Motor
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 110 Volts
AC only means your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz household
power. Do not operate AC tools on DC. A rating of 110 volts AC/DC
means that your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz AC or DC power.
This information is printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause
loss of power and can result in over-heating.
Extension Cords
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
