Dynabrade Die Grinder: Safety and Warranty
Each Dynabrade die grinder has a safety lock lever to prevent injury. Handles are designed to minimise fatigue or injury from vibration or strain. Some models have a conductive hose to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
If a Dynabrade tool malfunctions, it can be returned to Dynabrade for repair or replacement. All models are covered by a comprehensive guarantee for the life of the tool.
