DESCRIPTION
Your planer has a precision-built electric motor and it should be connected to a 120-volt,
60-Hz AC ONLY power supply (normal household current).
DO NOT operate on direct
current (DC). The large voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat.
If the planer does not operate when plugged into correct 120-volt, 60-Hz AC ONLY outlet,
check the power supply. This planer has a 10-ft., 2-wire power cord (no adapter needed).
