open circuit is still registered, then the distance between the mounted assembly may need to

” on each side. Loosen the nuts holding the switch and magnet to the

case top then pinch them slightly closer and retighten the nuts.

• If this still doesn't fix the problem then a new switch assembly (magnet and reed switch)

should be installed.

7.3 Foot Switch

Designed to work in series with the Safety Switch, the Foot Switch is a simple mechanical micro-

switch operated by a spring-loaded pedal. At rest the switch condition should be normally open.

Closing the switch begins the cycle.

• Turn the power to the machine off.

• Turn the Foot Pedal and guard over and remove the two small screws that hold the pedal to

the base.

• Use a flat tip screwdriver to pry the pedal free from the yellow guard (it is held by a silicone

caulk).

• Using a flat or Phillips screw driver, remove the two screws on the left and right side of the

pedal. This will allow the pedal to come apart exposing the switch underneath.

• Use two leads of the ohmmeter to probe the wire terminals while the switch is still in the

pedal. (Fig 25)
