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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
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
Extension Cords
Grounding
This machine must be grounded! See Figure 1.
The electrical cord supplied with the W1666
does not come with a plug. Use a plug with a
ground pin. If your outlet does not accommo-
date a ground pin, have it replaced by a quali-
fied electrician or have an appropriate adapter
installed and grounded properly. An adapter
with a grounding wire does not guarantee
machine will be grounded. Ground source must
be verified.

W1666 Dust Collector can be
operated at 110 or 220 volts. The motor supplied
with your new Dust Collector is rated at 2 horse
power and will draw approximately 9 amps at
220 volts and 18 amps at 110 volts.
The motor comes prewired for 220 volt opera-
tion and is not supplied with a plug. Use a plug
and outlet rated at least 15 amps. The circuit for
this machine, should also be protected by 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 Dust Collector. Add up the
load ratings of all machines on the circuit. If this
number exceeds the rating of the circuit break-
er or fuse, use a different outlet.
110V Operation
The motor can be wired for 110 volt operation.
Please see the wiring diagram near the end of
this manual for information about rewiring the
motor. Use a plug and outlet rated at least 20
amps. The circuit for this machine, should also
be protected by a 20 to 25 amp circuit breaker
or fuse. It is not recommended that other
machines or tools be used on the same circuit.
