Hi all......I am new to this group. Very happy to be here. I just started my woodworking a few days back. Now in the process of getting tools and making a woodworking table. I have a question.....
I bought a new paddle safety switch for my router. I connected the switch, when i turn it ON, only the router light turns ON but not the motor. Then I manually turned the router switch OFF and ON and the motor runs. Why is my router motor not running when turned ON from the switch. On the other hand when the router is running, and I press the OFF from the switch, the router stops running. So basically only the OFF button from the switch is working not the ON button. Is there any problem with the router or the Switch? I tried the paddle switch from two different brands. Its the same issue in both case. Is there something i can do to the router motor? OR is it something related to the wiring in the switch? My router is a 2 1/2 HP, 14A motor. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
