What's wrong? Installed on my drill press but upon release of green start button motor stops. I read about a magnetic coil and thought I had polarity wrong; so I switched input to no avail.

I have used many of these switches on several of my tools, both 110v and 220v. I have had none of them fail in the manner you describe. I can only suggest that it is a defective unit, or you may have wired it wrong (but that is unlikely). Just to check your work, you did replace your drill press switch with this one, right? I mean, you are not trying to use both switches, right?

Been a while, but remember having trouble with installing that switch. Did a web search for a wiring diagram for a similar switch (I don't think it was a Woodstock switch). Wiring was corrected including ground and it preformed as advertised.

This switch is the Master. It should be wired to the drill press with the drill press switch bypassed or permanently "on." The Woodstock will then totally control the drill press or any other device you might connect one to. If you turn the Woodstock ON THEN turn the SLAVE device ON, the Woodstock may or may not trip according to the load. It is designed to trip with a high load, very confusing if you are experimenting with say a 75w lamp which won't trip the Woodstock whereas a circular saw assuredly will. There is a circuit diagram on the internal body of the switch, not very easy to read but straight forward if you are little familiar with circuit diagrams. Once you understand what this thing does (and does it well) it is problem free. Hope this helps

On my table saw, I have to hold the button in for about a second or two--until the saw comes up to speed. If I don't hold if long enough and then try to press it again quickly, it will trip the circuit.

That is the one that quit on me also. When you pull your needle off and put it back on the new motor just align it on (0) i found it helpfull to follow the youtube video. If it is not right just take it apart again and realign the needle i had to do that two times to get everything right.

O.k. Thanks! I'll try that tonight. I saw that short knob and I keep messing with it, but nothing is happening. I think I'm not doing it right though so I'll try again and maybe get someone to help me. When I jiggle and pull the knobit, do I pull on the base of the machine at the same time? Just making sure I understand what to do here. Thanks again!

U bought it through Amazon, RETURN IT and get another one. Sounds like it's got a short or a defective motor/ battery. Take advantage of Amazons excellent return policy.

Have not had this problem....but guess I would plug it in...starter will not work if it is discharged.

Thanks, i'll check for the switch on the back tonight. i'm sure the polarity is correct, red to lead (+) and black to ground (-) right?

No, mine starts fine at low and high speeds. Sounds like the motor or switch may have a loose wire.

On the new model I believe there is a reverse option used to push slush down the hole once the hole is cut...Sounds stupid but I would check to make sure it's spinning in the correct direction...if it's not engaging the motor then I would check the safety switch on the handle and make sure it's not broken. (that happened on mine and I just removed the safety switch and it works just fine)

Simplest answer is your drill probably runs at too low RPM, try a faster drill befroe changing bits.

Probably a good idea to buy a new battery. You might also check the contacts in the Dremel. Try hitting it against your hand with the power on, have found this works as well. Sort of magic!

I would check for spark first, a simple test for this would be unscrewing the spark plug while connected the putting the against a piece of metal if you see sparks consistently then the coil is good and it most likely is a fuel delivery problem. This one way work I would mesaure and make sure the screw holes line up otherwise you may need to machine new holes. hope this helps.

Only thing I can think of is the Safety/Run button isn't depressed. Can you try the battery on another tool to make sure it's good or really fully charged ?? Those are the only two things other than a mechanical (internal) problem that would cause that I can think of. Suggest you contact the company.

Do you have the little "key" plugged into the mower? You need to insert that into the slot, or it will not start. Also, be sure you first push the button and then pull the handle; it sounds like that's what you did, but just want to make sure.

I have the same problem albeit - using the drill the one time I tested it out, the bit didn't come out. I don't think your doing anything wrong - I'm guessing its something in the design. I will admit though - being able to just pull the bit out, does make me a little uncomfortable.

If I understand the construction it does not matter since the creation of a magnetic field in any orientation is acceptable to energize the coil. I have cranked a tractor motor for a long time and have not had a problem yet.

I'm not sure in your particular instance what the problem was. In my case, I was hooking this up to a treadmill. As it happened at the point I was tapping into the system (power going to the motor) the amperage was too great for this device. I would have burned it out. So originally I used batteries to run it. I got tired of that solution and it occurred to me that a AC/DC switching power converter could provide the solution I was looking for. I found one on eBay and hooked it up to where the power came into the treadmill (before the motor board). I then used this as my power supply for this device and it works great. Perhaps something like that could work for you? It was only $9.98. In my case I was looking for something small I could install inside the treadmill. I was able to bolt it down in the same general area as the motor control board. I've been using this solution now for almost a year and have had no problems.

I have 4 of the PS series of the Bosch and none have a reset button. I have had a drill to shut down due to overloading/heat, but when cooled off it went back to work.I will offer the following....The trigger switch has failed......battery contacts are not aligned....charger is not working properly.......batteries have failed/overheated....metal shavings or debris has fouled the armature..........drill has been dropped once too often......worn out?, time to replace!!!!!
