Keyless Guard

The keyless guard (C) allows for quick adjustment during the application to enhance 

application versatility.

Dust Ejection System

The dust ejection system prevents dust pile-up around the guard and motor inlet, and 

minimises the amount of dust entering the motor housing.

Soft Start Feature

D28116, D28117, D28133, D28136, D28137

The soft start feature allows a slow speed build-up to avoid an initial jerk when 

starting. This feature is particularly useful when working in confined spaces.

Electronic Variable Speed Control

D28116, D28117, D28136, D28137

The electronic variable speed control (E) offers added tool control and enables the tool 

to be used at optimum conditions to suit the accessory and material.

Autobalance Feature

D28117, D28137

The auto balance feature continuously adjusts the balance to reduce the vibration of 

the machine when it is running. This improves user comfort during the operation and 

is particularly useful when using the machine for long periods of time.

Clutch

The torque limiting clutch reduces the maximum torque reaction transmitted to the 

operator in case of jamming of a cutting disc. This feature also prevents the gearing 

and electric motor from stalling. The torque limiting clutch has been factory-set and 

cannot be adjusted.

No-volt Release Switch

The on/off switch (A) has a no-volt release function. If the power be shut off for some 

reason, the switch has to be deliberately reactivated.
