ELECTRICAL
We do not recommend using an extension cord for 220V
operation. When it is necessary to use an extension cord,
use the following guidelines:
• Use cords rated for Standard Service
• Never exceed a length of 50 feet
• Ensure cord has a ground wire and pin
• Do not use cords in need of repair
Extension Cords
Grounding
This machine must be grounded! Verify that any exist-
ing electrical outlet and circuit you intend to plug into
is actually grounded. If it is not, it will be necessary to
run a separate copper grounding wire, of the appropri-
ate size, from the outlet to a known ground. Under no
circumstances should you connect your machine to an
ungrounded power source or electrocution or severe
shock could occur.
220V Operation
The SHOP FOX
®
MODEL M1109 Combo Lathe/Mill oper-
ates at 220 volt single-phase only. Only connect this
machine to a dedicated circuit (wire, breaker, plug,
receptacle) with a verified ground, using the recommend-
ed circuit size and NEMA 6-20 plug/receptacle (
Figure 6)
listed at the bottom of this page.
Never replace a circuit breaker with one of higher amper-
age without consulting a qualified electrician to ensure
compliance with wiring codes. If you are unsure about
the wiring codes in your area or plan to connect your
machine to a shared circuit, you may create a fire haz-
ard—consult a qualified electrician to reduce this risk.
