Kity 612 Bandsaw on/off switch

[fuzzyfozzy]

Hi, new to using forums, so please bear with me. I have a Kity 612 bandsaw and the original rotary on/off switch packed up, disintegrated and has been binned a while back. It appears that original replacements are not available so wonder if anyone knows of a good replacement and can give me precise details. Thanks in hope

One like this is easy to fit. You may need to make a plate to cover or alter the original opening.

I've tried one like this with a fifth pin to accommodate the extra black wire, but it trips my circuits which ever way I wire it. It seems too simple for an induction motor, but thanks

I would think it only needs four pins? Did the old switch have five?

Three input (240v) and four to the motor - it has a Capacitor(?) on it which demands a different arrangement of wiring, but I don't know what switch will do. Have also tried the one you indicated and it does not work either.

That's me out, I'm afraid.

This may help you as to what the various wires are for.....?

Its a wiring diagram for a Kity 612, to suit either single phase or 3 phase.

Thank you for that. Am hoping that some one can name a current switch that I can wire up.
