Power Tool Switch 2246 Is Not Bothered by Metal Dust

With the power tool switch of the 2246 series, Marquardt has developed a completely encapsulated switch with an integrated interference suppression capacitor. The system solution from Marquardt therefore defuses the danger potential: one-handed angle grinders are normally used for metalworking where metal dust gradually accumulates in the whole handle shell. This has already led to sparkovers in different models. In some of these cases “only” thus fuse blew. However, there have been reports of tools where the outside metal parts were live in severe cases. The user’s life was even in danger.

Now, however, all live metal parts are completely insulated inside the switch so that all the power connections in the tools are totally potential-free to the outside.

Versions of the 2246 series are possible as mechanical on/off switches and with docked electronics.
