Most belt-sander races aren't sanctioned events. Accidentally pull the trigger, set the tool on your bench, and when as you plug the cord into the outlet, you've got yourself a track-side seat.
Sanctioned belt sander races are fun, but when an accidental trigger pull turns your workbench into the drag strip, the event ends with a damaged workpiece or trashed tool. Considering the potential of other tools, it's easy to imagine how an unexpected start--when you're plugging it into an outlet, or resetting a blown fuse--can be much worse than an amusing anecdote.
The SafetyGate patented sensor technology recognizes when your tool is accidentally left on and indicates this by an illuminated yellow LED light. This protective "gate" that stops the flow of electricity, stops the dangerous restart. When you are ready, simply turn the tool off and then back on to release the "gate" and resume safe normal use.
This plug can be applied to each and every tool that locks on so that the SafetyGate is your tool's new plug, with the added benefit of being safer for you, your family and friends.
