220V Operation

The SHOP FOX MODEL M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill oper-
®
ates at 220 volt single-phase only. Only connect this
machine to a dedicated circuit (wire, breaker, plug,
receptacle) with a verified ground, using the recommend-
ed circuit size and NEMA 6-20 plug/receptacle (Figure 6)
listed at the bottom of this page.
Never replace a circuit breaker with one of higher amper-
age without consulting a qualified electrician to ensure
compliance with wiring codes. If you are unsure about
the wiring codes in your area or plan to connect your
machine to a shared circuit, you may create a fire haz-
ard—consult a qualified electrician to reduce this risk.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord for 220V
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 50 feet
• Ensure cord has a ground wire and pin
• Do not use cords in need of repair

Grounding

This machine must be grounded! Verify that any exist-
ing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into
is actually grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to
run a separate copper grounding wire, of the appropri-
ate size, from the outlet to a known ground. Under no
circumstances should you connect your machine to an
ungrounded power source or electrocution or severe
shock could occur.
