    Switch with Oversized Guard

    Switch with Safety Lever and Oversized

    Guard

    Operate these switches hands-free when working in wet or humid environments. They’re IP and NEMA rated, so they won’t corrode when exposed to water, oil, or coolant spray.
    Oversized Guard—Switches with an oversized guard fit bulky shoes and toe guards.
    Safety Lever—Switches with a safety lever lock the pedal in place to prevent accidental activation. Fully insert your foot to release the safety lever. If the lever isn't released, the pedal won't depress.
    With Guard—Switches with a guard shield the pedal so you don't accidentally step on it and activate the switch.
    Without Guard—Switches without a guard are unobstructed and let you press them from multiple angles.
    2 Speeds—Two-speed switches have two contact points. Push the pedal halfway down for the slow speed or all the way down for the high speed.

    Switch Guards
    Add an oversized guard to switches with or without a standard guard to shield the pedal from getting pressed by accident and to accommodate bulky shoes. Or, replace an existing oversized guard.
