Air-Actuated Hand Switches
Keep live electrical circuits away from work areas—these switches use air pressure to turn circuits on or off.

Air-Actuated Foot Switches
Press these switches with your foot for convenient, hands-free operation. They use air pressure to turn circuits on or off, keeping live electrical circuits away from work areas. Use the three-prong outlet to plug a device directly into the switch.
