DO NOT operate on direct current (DC). The large voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the tool does not operate when plugged into correct 120-volt, 60-Hz AC ONLY outlet, check the power supply. This buffer / polisher has a stub length, 2-wire power cord (no adapter needed).
