Title: Help needed replacing a switch on a table saw
Post by: WolfgangIII on April 17, 2024, 11:40:40 am
Hello everyone, I am seeking some advice, and as I don't know anyone whom I can ask  directly I have turned to the good people of the inter net for help.
it's a straight forward problem, the switch on my table saw stopped working, only worked when manually held in. So I bought a replacement on line and assumed as it is almost identical that the wiring would also be. When I connected it up, it just kept tripping the power. Then I thought it may be the capicator, so I replaced that. Same issue. Finally I had a look on the side of the switch and I see the wiring is different. I was hoping someone could tell me the corrisponding numbers from the two circuit diagrams. [attachimg=1]

Thank you very much. I have to go buy some ceramic fuses before I can try it out, but I will let you know what happens.

I got it working  ;D. Thanks to your help wraper. It took some figuring out, but nievely from my part I discovered the pin position on the switch didn't match the pin position in the diagram on the side of the switch . On the new switch I could see the pins marked with numbers but it wasn't till l put on stronger glasses I saw the very feint numbers on the original switch. Live and learn.
