The core idea of “sFlex” is to make the dangerous angle grinder tool safer for do-it-yourselfers. To start cutting, the users must pull the top grip towards them and then the saw blade slides out. If the users lose control of the tool or “sFlex” falls out of their hand, the saw blade automatically retracts again. In the grinding mode, the grinding pad slides out through an opening in the bottom part of the housing.
