Applications
For cutting, grinding and heavy-duty metalworking with a suitable wheel and guard. Use the speed dial to match the accessory and operation; constant-speed control helps maintain the selected speed under load.
Selection and Use
- The slide switch includes lock-on for continuous use.
- The brake helps shorten wheel coast-down; it does not replace the correct guard or operating technique.
- SJS II uses a leaf spring and cam-gear mechanism to absorb vibration.
