This means that the amount of electrical power needed to start the appliance may exceed the amount needed to maintain its use. Refer to the appliance for its maximum starting power. Electrical appliances and tools normally come with a label indicating voltage, cycles/HZ, amperage and electrical power needed to run the appliance or tool.
