Hi Myfordman, I have recieved the switch from the supplier and my sparks came over to fit this for me but the supplied wiring diagram did not make sense, would you have a wiring diagram that you have used for your previous machine that you used? I am grateful for any help you or others can give...

I am somewhat like you, in as much all of my tools get a thougher going over and if I am honest a lot of my tools tend to be used once in the year as I have favourites I like to use more than the rest.
