model 542 has a fabric selector switch...what is the purpose and do you find it helpful?

The AWN542 has a fabric selector switch that separates control of the agitation and spin selection speeds from the timer. This option gives the user more control over the wash cycle when compared to other models. All other models incorporate the agitation and spin operations into the cycle selection timer. A KNITS or DELICATE fabric selection with a REGULAR or PERMANENT PRESS cycle selection delivers a constant slow agitation coupled with selectable fast or slow extraction spin. None of the other models operate with the constant slow agitation feature in a complete cycle. The AWN542 continues to incorporate traditional Delicate and Hand Wash cycles that utilize intermittent slow agitation, extended soaks, and slow speed spins to perform a gentle wash. Another unique option is the ability in the SOAK cycle to use a fast or slow agitation and spin extraction.

There is a tacky strip on the bottom of the cutter. It holds the fabric in place. I have to be careful at the ends of the cutter because the strip doesn't go all the way to the end. Works nicely.

it is a switch to change on and off. So, you don't have to keep pushing it.

I not sure I quite understand you, But This switch has worked well for me in the past. and it is the same type I'm using now. If you have one like this and it has worked well for you , why change a good thing, I would recommend you get the same kind of switch.

DavE's answer was spot on. I used a standard hole punch and punched out a couple of shims, using the lid from an inexpensive TupperWare clone. The punched out holes fit perfectly into the inside of the rubber switch pad. I tried using two plastic shims first, thinking one would not be enough (they ARE very thin). However, that made the button too sensitive for the intermittent on feature (just a finger touch powered up the light). I removed one of the shims and the switch now works perfectly, using only one.

I use the yoke "electric trim" toggle for trim, I get a better feel for trimming the aircraft. It might be that its just my personal preference. I don't have a conflict on my setup.

You could use it to keep the two parts of fabric closed for a temporary solution. But you probably couldn't fit the stitches through the button's holes for a lasting solution. The stitches are very short.

Yes, it does need a switch. I did 2, one for power, and one for changing patterns.

I'm not sure what exactly you're talking about. What function does this switch perform?

the ones I received have a 1-5 selector on the TOP of the unit. It works just fine.

There are 3 different on/off switches that each control 3 ports. This way you can leave plugs and/or devices plugged in and not keep yanking cords out over and over and use the power buttons to cut power when not using

Angela, on the back of the laminator is a black switch labled "ABS"...this is the release switch that you can use. Hope this helps you but better yet hope that you never need to use it. :)

Yes you use it to transfer multi piece cutouts to clothing ( vinyls, iron one etc) to maintain the pattern. Unless you are using an extremely delicate fabric, you shouldn't have a problem using it with fabric.

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.

There's a round dial that adjusts temperature by fabric type. These same dial is used to turn it off and on.

none. it is a one layer of fabric kind of design, but oh, that one layer is magic for those of use that don't have 'peek-a-boo' issues.

Not sure. The complete circuit through the switch, may be calibrated to total the resistance (ohms) of all the circuit components. Omitting the backrest portion of the heating elements could lead to overheating and fire in the seat cushion or worse...the seat of your pants! I'd consult with the manufacturer on that issue.
