The all-new design of the DeWalt is lighter than their
predecessor the DeWalt 849 polisher and delivers the power and
speed control necessary for use on a variety of materials,
ranging from uses by professional detailers, enthusiast and
body-shops all the way to boats, metal work and concrete
surfaces. The DWP849X and DWP849 are both ideal for, but not
limited to, automotive detailers, paint specialists, metal
fabricators and finishers.
"Research showed the need for a polisher that allows users to
perform difficult jobs with as much speed control as
possible," said Kirk Reimer, product manager, DEWALT. "Our new
7"/9" Variable Speed Polishers offer professionals a
combination of power and speed control that other units on the
market do not offer."
The DWP849X and DWP849 feature a powerful 12 AMP motor and a
variable speed dial that delivers 0-600/0-3,500 RPM, giving
users the power and speed they need for tough applications. In
addition to the speed dial, the variable speed trigger allows
users to further control the speed from zero to the specified
maximum setting (600 to 3,500 RPM).
The DWP849X offers several additional upgrades to the DWP849
that result in greater control, comfort and durability. The
DWP849X includes the (CFS) Controlled Finishing Systemฎ with
soft start to give users improved speed control and finish
quality. In addition to the traditional straight side handle,
the DWP849X comes with a three-position bale handle for
multiple gripping options. It also offers an ergonomically
sculpted rear handle with rubber overmold, as well as a
non-marring rubber gear case cover which helps to reduce the
chance of finish scuffs or scratches. The ergonomic two-finger
trigger helps to reduce user fatigue by accommodating a range
of finger positions for professionals using the tool over an
extended period of time; all of these features provide
improved comfort and speed control compared to traditional
polishers.
The hook and loop backing pad, which is included with the
DWP849X, allows for quick, tool-free accessory changes. Hook
and loop accessories available on the market are compatible
with the unit, giving users the option to choose the accessory
that will provide the appropriate finish quality, depending on
the application. Contributing to the durability of the DWP849X
are the wool ingestion shields covering the air intake. These
shields help to eliminate wool and debris ingestion,
increasing the life the tool.
Both 7"/9" Variable Speed Polishers will be priced
competitively, and they will be available through independent
construction and automotive distributors, as well as online,
in May 2011. Both tools will come standard with a three-year
limited warranty, one-year free service contract and 90-day
money-back guarantee.
