## Questions & Answers

**Q: if the power goes off does the switch reset or do you have to press the start button again?**
A: The Switch is a mechanical switch, you have to press the on button with a good force to start them any bump on the stop will "pop" it out of the connect/on mode.  So if the power goes put the switch will be in the same state is was before the power outage.  I ALWAYS bump the stop paddle before anything, plugging it in , restarting,  I'm using it on my router setup.

**Q: Could this be used on a band saw?**
A: It can be used on any tool with a 3 prong plug.

**Q: Most switches declare for use with 1/2 horse power tools.  what is the hp rating for this switch ?  i am operating a freud ft2200 vce 3.25hp 15 amps.**
A: I am running it on a 2 1/4 HP DeWalt router rated at 12 amps, no problems.  I don't see any rating on the switch itself, HP or amps although the website says 15 amps which should square with your router's maximum draw.  I know there are some really funny HP ratings on portable power tools.  A table saw with a normal 2.5 HP motor would probably require 15 amps at 220 volts.  I run my Unisaw on a dedicated 20 amp 220v circuit.  Not much specific help on your question, but I think I would wing it!

**Q: What are the dimensions as I have limited room?**
A: Stop handle is 3.5 inches wide x 5 1/2 inches  in length top down. The electrical box is 2.5 inches wide x 4 1/4 inches in length.
I mounted mine on my router table.

Works great

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality and sturdy switch

Very sturdy and high quality product … highly recommend!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ PLUG AND PLAY! Short mounting screws
*by A***G on May 25, 2025*

Easy to set up pretty straightforward! Plug and play. Only issue is that the mounting screws are incredibly short. After the lock washer the nut only bites down on a few threads. Ran to my local hardware store to buy longer screws.
