110V.Operation
The SHOP FOX
W1669 and W1670 Radial Drill
®
Presses operate at 110 volts only. The motor
supplied with your new drill press is rated at
1⁄2 HP and will draw approximately 5 amps.
When choosing an outlet for this machine, con-
sider 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 drill press. Add up the load ratings of all
machines on the circuit. If this number exceeds
the rating of the circuit breaker or fuse, use a
different outlet.
DO.NOT modify an existing low-amperage
circuit by only replacing the circuit breaker
with a breaker rated for a higher amperage.
The breaker and the complete circuit must be
replaced by a qualified electrician.
Extension.Cords
If you must use an extension cord, use the guide-
lines below to determine the correct cord length
and gauge. If you use an undersized-gauge exten-
sion cord or one that is too long, heat will gener-
ate in the cord and fire or circuit damage may
result.
•Use.a.cord.rated.for.Standard.Service.(Grade.S)
•Use.a.cord.that.is.16.gauge.and.100.feet.or.........
..less
•Use.a.cord.with.a.ground.wire.and.pin
•Use.only.undamaged.cords
Grounding
Ground.this.machine! The electrical cord sup-
plied with the W1669 and W1670 Radial Drill
Press comes with a grounding pin. DO.NOT
remove the pin if your outlet does not accept a
ground pin, see Figure.4. Have the outlet box
replaced by a qualified electrician or have an
appropriate adapter installed.
Remember, an adapter with a grounding wire
does not guarantee the machine will be ground-
ed. A ground source must always be verified in
the electrical circuit within the wall or conduit.
