MOTOR
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC means
your tool will operate on alternating or direct current. As little as 10% lower voltage
can cause loss of power and can result in overheating. All PORTER-CABLE tools are
factory-tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply.
Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended
on the tool warning label. Accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and
cause injury. Accessory ratings must always be above tool speed as shown on tool
nameplate.
