The GA5042C is equipped with SJS™II, a mechanical gear drivesystem to help prevent motor and gear damage by dampening the force on the gearwhen the wheel is forced to stop. SJS™II is also features a leaf spring and camgear drive mechanism that is engineered to reduce vibration for increasedoperator comfort during extended use.

The 12 AMP motor delivers 2,800-11,000 RPM for versatilityand maximum productivity. Labyrinth construction protects the motor with acomplex set of channels, prohibiting dust and contamination from entering themotor. Additional protection features include a zig-zag epoxy applied to bothsides of the armature coil, and a powder-coating to the field. This forms abarrier under rotation and is engineered to protect from dust and debrispenetration for longer tool life.
