Can this switch be left in the center off position? I want to use it for a forward/reverse motor. The switch I have now has a unstable center off position.

I am using it to run a 12 volt motor in forward and reverse on a lift gate and it works fine. For 115 volt you have to run it with two switches. David

This switch is very stable in the center position. Great switch. Heavy duty.

Yes it can. We used it for a baby swing and kept it in the middle position when we weren't using it.

No. You must use the switch on the fan body to reverse the fan. The switch only controls the speeds and light. The reverse switch is not on the control to prevent the user from reversing the fan when in operation and damaging the motor. Always start the fan control in high speed and never switch into reverse while the fan is moving. Following these guide lines should keep your fan operating for many years.

Yes, the switch is located on the upper side of the motor housing along with the speed control, I use mine in a router table so the one hand problem is not an issue for Me.

No, you cannot use this in a 3-way switch and keep the functionality of the other switch. You could use it with the other 3-way switch, but you'd have to always keep that switch in one certain position. I'd suggest doing some Bing searches on how 3-way switches work.It would be possible to re-wire it, and remove the other switch.

Hello, Been using this switch for teh past couplel months and it works great. Clean on counter with a very low profile. I did not install it and would have have put the under counter bit in a better position. I will prob move this around when I get to it. Otherwise we are happy with the product.

Hi, I read what you said and the only thing I can say is, If that's the case you may have to send it back for a replacement my switch is not easy to move infact it has just the right amount of stiffness.Yet you're sounds very loose, let them know that.But if you had it for awhile then it might be hard to do it. I hope that I was helpful. Enver A

The center pin is reversible. Each of the adapters that plug into the output cable, can be inserted with either the center pin positive or the center pin negative. This is a great switch-mode power supply, by the way!

Check to make sure that the little switch for choosing forward or reverse isn't stuck right in the middle (the switch is right by the trigger. If it's right in the middle you won't be able to push the trigger.

On the drill there is a small yellow button on the underside. You should be able to switch it into three different positions forward off and reverse. If that doesn't happen you may have a defective drill

There is a toggle switch on the bottom and in the back of the motor. Toggle to right for slow and left for high. The middle position is off.

It can be off centre but just by 1 to 2 mm. Be careful with the spindle because they don't make replacement for it. I had to wait 4 months until they had a used unit returned for me to get the part. Of course they charged me for a new unit but what can you do.

It seems it could work, it is a double pull double throw, almost meaning it can never turn off just change polarity(flipping the current). The switch works well for switching between functions possibly Foreward reverse function. I doubt that it is a direct swap but of you know someone who could install it it should work with a bit of fabrication ie splicing it into a harness.

no. but if the access panel on the right rear of the motor is removed, you'll see a red wire and a black one. don't mess with these. this motor is split phase, which means it can turn in either direction. that said, there are two connections which accept either a female spade-type disconnect, or wire ring type. these are the two leads in from the on/off switch. one lead per pole. to get the motor to turn in the desired direction, simply switch either of those leads on the poles. hope this helps.

This is a good all around switch. I've used it on a motorcycle. I'm not sure of your application, but the switch has functioned well for me with no problems. I use a relay on the run circuit,

Yes; the switch is in the front. You have a choice of "low", "off", and "high". Caveat: The fan is very lightweight, so when you use the switch you can substantially change the angle of the fan.

I don't think switching the wirse will make it reverse. Don't know how to slow it down. Sorry

Detented?......haven't heard that word in a while. Facing the installed switch, turning to the far left is the off position and I do believe it's detented. You feel and hear a click when you turn it to the far left or counter clockwise.
