New Product: Two-handed start helps prevent injuries

    Oct. 11, 2007
    An ergonomic two-handed start control keeps operator hands away from rotating spindles and pinch points while using dc nut runners.

    A lowforce spring-loaded sleeve with a second switch lets the operator grip the tool comfortably in any orientation. Both switches must be actuated within 500 msec for the tool to start. The option is available on any E23L through E55L QPM model.
