110V Operation
®
The Shop Fox
W1668 13
Press can only be operated at 110 volts. The
motor supplied with your new drill press is rated
3
at
⁄
horse power and will draw approximately
4
9 amps. When choosing an outlet for this
machine, consider using one with a 15 amp cir-
cuit 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 drill press. 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 outlet.
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 1.
The electrical cord supplied with the Shop Fox
W1668 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 with a proven ground source. An
adapter does not ensure a grounded system if
the adapter is not grounded.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

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. Serious
injury may occur.
