E-switch Protection™
The ON/OFF paddle switch has a no-volt release function.
In the event of a power outage or other unexpected shut
down, the paddle switch will need to be cycled (turned off
and then on) to restarttool.
E-Clutch™
This unit is equipped with an E-Clutch™ (Electronic Clutch),
which in the event of a stall or wheel pinch, the unit will
be shut off to reduce the reaction torque to the user. The
switch needs to be cycled (turned off and then on) to
restarttool.
Brake
When the paddle switch is released the motor immediately
turns off and electronically brakes stopping the
accessoryquickly.
Kickback Brake™
When a severe pinch, stall, or bind-up event is sensed the
electronic brake engages with maximum force to quickly
stop the wheel, reduce the movement of the grinder, and
shut the grinder off. Turn the unit on to restart tool.
Constant Clutch™
When overloaded or stalled the motor torque is reduced. If
load is reduced the torque and RPM will increase. If the tool
is stalled for an extended amount of time it will shut-off and
require the switch to cycle to restart.

brushes, and wire wheels. The tool may be used
without a guard only when sanding and surface
finishing with conventional sanding and surface
finishing diamond pads. Refer to Figure A to see
guards provided with the unit. Some applications may
require purchasing the correct guard from your local
dealer or authorized servicecenter.
nOTE: Edge grinding and cutting can be performed with
Type 27 wheels designed and specified for this purpose;
1/4" (6.35 mm) thick wheels are designed for surface
grinding while thinner Type 27 wheels need to be examined
for the manufacturer's label to see if they can be used for
surface grinding or only edge grinding/cutting. A Type 1
guard must be used for any wheel where surface grinding
is forbidden. Cutting can also be performed by using a
Type41 wheel and a Type 1guard.
