a three-
hole grounded electrical receptacle 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 at a safe distance while operating unit.
10. Childproof workshop with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
11. Disconnect machine when cleaning, adjusting or servicing.
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 cre-
ates 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.
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).
SAFETY
-6-
1. Do not use dust collector for anything except wood dust. Materials such as liquids, metal shav-
ings, metal dust, screws, glass, plastic or rock can cause sparks when coming into contact with any
part of the collection system.
2. Ground your dust collector along all plastic components. The connection of bare 12 ga. copper
wire on all plastic hoses, fittings and blast gates to all machines will help reduce the occurrence of
static build up and discharge.
3. Do not place your hands, lumber or tools near inlet opening while machine is running or con-
nected to power.
4. Always wear a respirator and safety glasses when removing, emptying or replacing collection
bags. Secure bags tightly to dust collector to avoid bags from “blowing off.”
5. Be aware that certain woods may cause an allergic reaction in people and animals, especially
when exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know what type of wood dust you will be exposed to, the
possibility of a allergic reaction and always wear an approved respirator.
6. 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.
7. Never use tools that are in poor condition. Inspect dust collector for bent fins, dents, ripped bags
and unusual sounds before connecting machine to power and operating. Correct any problems before
use.
8. Never allow steel to come into contact with impeller. Impact with any hard material may result
in sparks which may cause fire. Be mindful of any situation that results in a risk of fire.
Additional Safety Instructions For Dust Collector
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to follow guidelines could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.
It is absolutely critical that
you read and understand
this entire instruction
manual before performing
any operations with your
machine. Serious personal
injury may occur if safety
and operational information is not understood and
followed. Do not risk your
safety by not reading!

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
220V Operation
The Shop Fox®Model W1687 requires a 220V single-phase power source for operation. Also, you
will need a NEMA-style L6-20 plug as shown in
Figure 6. The motor supplied with your new
machine is rated at 3 HP and will draw approximately 18 amps during 220 volt operation. When
choosing a receptacle for this machine, consider
using one with a 20 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 wires or circuit breaker/fuse, use a different circuit.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord
for 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 W1687 does not
come with a 220 volt plug. Use a plug with a
ground pin. 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.
NOTICE
Never replace the circuit breaker with one
rated at a higher amperage or damage to the
circuit may occur.
Figure 6. NEMA-style L6-20 plug and
receptacle.
Any electrical receptacle
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 may occur if
this warning is ignored!
