Hilti has released its first angle grinders equipped with the companys unique
Smart Power system and Active Torque Control (ATC).
The new 5-inch DEG 500-D and 6-inch DEG 600-D and DEG 600-P all
feature Smart Power, which maintains a constant level of grinding speed for less
wear and tear on the 1,400-watt motor.A low-profile gear case provides better
access in tight areas and, if power is interrupted, a restart interlock helps prevent
accidental starts. For added operator protection, the ATC function interrupts
the electrical current into the tool in a fraction of a second to reduce unwanted
kickback if a sticking disk causes the tool body to move too quickly.
