120v Long Ranger DC remotes work just as well with HVLP turbines. ;^)



And you can be three houses away, accidently push the ON button
while it's in your jacket pocket, and, if you're DC is in an ALMOST
soundproof room, be fortunate enough to open that door to turn
on the compressor - only 6 hours later. THAT's why I don't put the
shop's electric heater on one.


That would make sense. I guess I can call my small house and
basement shop desirable in that sense. No accidentally running
equipment! G


Ya gotta treat it like a trigger on a loaded gun!

With the remote in a pocket of my shop apron, I have inadvertently turned on
the DC from my office - about 50' away; and yesterday I accidentally turned
it on at least four times when a tape measure was dropped into the same
pocket and hit the button whenever I leaned/brushed against something in the
shop.

And on the same note, and even though it could be dangerous if you're not
real careful where you step or what you drop, I did buy a footswitch for the
router in the Multi-Router ... sometimes when you need three hands a foot
will do.
