110V Operation
The Shop Fox
®
W1673 Bandsaw is prewired for
110 volt operation. The motor supplied with
your new bandsaw is rated at 1
draw approximately 16 amps. When choosing an
outlet 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 rat-
ings of all machines on the circuit. If this num-
ber exceeds the rating of the circuit breaker or
fuse, use a different circuit.
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
•Insure cord has a ground wire and pin
•Do not use cords in need of repair
Grounding
This machine must be grounded! See Figure 1B.
The electrical cord supplied with the W1673
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.
Please note: When using an adapter, the
adapter must be grounded.

This equipment must be grounded. Verify
that any existing electrical outlet and circuit
you intend to plug into is actually grounded.
If it is not, it will be necessary to run a sep-
arate 12 A.W.G. copper grounding wire from
the outlet to a known ground. Under no cir-
cumstances should the grounding pin from
any three-pronged plug be removed or seri-
ous injury may occur.
