SPEED AND WIRING
The no-load speed of this tool is approximately 3,600 rpm. 
This speed is not constant and decreases under a load 
or with lower voltage. For voltage, the wiring in a shop 
is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A line 
intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power 
tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance 
will be too light for a greater distance. A line that can 
support one power tool may not be able to support two  
or three tools....
