Electric planers with soft start

Soft start system

— the presence of a soft start function in the electric planer.

By themselves, the electric motors used in modern planers "start" very abruptly. This leads to jerks of the tool at start-up, due to which it is possible to spoil the workpiece or even drop the unit, which is fraught with injury. In addition, during a normal, non-soft start, the motor consumes a very high current at the moment of start, which leads to voltage surges in the network and an increased load on it. To avoid this, some tools are equipped with a soft start system — an electronic unit that limits starting currents. Due to such electronics, the engine enters the “slowly” mode, without jerks and power surges, which positively affects both the state of the network and the safety of use.
