Just to verify, the power to the motor is cut off when the switch is released and remains on only while rocker is held down?

yes this in a momentary switch. and it reverses the polarity up + - down - +

The rocker switch is a normally open switch, you want a difference type of switch that will stay closed when you want to turn on the motor, or you need a seal circuit with a push button that will open and close the circuit

Yes, if it is a momentary switch. Any other configuration will not work that way.

Yes, the switch I bought was for an electric actuator and as it sits their is no power going through it. When you push in on the switch it will send power to your motor.

I can't really add much to the other answer, but if yours stays on when you let go of the button, you probably have a defective one and I'd return it, as like said in the other answer, the motor should stop when you let go of the button. By the way, I love this thing!!! Can't do w/o it !

When depressed, the power is cut off. Since it is a safety button, one has to turn the button to release iit and restore the power.

The main power switch doesn't stay on the off position after power button if turned off and heating element has cooled.

You have to continue to hold the switch down or it shuts off. I see it as a safety.

It is not magnetic, it is mechanical in operation. The stop lever has two tabs that engage to hold the stop button closed. So the power will be off if the power is disconnected.

Loaded at rated capacity, it doesn't make any difference how high it is. Things don't get heavier as they go up. No power? There is no power on it until the hand-switch is activated anyway. So if power is lost during use, well, it wouldn't be any different than releasing the hand switch. It takes power to release the braking action built in.

I'm not positive, but I believe when it's knob is in the off position there is no power flowing.

I think the DC cord is detachable, can't remember if it in the way of the switch though.

I no longer have this machine, but my guess based on the fact that it is a very simple machine, is that the switch is a circuit breaker severing the flow of electricity when it is in the off position. Therefor when the machine is plugged back with the switch in the on position the flow of electricity will not be impeded from the get go thus the machine will be ON. I had a bad experience with this machine and it stopped working within a few months of owning it. Hopefully you will have a better experience.

That has never happened to me, so I can't answer specifically. However, if I unplug it, it must be reset again, so I assume the same would be true of a power failure.

Even Better. There is a rocker switch on the side of the unit itself to turn it off and on. I don't use the switch since I wired it in under cabinet but I just checked and the switch is there.

Whether the switch is 'on' or 'off' it appears the same. The 'off' paddle must be pushed to shut the equipment off. I guess to answer your question, the 'off' lever is down when the switch is 'on'.

No. As soon as you turn the power switch to on the RA motor begins to function.

You would need to reset....there is a power switch to too but timed off for safety

That sounds faulty. My pedal cuts all power when in the untouched/"neutral" position. Speed control works on mine to control my Dremel.

The orange indicator goes on when the rocker is off. That lets me know when the light is off not just dimmed.
