Motor
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means
your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on
DC. A rating of 120 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. All Black & Decker tools are factory-tested; if this
tool does not operate, check the power supply.
WARNING:
To prevent personal injury, always disconnect plug from power
source before assembly, making adjustments or changing bits. Failure to do so
could result in accidental starting and possible injury.
