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 ma

USING THE TOOL IMPORTANT: Before using the tool, consider the kind and amount of material to be removed. More than one cut may be necessary to avoid overloading the motor. Before beginning the cut on the actual workpiece, make a sample cut on a piece of scrap lumber. This will allow you to see the finished cut and to check dimensions. Always be sure the work is rigidly clamped or otherwise secured before making a cut. Generally speaking, when working on a bench, hold the workpiece on the bench w
