The new Lf724 paint remover, which is also suitable for use on untreated wood, provides a more environmentally sound solution for coating removal than other methods such as heat gun with putty knife and chemical stripping.

The Lf724 paint remover features Metabo's exclusive S-automatic clutch, which increases the life of the tool by reducing damage to the gear train when the planer hits a nail on siding or wood. The efficient design incorporates the same winding protection
grid featured on other Metabo tools, reducing the overall cost to the customer. The tool has four reversible solid tungsten carbide blades for long service life, while a low vibration level reduces user fatigue. It creates minimal dust during use and is highly suitable for handling rabbets.

Blade cutting diameter is 3 1/7" and the maximum rabetting height is 1 1/0". Cutting depths are .012", axil and .006", radial. No-load speed for the Lf724 is 11,000 rpm, torque is 18 inch lbs., and total tool weight is 6.25 lbs.

The new remover comes standard with the four carbon blades, a vacuum adapter, a combination wrench, and a carrying case.
