If you want a certain MODE set for you at the factory please choose it from the options described and write it in the section for notes at the checkout. 

If you just want the standard version, please write the model of the controller in the section for notes at the checkout.  

Certain models do not allow all the options.

Standard mode options

  • MTI ... Start Speed
  • MT II ... Curve (positive and negative with Linear in the middle)
  • PWM II ... has no modes since the controls are on the handle.

You can change these modes by simply changing the links and values as shown in the   List of shorting solder links for different MODES  shown below.

This Element enables you to clean the contacts without opening up the handle. 

Simple application of a cleaning fluid on a cotton bud and fed through the air vents allows easy access to clean.

  1. Apply some switch cleaner/lubricant to the tip of a cotton bud. 
  2. Feed the bud through the air vent slots to reach the element contact pads and wiper finger contacts. 
  3. Wipe the cotton bud across the element pads all over avoiding pulling on the wiper contact fingers in case they bend. 
  4. Operate the trigger several times wiping across the cleaned area so that it also cleans the wiper finger contact points. 
  5. Repeat as necessary.
