    Its to not exceed 13 v trough the motor
    It doesnt cut out
    It limits to 13 even if u put more voltage on it

    that is wrong. i own spirit and thunder. both auto cut off it does not limit the voltage the machine stops running and wont start until the voltage is lowered on my eikon ems 400 this happens around 14.5 on both machines.....

    So what is the top voltage of that motor? They may have done that so they never have to worry about burned out motors.

    yes i think that is one reason and also because the hawk machines are so quiet i never use it above 11v ever. usually lower 8.5-9.5 they are so quiet i coul see some artists cranking the fuck out of it and not knowing because it ddesnt sound like other rotarys when run very high its still almost silet

    Why didn't you change the end for a rca? I've found ditching the lead on the old hawk and the circuit it made it run even smoother, plus mines now got a halo motor in it!
