Do not use the switch with a load of more than 10 amps

This switch could not withstand loads up to 10 amps. Stops working after 6 months of use. I opened it up, reassembled the internals and revised the simple hinge configuration. Now, after 4 more months of trying, I'm just throwing it away. The switch can work when the maximum load is less than 8 amps.

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Some minor things

I can now work safely and with full control on the table saw Thank you for a great product.

Pros
  • Hand or foot use
Cons
  • Not sure
