The green wire or Earth ground is there for safety. IF there is a failure in the motor that causes a short to the metal body , the green wire transfers that electrical charge directly to earth ground instead of though you.Connect the green wire to the metal body of the grinder or body of the motor.

Thanks. Your artwork is truly impressive. :-)

Would a single pole Leviton 15 amp switch be an acceptable substitute?

It fits the hole the best and I can frame it with some 1/8th inch plywood to fill the gap.





sokoloff:
If the factory original switch functions, why "improve" upon it?

It was designed for the purpose and has the physical "mash it blindly to turn off the grinder in the event of emergency" benefit.
