Applications
For ferrous-metal grinding, paint and rust removal, metal polishing, auto repair, shipyard maintenance, brick and masonry cutting, and restoration work with suitable accessories.
Selection and Use
- Choose the wheel, guard and speed for the material and operation; a variable-speed dial does not make one accessory suitable for every task.
- The electronic controller provides soft start and constant-speed control, with a current limiter for overload protection.
- The tool-less guard and slide-switch lock-on support convenient setup and continuous operation.
