Pneumatic Foot Switch
Presair’s air pneumatic foot switch provides safe, hands-free control of power tools and outdoor electrical equipment in wet environments. The system fully isolates the switch from the equipment being operated.
When the foot pedal is pressed, it sends a pulse of air through tubing to the air switch connected to the equipment. This air-activated design eliminates electrical contact at the point of actuation, reducing the risk of electric shock.

Presair switches are designed & manufactured in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, U.S.A.
Presair’s pneumatic foot switch system provides hands-free on/off control for equipment rated up to 15 amps. The system includes 10 feet of air tubing, allowing remote operation of router tables, scroll saws, benchtop sanders, grinders & other stationary tools. The foot pedal connects to an air switch converter box, which plugs into a grounded outlet. The equipment plugs into the converter box, enabling air-actuated power control when the pedal is pressed.
The system supports remote operation from distances up to 100 feet and is simple to install. The pneumatic foot pedal includes an internal air bellow that sends a pulse of air through tubing to the air switch, isolating the user from electrical current.
Presair also supplies electric foot pedals, offering a low-profile solution for applications requiring direct-wired switching at lower cost.
