Review: Works great, be aware it is large - This power switch works great. Yes the buttons take a "deliberate" press but that's much better than being able to accidentally hit a button. Be aware this switch is larger than a standard jiffy box and won't fit. I used an outdoor aluminum box with an extension Review: Great switch, great price! - Some reviews complained that the switch was too tight for the junction box, so I bought an outdoor box and a 1" extension. I'm not sure I really needed the extension, but if you use solid wire it would definitely help. I did not have any problem with the alignment of the holes in the switch with the box. I did however, replace the #8 screws with #6 screws because that is what fit the outdoor box. Other reviews also said that the switch was hard to push. While it may be slightly harder than you would expect, it certainly is not a significant difference. Overall, I am very impressed with the quality of the 220v. switch for a very reasonable price. ## Features - INCLUDES: 120V Paddle Switch with wiring diagram for easy setup - HANDS-FREE OPERATION: Features a large, red emergency stop paddle that can be easily activated with your knee, thigh, or hip – eliminating the need to reach under your table.

However, you CAN have that IF you install a 110/220V "magnetic" switch; in SERIES with this device. Of course IF you hit the "STOP" switch in this device, and then the power goes off; the motor, will NOT come back on when the power comes back on. **Q: Can you mount this on it side and the paddle stay down?** A: NO. The paddle FLOATS! IF the switch is in the upright position, you can lift the bottom on the paddle up 90 degrees (Straight out).. See the "flat" top of the paddle arms. If you mounted this switch upside down, the paddle will be straight out. **Q: How many poles / throws, and normal-open / normal-closed circuits?** A: This switch is DPST. Both contacts close in the 'on' position and both open in the 'stop' position. There are no other contacts. Switch works great on my router table. **Q: Can you tell me which wires go to which posts I am wireing for 120 v table saw 1 3/4 hp. No markings no instr. Thanks** A: Go to Powertech website for information on the switch. Powertecproducts.com/71007-110-220v-paddle-switch/ . The second picture has demintions and a small schematic of the switch. A multimeter will tell what matches up when the switch is active. As long as you use the same end as supply/ line (since it is a simple switch) it won't matter. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great, be aware it is large *by P***S on May 21, 2026* This power switch works great.

Works with both 110/220. *by R***R on October 26, 2025* This switch was bought for my lathe as more of an emergency shutoff. I liked it so much that I bought 3 more for my other equipment. Wires up easily but you need to search for terminals to fit if you are wiring for 220, which I did. I used 8 AWG wire, a pvc weather proof box and pvc pipe to run it into my cabinet. With the wire I used the switch was a bit difficult to install into the box. You will need a riser to make the box deeper. Other than that it’s been a very good addition to my lathe. I push the on button with my finger and turn it off with a bump of my knee. ## Frequently Bought Together - POWERTEC 120V/230V Dual Voltage Paddle Switch, 3 HP at 230 Volts, UL Certified.
