However, you CAN have that IF you install a 110/220V "magnetic" switch; in SERIES with this device. Of course IF you hit the "STOP" switch in this device, and then the power goes off; the motor, will NOT come back on when the power comes back on. **Q: Can you mount this on it side and the paddle stay down?** A: NO. The paddle FLOATS! IF the switch is in the upright position, you can lift the bottom on the paddle up 90 degrees (Straight out).. See the "flat" top of the paddle arms. If you mounted this switch upside down, the paddle will be straight out. **Q: How many poles / throws, and normal-open / normal-closed circuits?** A: This switch is DPST. Both contacts close in the 'on' position and both open in the 'stop' position. There are no other contacts. Switch works great on my router table. **Q: Can you tell me which wires go to which posts I am wireing for 120 v table saw 1 3/4 hp. No markings no instr. Thanks** A: Go to Powertech website for information on the switch. Powertecproducts.com/71007-110-220v-paddle-switch/ . The second picture has demintions and a small schematic of the switch. A multimeter will tell what matches up when the switch is active. As long as you use the same end as supply/ line (since it is a simple switch) it won't matter. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well build, functions perfectly *by on Reviewed in the United States February 24, 2025* Received the switch in less than 2 days, it came nicely packaged. Originally bought it for my Router table, but since I use my Table Saw more, I decided to put it on the saw. Installation was easy and straight forward. It works well and is well made. I was concerned there would be flex in the paddle when you hit it to turn off, buy it is nice and solid. I have had PowerTec switches on my Table saw and Band saw for years, just no the paddle ones. The paddle is great, no fumbling around when you are shutting the saw off. Will be adding 2 more, one for my router table and one for my band saw. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great, be aware it is large *by on Reviewed in the United States May 21, 2026* This power switch works great. Yes the buttons take a "deliberate" press but that's much better than being able to accidentally hit a button.Be aware this switch is larger than a standard jiffy box and won't fit. I used an outdoor aluminum box with an extension ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Appears to be a good safety switch *by on Reviewed in the United States February 16, 2019* It is likely that this switch was not intended to be mounted in a single gang box, but rather for a manufactured purpose such as a drillpress, bandsaw, tablesaw.. where the receiving housing size would be engineered for a proper fit.Wiring is easy enough, follow the wiring diagram. From your power source (LINE), install the LINE hot (black) and neutral (white) leads on the side labeled "LINE" and do the same for the leads running to the motor on the LEAD side. Very simple, yet this is missed by some. If you have green leads, they will not attach to the switch, but should be tied together, connected to a metal ground item, motor mount, ground point in a metal box, etc... not to the switch.The mounting screws appear to be metric, and consist of a screw with a lock washer and nut on the back.I have to assume this switch is not really intended to be installed into an electrical box, but rather into a housing, such as on my Delta bandsaw. While installing this switch, I compared it to the Delta switch and the only visible difference is the Delta does not have the large STOP paddle. The "box" enclosure on the delta is not a standard electrical box, and this new switch appears to be a perfect fit for such an application.In the case of how I installed it, I discarded the 2 metric mounting screws, and replaced them with standard US switch plate 8-32 x 1.5" screws. Yes, very long screws, but I was going through the switch cover, then plywood, then into a water tight box. A bit of overkill, but it works perfectly.I can not yet judge the durability/longevity of the switch, but it appears to be well made.The green "ON" button has a lockout hole through it. A lock pin can be inserted to keep the power switch from being depressed, nice safety feature.The ON button must be depressed firmly until a "click" is felt/heard. This is another safety feature of the switch.This is NOT a light switch, for those who complain about how hard it is to push and turn on. ## Frequently Bought Together - POWERTEC 120V/230V Dual Voltage Paddle Switch, 3 HP at 230 Volts, UL Certified.
