ELECTRICAL

We do not recommend using an extension cord

with most equipment because the cord can

generate heat that may cause fire or circuit

damage. If you must use an extension cord, use

the guidelines below.  

•Use a cord rated for Standard Service

(Grade S)

•Use a cord that is 100 feet or less only

•Use a cord with a ground pin

•Use an undamaged cord only

110V Operation

The 

SHOP FOX

®

Model W1690 Deluxe Ceiling

Mounted Air Cleaner uses a 110V, single-phase,

1

⁄

5

HP motor that draws approximately 3 amps

at the high speed setting.

Make sure the supply circuit, circuit breaker, or

fuse can carry the additional 3 amp load since

other machines may be using the same circuit. If

the total amperage load of all machines and the

air cleaner unit exceeds the amperage rating of

the circuit breaker or fuse, use a different

circuit that can carry the load. 

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.

Figure 1. NEVER cut the ground pin off so the

plug can fit into a non-grounded receptacle.

Grounding

Ground this machine! The electrical cord

supplied with the Model W1690 Air Cleaner has a

ground pin. If your power receptacle does not

have a ground pin hole, have the receptacle

replaced by a qualified electrician, or have an

appropriate adapter installed and grounded

properly. 

NEVER cut the ground pin off so your air cleaner

unit will plug into a non-grounded receptacle.

See  Figure 1. Remember, an adapter with a

grounding wire does not guarantee the air

cleaner unit is grounded. A ground source must

always be verified in the electrical circuit within

the wall or conduit.

Any electrical outlet and

circuit that you plug your

machine into must be

grounded. Serious injury

and/or fire may occur if this

warning is ignored!

NOTICE

When using an electrical plug adapter, make

sure the adapter is grounded.
