DESCRIPTION

Your Hammer Drill 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 drill does not operate when plugged into correct 120-volt, 60-Hz AC ONLY 

outlet, check the power supply. This hammer drill has a 10-ft., 2-wire power cord 

(no adapter needed).
