MOTOR
Many Porter-Cable tools will operate on either D.C., or single phase 25 to 60
cycle A.C. current and voltage within plus or minus 5 percent of that shown on
the specification plate on the tool. Several models, however, are designed for
A.C. current only. Refer to the specification plate on your tool for proper voltage
and current rating.
Do not operate your tool on a current on which the voltage is not
within correct limits. Do not operate tools rated A.C. only on D.C. current. To do
so may seriously damage the tool.
DEFINITION
1 ......... Revolutions or reciprocations per minute
for the time/current characteristic, as given in IEC 60127
