220V Operation
The SHOP FOX
®
W1684 must be operated at 220
volts. The motor supplied with your new
machine is rated at 2 HP and will draw approxi-
mately 14 amps during single-phase, 220 volt
operation. When choosing a circuit for this
machine, consider using one with a 15 amp cir-
cuit breaker or fuse.
Figure 8.
NEMA-style 6-15 plug and outlet.
Never replace the circuit breaker with one
rated at a higher amperage or damage to
the circuit may occur, and a fire may
result!
When choosing plug and outlet, use a NEMA-
style 6-15 as shown in
Figure 8
. 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.
